I normally find, when you're not ashamed of doing something, you've got no problem telling people about it. So, I would dare say, the radio silence implies they know they made an arse of themselves, or allowed their manager to do it on their behalf.

I do wonder how much the FIFO takes the players recoverability. From memory, the Reds got home at like 1:15-1:30am Sunday morning, by the time the players are home and in bed, it'd be close to 3-4am. So I can imagine training on Monday morning will be a complete writeoff and even Sunday's...

I'll call bullshit on this on RR. We cane the players when they get to international level and get out kicked in games by the opposition, but when they try to implement a kicking game we cry for them to right it? It is this type of attitude that stops Australian rugby players from learning...

When the Force folded, they were the only Australian team allowed by RA to go over the cap to sign the ex-Force players. Combine that with who they recruited last year and it's bewildering how they stayed under it. Then again, we've seen Melbourne teams have always thought salary caps don't...

Kellaway was beaten by Petaia, had a swinging arm that was high. Who cares if Petaia could have stayed up. Why does that change any of the earlier things? If Kellaway hadn't checked Petaia or impeded him, what could have happened after the fact?

The only time my collarbone hurt when I snapped it was taking the jersey over my head.

Goddamn. Huge defensive work by the reds there. Hopefully JOC (James O'Connor) didn't break his collarbone at the end there. Didn't look good at all.

He has the tiniest set of pins on a professional rugby player, I swear his biceps are bigger than his quads.

How the fuck is that not a professional foul by Kellaway?

Honestly, I was hoping for Flook to replace Jock this weekend. Jock has been pretty average defensively the past couple of games and the attempt at tackling Ramm on that first try was bang on pathetic.

There's a good article in the Guardian today about the previous NZ Administrators failures around the 2003 RWC and the parallels we're seeing now - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/aug/11/new-zealands-strong-arm-tactics-evoke-memories-of-2003-rugby-world-cup-debacle

Eh, for those thinking it's confusing, I think you're under-estimating how well the General Public can pick up these types of things. Looking at league, the Broncos were the only Queensland based team for awhile and that didn't cause any issues. Hell, we can change the names if you think it's...

Who said any of that? I simply asked, who are you going to get on a shoestring budget?

Mate, if you're going to call for Thorns head, then pony up a replacements name. Just remember, QRU and RA are broke. QRU had to stand down contractors during COVID, so much so the Reds lost their Defensive coach. So, who's coming to Balleymore on bugger all money with players across the...

I'm sure its a combination of things. The Reds also lost their line out caller + another jumper. Not only did this have an impact on our overall height, but it caused a change to how the Reds operated at lineout time. Prior to the lockdown we had Rodda + Hockings/Blyth, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) @ 6 and Wright at 7...

Outside of Marika, the other three have been pretty sub par in wallaby colours. They were all present for the failure of the Rebels 2019 Super Rugby campaign. So I don't know if going off their historical records works in their favour.

Goddamn that's a shitty thing to do. Doesn't RA need to sign off on all deals, so surely this type of dealing would cause them to have some concerns?

For those uneducated and without an ear to the ground. Are you able to share even if it's generalities? Would be great if the wider public knew how Picone conducted himself.

Ah yes Kearnsy, the enthusiam and joy you have for this commentary role just exudes itself every time you open your mouth.
