Yeah, for development of our backs, Queensland has been found lacking for a number of years now. Looking back to 2015 and 2016, these were our squad members: 2015 Anthony Fainga’a (re-signed) Chris Feauai-Sautia (re-signed) Samu Kerevi (new signing) Ben Tapuai (re-signed) Karmichael Hunt (new...

Cheers Dilly. While there might be something in what Marto is saying. In my books, he's the Donald Trump of Rugby. He tends to open his mouth, say something wrong and never gets pulled up on it. I don't doubt Quade deviated from the plans, but we've known that for years. Link even mentioned...

Are the Smith Brothers ineligible to be picked for the Wobs? I'm guessing so considering Faulkner has been picked and was shown up pretty badly about a month ago in Brisbane.

Got any more information on that BR? Interesting to hear it's raised, but first time I've read about it.

Hah, what a way to open yourself to a defamation claim. Perhaps the next Underbelly Series can draw inspiration from this saga so I can understand the entire drama?

Announcement from Sqwabba is on the Reds website; http://redsrugby.com.au/News/NewsArticles/tabid/581/ArticleID/18292/St-George-Queensland-Reds-assistant-coach-Paul-Carozza-to-return-to-pathway-programs.aspx Looking forward to seeing the QRU pick the new coach from the Premier Grade or NRC...

While Will would benefit any team, we've got three young halfbacks, all in my mind have shown promise. The money Will deserves and wants in my mind would be better spent on developing the outside backs to give Stewart better options. I would welcome Will back to the Reds with open arms, but I...

The 'stalwarts' are treated even worse Southern. One guy who's put in a massive shift with the QRU had to sue the organisation to get what they agreed out of them.

The Reds had over 1,320 super rugby minutes to get better for next season but they couldn't spare a fraction of that time in a dead rubber of a game where we were already winning and a man up to say thanks? We bitch and moan about player loyalty and how it doesn't exist, but here's a prime...

If women are able to keep their hair long, clean and tidy whilst looking professional, why can't men? After all, most of our female rugby stars have hair longer than Tate yet no coach asks them to cut it. As someone mentioned earlier, if Thorn had the guys playing well and winning, none of...

It's going to be a long off-season if we're already discussing players hair lengths before the last game.

Rocks for hands. Shame we can't swap the Brumbies for one Queenslander with another and get Banks back!

Weird that Moses is relegated to the Bench I thought he played pretty well last week?

After watching Brad lead the warm up last Friday night, I do wonder if he has a problem delegating? Previous HC's would oversee the warm up, but Brad was literally screaming "up" for each exercise on the pads. Was strange to see considering they have a S/C guy who's worked with the firebirds...

http://www.redsrugby.com.au/News/NewsArticles/tabid/581/ArticleID/17662/St-George-Queensland-Reds-re-sign-scrumhalf-Nick-Frisby-on-two-year-extension.aspx Frisby's contract runs out this year depending on how you read 'until 2019'. But, seeing as he signed in February 2017, it's probable that...

The same Grey system leaked 313 points at an international level last year with two occasions of 50+ points let in. A similar argument is said for the Reds this season. We saw glimpses/periods where the defence was good but then when you start to extrapolate over the season its just as leaky...

I think you're arguing about semantics here. While I see what you're referring to, I have a feeling Miller was backed into a corner with his question. While the journo didn't include it, I'm sure it would have been something along the lines of "how has Thorn performing in your eyes" or "how long...

In my opinion, he can't tout that he's concerned about their well being when the greatest threat to them isn't the drug use, it's their mental health. If he wants to be a role model to these guys, he needs to be more concerned about them feeling safe in coming to him when times are dark. It's...

Reading the comments Thorn made about Slippers issue just grinds me the wrong bloody way. For a guy who's concerned about his sons well beings, he probably needs to brush up on Suicide being the leading killer for boys/men. His sons + the 'young guys' he coaches have a greater chance of...

I don't think appointing Thorn was a terribly bad decision if he had the right support around him. He's got an inexperienced AC in Sqwabba and a total failure of a coach in Tony. If the QRU management were serious about using Thorn as the way forward, they needed to include someone with...
