With how much flying the Reds have done in a month, you've got to wonder how the big fella's legs are. They wouldn't have got home till Tuesday sometime and I can't imagine have been able to do much if any contact this week.

I don't think the blame is necessarily on Kerevi. Outside of defensive issues he showed improvement in his kicking game last season but needed to do more regarding his decision making. The blame should probably be shifted to those outside and inside Samu. Why weren't they doing more with the...

He's commentating for the BBC/part of a panel. Compare what the BBC have to what FoxSport dishes up to us;

Hah, goddamn, what a Trumpesque world we live in.

Dan I think you're on the right track and I would take it even further. There was a podcast I listened to where they're spoke to the head MLB (baseball) Umpire about decision making. These Umpires are well aware that they will make mistakes no matter how good they are, they're human beings. They...

Referee aside, the Reds lineout cost them field position at least 3 or 4 times that I can remember. So the Reds were easy to pick apart after a restart. Combine that with the stadium clearly not being legal size and the Jags can easily rely on their kicking and mauling game. Now, I would have...

Curious, do we have any stats on what the Argies are bringing to the table in viewers and crowd wise? That stadium looked like it had 10 - 13,000 people. How many eyeballs are they getting to justify being in the comp?

This type of attitude is what got us into this mess in the first place. A cash grab is short sighted and will not help the game grow. If RA takes a small hit, but are able to grow the game it'll leave room for a huge windfall for the '25 B&I Lions tours and possibly a WC in '27.

I agree with everything you've said Bobby. Taking everything aside on, if Raelene can get us over the line for a split FTA and Optus/Fox Deal, then god I hope they never let Kearns and his bandwagoners who touted the bullshit sentiments of "she never grew up or played rugby so what would she know."

It does make those who say it doesn't matter how old you are if you're good enough.

Well, if you look at the next decade, RA has the British and Irish Lions in 2025 and then possibly Australia hosting the 2027 RWC. Those two events should be quite appealing to broadcasters here.

Hunter deserves to start over CFS. So with Jordan busted, just move Hunter into 13, CFS to 23 and keep the same team as last week.

What exactly has CFS done to leapfrog into the starting team? I can see us easily being pinned in our own half for this game with a back three who can't kick.

Well, the Reds won there last year. But alas, I'm expecting the dirty fry up that I eat before the game will be the pinnacle of my Sunday morning.

I would have thought given his age, he's probably not going to be able to back up week in week out. BUT, his experience would be invaluable for the young back up props we have. Merely a thought.

We have of the top of my head three 'experienced' Queensland based hookers playing for other teams right now as well; Hanson, Ready and Tessmen (I acknowledge that Ready was cut from the Reds for issues). Would be great to have pinched Heath back from WA, unless he's getting quality time over...

The most ironic thing is, SBS and ABC have the best mobile streaming apps in the Australian FTA market. iView and onDemand are miles ahead of anything 9, 7 and 10 have put out. Hell, a lot of Australian TV's come pre-installed with iView and onDemand these days as well.

Nah mate. My fellow Gen-Y's (or are we millennials?) lap the reality tv shows up, to the point where I walk into the office to see organised betting on who's going to win the Bachelor/Bachelorette, Married at first sight, whatever cooking show is on. When we renovated our house, the Sparkie...

With the J League being owner by corporations, you play to the ceos ego. From their perspective imagine being the first Japanese team to beat the elite Kiwi and Australian Super Rugby teams.

I'm not that disappointed that the Saffers want to move north. As an Aussie fan (and from Fox Sports/broadcasters perspective), the time zones means no-one watches the games even if it includes an Aussie team. I have zero interest or reason to watch a SA vs SA team. Argentina would be best of...
