If you like Jay, you should be listening to the 'Pillar to Post' podcast. While the boys (Jay, Dick and Darcy) cover the Wallabies and Reds, they love a yarn about QPR.

They could join the rest of Victoria who seem to be vacationing at Noosa. Plenty of spots on the coast both teams can train and then play at!

I never said you did. I said you recruited enough outside backs from the Force that losing Maddocks is not the end of the world. They didn't have to make a decision though. To'omua asked as he wanted to return to Aus to be eligible for the WC. Leicester obliged as there's no point keeping a...

The moaning coming out of some of you is a bit rich. Were you all telling Leicester to make To'omua honour his contract last year when they let him go home early to play the last couple of rounds with the Rebels? With how many blokes were brought over from the Force, you've got ample...

I think it's possible that we'll see James at first receiver a few times this year, whether it be as a sub or as him playing at 12. I would imagine he would be 3rd or 4th pick to start with 10 on his back, but could definitely cover the position mid game for any injury replacements.

Ah yes. The NSW Waratahs, the model Franchise team who sacrifices their success for the good of Australian rugby. The same NSW Waratahs who didn't follow the rest policy last year that every other team did.....

Show-n-go, there were a number of excellent locks who left the Western Force after their collapse. If NSW was serious about fixing their depth, why didn’t they bring any of them into the squad. This is also not a new area that NSW has suddenly had a short coming in. The organisation has had...

No, it's only in your best interest. The Reds have 5 blokes listed as Locks: Rodda, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Hockings, Blyth and Woods. The Waratahs also have 5 listed; Hanigan, Holloway, McCauley, Simmons and Staniforth. If LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) wants to head back down south, that's not a problem. But, if we do, I'd suggest we...

I'd also imagine, for the first 2 - 3 matches, due to the heat, you'd be picking either a 5-3 or 6-2 split to replace almost your entire forward pack to help with the impact the heat will have.

Ah, not too sure if that's the case and possibly mixed up? Brynley was the S&C coach last year (is stilled listed on the Reds site as S&C) and came from the Firebirds. I can't imagine he'd go back to the Firebirds.

The Reds (and other Australian teams) have always had hard working backrows. We had several seasons of Quirk, Gill and Schatz. All gifted athletes, all hard workers, but none of them could get us going forward. Where we've been let down for close to a decade is, having a backrow that is...

The 2020 season has the 2010 vibe written all over it in my eyes. A pass mark next year is win more games then we lose. Making the finals would be the cream and winning the comp, the absolute cherry.

Rugby AU released their review in the 2019 Wallabies; https://australia.rugby/news/2019/12/19/wallabies-review-2019 Unfortunately it's only the high level summary, but I guess it's a step forward that its even released.

JP's mother unfortunately passed away earlier this week, so I would imagine the Reds have rightly given him some time to be with his family in such a horrible time. Taniela looks to still be in Tongan having some much deserved R&R. Hopefully the big fella has been doing some beach runs so he...

Surely with all these long contracts being put in place, RA must have put some level of KPI's that need to be met which will allow for a mutual end to the contract and no further payout?

I would hope that with the Reds signing Malolua pre him being capped to Fiji, that we either get an exemption for him overall, or at least for his current contract with the Reds.

Stellar! https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/a-defence-housing-australia-fund-founded-by-phil-kearns-and-andrew-mehrtens-winds-up-20160401-gnw2dn.html

Get absolutely fucked. These faceless idiots should grow some balls and put their names out there if they were actually serious about replacing Castle. Otherwise I treat this as Journo's and Kearns drumming up shit.

Similar to the keep cups, I wouldn’t say no to a reusable beer holder that gets me a discount at Suncorp if I bring it with me.....

Hell is what I imagine SEQ and Northern NSW feels like for the last month.
