It is good to see grassroots/QPR coaches moving into Super Rugby ranks but I also wonder whether the Reds lost a good one in Tim Sampson who coached the Tuggeranong Vikings(Canberra) to the John Dent Cup in 2016, after taking Easts Bne to the 2015 Minor Premiership/GF and he was assistant at...

Great appointment for GPS as Matho is a quality human being. Let's see how the Gallopers go with a coach who understands the "GPS way"!!!!

They say life is cyclical well it wasn't that long ago that the finger was well and truly pointed at Sunnybank and now its the Eagles!!! I am not for one minute going to point my finger at Norths - but can someone who knows outline for us what has been the change at Norths which has seen them...

GWS is it confirmed that Shane Arnold will be at the Reds not GPS.

I hope that this is George Smith not Tim Smith - that would change some of the comments made in relation to this post!!!

Regardless of some of this toungue in cheek character assassination of Tim Smith he was probably the most consistent performer for Wests over the last 4/5 years when he was on the paddock and he is going to leave a hole at Sylvan Road in terms of experience if nothing else. His game management...

This is disappointing for Bulldog fans but it will take time to climb off the bottom of the table.

From a coaching point of view - I know Shane Arnold had been appointed as the GPS coach for 2017-18 but I am hearing that he may well be appointed as the Reds backs coach- can anyone confirm that? If so then will GPS need to find a new coach or could he do both?

Reg I have no doubt that we lose most of these guys because they get ahead of themselves - I doubt that Mason would have seen much time in the Reds next year and would be surprised if he finds his way to a Waratahs bench spot in 2017 but I would have liked seeing him develop his game in QPR...

Just back to the Mack Mason thread - my final thoughts are these: 1. I appreciate that the Reds can't keep everyone; 2. #10s take a long time to develop into Super Rugby quality - even Quade (who I think will be great in Super Rugby 2017) took time to develop at that level; 3. it is just a...

Great to see Michael Broad and Fletcher Dyson involved. I wish these guys all the best but I hope that they can make some changes to the playing group otherwise it could be a long 2017.

Easts might be stuffed without Mason given Brandon has also retired.

Someone told me that Mack Mason was headed to the Waratahs - a big loss to Qld rugby - why do Qld continue to lose quality players to other Aust Franchises at such tender years - Poecock, McMahon, Placid, Brad Wilkin, Harley Fox, Ben Meehan and now Mason.

What club's have a 7s presence this year?

I really think in 2014 the title was won up front with who at the time were club players in Sef, Ready, Paraka, Faeo, etc. in the final I think the try scorers were Penalty try from a scrum, Paraka(2), Ready, Gill picked up one off a dominant 5m scrum. Junior's try down the McLean stand sideline...

Reg I thought you could shed some light on this! I thought you would have been signed up for expert commentary.

Yes you never know what Wests players will end up at Crosby or St Lucia!!!!!

SX & Filth my predictions is very much tongue in cheek stuff just to start some dialogue. I am sure there is plenty of talks going on at present - I just think from a Wests perspective unless the coaching set up is settled it is difficult to work on your playing roster. It would be great to...

I am even going to state my 2017 top 4: Uni, Bros, Souths & Easts. With Uni to go 1 better in 2017.

Well done again to Brothers but does anyone have any 2017 insight? Sadly I think it is going to be difficult for the Bulldogs to drag themselves off the bottom of the ladder, so that leaves 8 to battle it out for 1st-8th!!!! I think the sides with the greatest capacity for variance of...
