    RG is completely incompetent. That is a known. There are plenty if instances where coaches have been replaced during a season and in some cases it's worked out well - in others not so well. That is an unknown. The decision is simple - you take the chance in an interim coach (even if it's a...

    Why? *edit* just read the article. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/rugby-union/new-qru-boss-damien-frawley-wont-rush-decision-on-richard-graham/news-story/fb41fa6169c78110f951ede4238ee138 Interesting perspective. But wrong.

    If the rumour regarding Jim C comes true, I would imagine the financials to be presented at the AGM are not too good.

    Waratahs v Reds Rnd 1 2016

    Would have preferred to have Gunn run on. Won't make any difference to the end result though.

    RG is no more (or less) "ünlucky" than any other coach ever is. There are plenty of seasons of injury woe for any number coaches over their careers that have caused havoc for their plans, but their systems and preparations have allowed them to muddle their way through and maintain some results...

    The facts haven't been an obstacle for him before though. He'll just plow on through with his version of reality. The Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

    It's of his making. I don't think good players like being coached by poor coaches.

    I remarked earlier that he can't possibly fail this coming season. RG's past results have set a very low benchmark - he was reappointed with 3 wins. He has the "added bonus" of having a very "raw" team this year compared to the previous teams filled with developed talent. Therefore he can...

    RG was defence coach in 2013 and 2014 (some other guy was for 2015). The reds defence went from pretty decent to utterly diabolical in the space of one off season under what are presumably the same patterns. It can't be just the mixing of the head coach role with defence - particularly if...

    That's what I don't get. The Reds seem to be quite shrewd in some respects, tapping into various opportunities when they pop up - or even making the opportunity happen, but are blind to the damage being done by choosing to lose and play terrible rugby. Why not do all these other things AND try...

    Regarding whoever it was that was commenting on the reds standing too deep in attack, it is not surprising that we do (apologies to whoever mentioned it - I can't find the reference, sorry)...

    Pre Season '16: Reds v Brumbies

    The only positive is that the scrum and line out are still good. Everything else is substandard. Just get rid of RG now. Having no coach would be better and anyone that thinks differently is wrong.

    The two that were charged down had poor ruck defence as well - so not really entirely Frisby's fault. There should have been pillars standing around admiring the Ballymore grass when the saders came through to charge down.

    I like watching good rugby. The reds under Graham play rubbish rugby. I don't like watching rubbish rugby. It is bad. There are a number of players with potential in the reds, but they are not being developed properly because the coaching is a problem (possibly higher up as well, I have...
