They seemed to pull the plug and reboot the broadcast in the UQ v Brothers game yesterday . The broadcast was terrible for about the first 20 minutes, then it all went blank for a bit like someone had turned the streaming off and once it came back on it was all fine. Happy to give them some...

It was a stinking hot day to be playing rugby. The conditions and it being the first game of the season probably fair reason for the turnovers. Both teams looked totally cooked come FT , think the UQ bench finished the game off stronger. Well done to both teams for what would have been a...

And big George back for Easts , thought he was with the Tahs and playing Shute Shield.

Yeah , thought he was a rusted on Jeeps man , obviously not . Certainly will make for a tough day at the office for UQ’s Alex Davies , a 19year old up against seasoned veteran who is best known for his scrummaging.

Wouldn’t place too much emphasis on who played where for UQ during trials. Quite a few of their regular Prems weren’t available during trials and as a result quite a few Colts players were up in Reggies/Prems. Similarly with the emphasis on how many 20 year olds you have in Colts , the better...

It’s a hard year to pick form , the preseason has been quite disrupted and a lot will depend on what clubs get Reds’ squad members back.

Defensively he has been good , which at mostly 13 is a fair complement. It’s his decision making in attack and ball security that are causing the soft errors that are the source of frustration in how he is performing. With Hunter’s form what it is , it’s a perfect time for Petaia to strip...

They would want a home final you would think . A win over the Brumbies guarantees it. Hopefully it’s as close to possible as our team come finals time .

Last night on the Stan post game review they mentioned the Reds v Brumbies game and venue TBA. Have the Reds returned to Brisbane?

Was good to see both Asiata and Nonggorr get some game time last night. Asiata got a fair chunk of time and the scrum didn’t miss a beat .

If not at the Reds , then where will he get his mentoring? He had a pretty good group around him last year at UQ and I could see the development in his game. There is plenty that just playing rugby against peers and older heads will teach him. People get caught up in the highlight reels, yes...

Was actually going to mention that in my post , Wayne definitely played the long game then, not so sure now ( sorry Newcastle) . He also moved on Gene Miles and tapped Alfie on the shoulder. Wayne thought he was going to be at the Broncos forever and managed the roster that way, always...

It’s an issue with a successful team . The starting spots are blocked by well and truely locked in talent who demand the bulk of your salary cap . The up and coming talent start to look elsewhere. Happened to the Reds in the mid to late 90’s , other franchises benefited from Qld’s next in...

Agree , don’t think many would have picked that starting backline for the Reds , but when you consider the bench it might just be the most flexible combination position wise the Reds have put on a rugby field . Multiple players being more than capable of playing multiple positions. It gives...

The QPR U20’s v Qld Country game for next Wednesday has been cancelled. Guessing the Country team would be keen to stay out of Brisbane. Not sure about Country’s proposed game against Wests’ First grade the following Saturday. Anyone from the Kennel heard?

Might pick up some new fans in Townsville seeing how poorly the Cowboys are going so far this season. And they have a shiny new stadium up there ready to go. #redstoregions

Understand you are passionate and feel slighted Rebel man , but not sure you are getting it . The game will go ahead as per the broadcast deal. That’s number one . Doesn’t matter how many COVID free days Victoria has , the issue is your government is more likely to close its borders ( red...

They stayed in Sydney rather than return to Brisbane, think they have at least half the brain required as per your statement. What happens next is outside my ( and assuming your ) pay grade. All I’m saying is they won’t take emotional arguments into consideration. Yes the Rebels deserve a...

Greater Brisbane a red zone now, different to last weekend. It will take some political wrestling to make it happen.

I genuinely hope the game goes ahead in Melbourne as planned and think the powers that be will make it happen . BUT , at the end of the day Stan/Nine will be the decider , in that they have paid for content and the game will go ahead , just a matter of where that is. I’m sure the rugby public...
