    Rnd 8: Reds v Kings

    Really? I can't think of any other fullback that defuses bombs as well as Folau. Oppositions change their game plans just to take him out of the match (that's what's happening with his "form" drop imho). If you manage to have the opposition changing their game just to counter one of your own...

    I'm not too sure if some of you are being serious about cutting Duncan. He's been one of the very few highlights IMHO. He's also one of the few out there that can read a game (other than QC (Quade Cooper) and Hunt) - watch his movement off the ball - he's a footballer through and through.

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    And unfortunately for the Force, the Japanese team occupies a later timezone so the reality of the broadcasting situation (who pay the bills) means that they are in an awfully precarious position. It's awful.

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    This thread moves too quickly :( so I apologise if this has already been said......... It's a pretty sad state of affairs, but Kudos to whoever it was that negotiated the fewer teams/same Foxsports money going forward. That's a pretty decent outcome given what Foxsports could have easily...

    (not to argue with you either :P ), and yet each of those organisations reverted to type almost immediately that those individuals left. I would venture to suggest that those exceptional individuals succeeded despite the organisation structure and that nothing was really changed other than...

    A fair enough point. You may have been fortunate enough to witness quick organisation turnarounds in your life that leads you to the conclusion that rapid reversal of fortunes is possible. I haven't. It's always taken significant time and energy from my experiences (regardless of the quality...

    Reds 2017

    With a rookie coaching lineup, a completely incompetent organisation behind them, and a recent history of abject failure it would be folly to think that we would be anything other than competitive in our home games. Anything more would be a bonus (and bordering on the miraculous). I am a...

    Round 7 - Brumbies v Reds, GIO Stadium, Canberra Sat 8th Apr @ 7:45PM AEST

    It's difficult to tell what it is that true leaders have that allows them to say some things, whilst others cannot. Is it the body language? The eye contact (or movement)? The tone of voice? Or combinations of them, or something else? We're all human here (I presume), and have all experienced...

    I'm sorry if I offend and Kuridrani fans, but I am sort of at a loss as to why he is persisted with. He does not read the game well at all, and his handling is extremely suspect. Frisby's form is perplexing. He's got a good rugby brain, and has shown in the past that he has the skills, yet...

    Round 6: Highlanders v Rebels, Fri 31st Mar

    It's. Not. The. Coaches. FFS people - wake the fuck up! There's a myriad of coaches, from multiple backgrounds and with varying levels of experience, yet the skills and performance of the players in the Australian super rugby franchises is the same. Breaks get made and opportunities created...

    Round 5 - Jaguares v Reds, Jose Amalfitani Stadium, Sunday 26 March @ 7:40am AEST

    I've said previously, but I think we are getting ahead of ourselves to expect wins away from home. There're some awful habits that have to be broken. They're in the existing roster and the coaching staff and the organisation. Parachuting in super heroes is never a quick fix - I'm still...
