After all the talk that the Kings were going to be a laughing stock, after their first 80 minutes of Super Rugby surely this can no longer be the case. For those who saw the game are you able to identify what was good and bad about this team? How was the home ground support? I get the feeling...

This match was very hard to stomach as a diehard Reds fan. Can Cooper even play rugby outside of a halfback that isn't Will Genia? In saying that, Lucas was one of the few players that put in a commendable performance. The midfield combination was inept. The sooner we get Anthony back the better.

Not to mention weeknight games won't phase the uni students who should make up a great portion of the crowds. As a recent graduate I feel grudge matches between the big SEQ universities and any play-offs would garner respectable support, if marketed correctly. I'm actually excited about the...

You all seem to be overlooking QC (Quade Cooper). Given the money he has just been offered it would be silly to think the ARU are not going to pick him for the starting side. I'm calling a Genia/Cooper renaissance, of the likes we have only seen in red jumpers. Beale at fullback. Barnes at inside.

Mate not really. We're talking about the popularity of the game IN AUSTRALIA. Whether there are yarpies and kiwis watching is of little significance as far as the Australian market is concerned. The problem with the ratings is that there are only five Australian teams. A lot of the time these...

Seeing as the A-League season isn't even at the halfway point, how are those ratings calculated, year to date or projected forecast? Actually now that I think about it I would assume 2011 represents the 2010/11 season and 2012 represents 2011/12. In which case it doesn't even take into...

Deans go.

Yeah I suppose he never had to work at becoming one of the premier wingers in rugby league.....

The Deans era has coughed up some of the worst tripe in living memory.

True, there is little Ewen Mackenzie could have done about the outcome of this mornings game. But the team would never have been in such a dire position if he was coach in the first place. Deans just needs to go after this tour. The fact he has lingered so long is a blight on Australian rugby.

This is the beginning of a new era. Change was needed and finally change is what we will get. It's just unfortunate the timing was a bit off for landing Gallop.

Obviously all these injuries results in players who usually wouldn't be there getting game time. It means when we do finally get our best team on the park we should have some decent depth.

I think it's safe to say I've never been more embarrassed to be an Australian rugby supporter after the week that has just gone. I'd never thought I'd say it but this code has just about lost me.

It will be good to have Barnes sit out the next few games (aside from his goal kicking). I haven't heard about his injury but surely it's somewhat serious given the way he carried on last night. His kicking out of hand at times borders on atrocious and his decision making under pressure is not...

This will adversely affect the Reds 2013 season much like Quade's injury this year. It's a long road back to full health and then form from here.

In particular our national games. I struggle to see the value he brings to any match. Can someone help me out here? A team of Clarke and Kafe would be more than adequate.

Why do Channel 9 refuse to show this game live on GEM outside of Brisbane and Sydney? Potentially the biggest game of the Australian rugby calendar this year and it can't even make its way on to the secondary channel. Our code has problems.

Sorry if this has been answered already but is there going to be a third Bledisloe Cup match this year?

Haha my bad. I read the first guys post about him being stuck behind Pocock then made mine before reading yours.

What's the status of Hooper's current contract? Surely the Brumbies wouldn't have bothered chasing Pocock if Hooper has a few years to run... That bloke should be starting in his best position every week. The Rebels and Force would love him in their squad.
