How's the Academy set up looking? Basically got packed up this year during COVID bar the development players and the coaches have moved on.

I know it’s not in an ideal position logistically for crowds , but have really enjoyed the last two QPR Grand Final days at Ballymore despite its poor condition , it’s a great place to watch rugby . With the average Reds crowd of 10-15K the atmosphere and experience would be so much better...

Great draw for the wallabies .

Some debate at least .......

If NRC goes ahead again next year great , if not an “A” Team comp running alongside the Super AU draw would provide great exposure. Would maybe also find fans being a little more invested in their franchise’s second team than what they would have been with NRC . Just a thought and aware it...

Which allows almost a second squad for the preseason trials . It’s a great opportunity for some of the young fellas coming through to get some game time at a higher level than they would otherwise would have got to experience. Have mentioned it on the Reds thread , but would love to see an “A”...

And rumours they are ......

Asiata would be worth a look and no doubt that’s why he has been in camp . But , how many hookers would they normally carry ? BPA and Mafi contracted and just announced the resigning of Nasser for another two years .

With regard to feeder teams into Super teams, thought it was interesting that the Reds was the only team not to have an "A" Team in the first half of the season before COVID. Brumbies , Rebels and Tahs all had second teams that played effectively as trials earlier in the year and gave quite a...

Three draws that we had a kick to win . We didn’t deserve to win last night , as many have mentioned plenty of dumb rugby on display , but in Wellington and the first game against the Pumas we were the better team . I’ll take the positive out of the six games that we played some shit footy ...

How good to be able to watch the Maori AB’s v Moana Pasifika game as a warm up for the Wallabies v Pumas. I’m going to miss rugby , lucky the Super Rugby season start isn’t too far away.

Interesting choice ? Heenan and Burrange are confirmed for 2021.

Agree Phoenix , I’ve spent the majority of my life living in Brisbane, but grew up in the country . I still identify more with the Qld Country jersey and love watching them stick it to the boys from the city even if it is in name only . Think as a brand/rivalry Country v City works quite well .

For me the correlation between success at Colts level and Prem grade would be more related to consistent Top 4 finishes in Colts 1&2 over a number of years rather than winning Colts in the odd year. One good year of Colts doesn't necessarily follow through into success in grades, where you...

Only saw him play against Jeeps when he got to start alongside his brother for the first time ever . He didn’t look out of place , but could tell he needed to add a fair bit of core strength to his young frame to compete against men , not unlike his brother really. As already mentioned , spent...

Sorry for offending you with my concerns about GPS only having two teams in Colts this year and not being competitive. For the record , Colts 1 finished the season in 8th position with one win over Norths . Colts 2 finished in 7th position . No Colts teams in 3/4/5’s

The best bit is that they are all good options . It’s almost Crusader like with a chance of Wallabies sitting on the bench . The backline and back row look stacked , just need something as a THP backup for TT and another genuine lock and we are sweet !

Yep , to the point he has been cut from the squad for 2021. Would imagine Thorn would have his reasons .

Sorry for not clarifying, Tevita played for UQ , not Chris .

With regards to Nasser’s opportunity at the Reds this year think it was more making something work out of what the COVID bubble and hooker injuries left them with rather than him being chosen over proven club players. Once they went into the bubble they couldn’t shoehorn another player in ...
