It's not just the HC though - the make up of the coaching staff appears to be quite unbalanced. Obviously RG being sent away had an effect - but even with him there it still looks very different to other super rugby staff line ups. I would be disappointed to have Stiles leave as his work with...

You always brighten my mood.

These players are very, very bad. There is no sugar coating it.

"14,126" Hahahahahaha.

why are the Reds not supporting in numbers? So many promising moves killed off by isolation and no support. Watching the Chiefs simply (and I really mean that) exploiting breaks by having runners always there - not just one for the first offload, but another for the second and another for the...

From the Australian: '“It’s relative to how good they are,” O’Connor said. “They’re the best we’ve played. They exposed some deficiencies in our game and the intensity that they played at in the first half was hard to match.” Captain James Slipper bemoaned Queensland’s exasperating run of...

It's not just the coaching staff. They are not the ones kicking or passing the ball. There is something clearly very wrong with the players themselves. They are inept at the fundamentals of their chosen profession. The skill levels on display in the NRL by guys of the same age is an order of...

The attitudes they have out there!!!! It's like they were told Graham will be returning as coach or something.

Do Australian rugby players actually practice rugby? That's a serious question. I don't know how they can command such money when they are utterly so crapulent. This is not about good team vs bad team. The reds simply can't execute anything correctly. How is that possible?

Reds skills are abysmal. Men vs foetuses.

It all depends on what level of consulting these guys have given in the selection process. I imagine few of us know the mechanics of how this selection team operates, but the QRU have a long history of poor implementation of good ideas. I have no strong opinion of Matt O'Connor either way atm...

And he might not be. Anyhoo, the Australian article today indicated that Matt was in the lead after a strong interview.

I guess we'll have to just trust the three of you who actually went to the game. Oh wait, you didn't go. That makes it two spectators for a team that's leading the Oz comp.

I'm absolutely loving that the QRU are involving the ARU in this. All the franchises should be. it's the wallabies that ultimately benefit from good franchise coaching and Dan's statement in the Australian said as much. But it still depends on the level of involvement they have. If it's just...

No.

And then I read the front page article and it is even worse.

This thread is shocking.

That was a good match to watch, so long as you leave your wallabies jersey in the wardrobe. England have shown the ability to adapt and play what's on front of them - and execute it well. Australia came close (should have won the first and were crucial moments away from the third) and that...

Bit tough on Kerevi. I didn't think he was too bad in his matches. He offloaded quite a few times actually compared to others that have been kept in (ask Hooper how he feels about Kerevi's passing - he's been the recipient of quite a few when he has been out there on the wings). He's also...

I've read a couple of articles/comments/whatever suggesting that Hooper be the captain for the next match. Surely that option can't possibly be on the table. He is not a captain. And before anyone asks the onvious - the answer is "anyone else in the run on team".
