"A lot of the games we've lost recently have been small margins, inside seven (points), so having a guy who can kick goals is important." Read more...

I disagree with some of what you say about Hunt.. His aerial skills last year were generally sub par (he spilled a number of up and unders , some of which were not seriously contested - but it appeared more to do with his positioning rather than the actual catching part - he seemed unsure of...

CFS played really, really badly. I keep hearing about how good he is, but everything I see him play he is just awful. He shows signs of what he could do, but just always undoes everything with silly stuff that just defy logic - and then he gets frustrated, hangs his head and shoulders charges...

There were no signs evident that the reds will be any different this year other than the (potential) quality of the players.

The reds seem ponderously slow on their own rucks. The defensive pattern is still the "scramble" type defence like it has been the last two years. And absolutely no protection whatsoever on their own rucks - Frisby is left exposed so often.

Is it serious that Gill is leaving the reds? If so, that is nothing but a tragedy. Gill is still so young and I would absolutely, unequivocally prefer to keep Gill for the next seven or so years over a guy like Gunn.

I wasn't referring to just the last five or six years (except for the rebels, of course). Good on Simmons for the captaincy.

Based on no evidence other than a gut feel, I think that Qld rugby has a setup conducive to producing talent, but there is something in the Reds setup that severely impedes the development of that talent. I think the brumbies have the best setup, and I think the tahs and now the rebels are also...

Thanks @dru. I actually needed that.

When RG had the dual responsibilities of head coach and defensive coach in 2014 the reds were terrible. Our defensive record in 2014 was worse than what it was in 2015. I think Stiles is a fantastic technical coach as the reds work around the set pieces has been really special. However the...

If it's legal and some sticky stuff stops just one ball in a hundred from being spilled, then that is one of the 1%ers that transforms losers into winners. But it's gotta be logically placed to be useful.

I saw one of the new jerseys in the shops yesterday. It's mildly interesting the asics r&d determined that ball security was optimised by putting the silicon strips over the rib cage (I guess assuming the ball being tucked under arm). BLK r&d have determined ball security is a centred between...

I didn't know that. That actually explains a lot.

160, so it's actually only that or a unit. Does this jersey have the silicon thingies and stuff on it? I haven't seen anything yet on what the million dollars development has gone into. (Same price for years now give or take a dollar or two)

Yeah, sorry about that. I read a couple of articles in the local press yesterday that were rather Richard Graham heavy and it got me so far down again. The Reds press of late has been very quiet on the Richard front, till yesterday.

What exactly is a pass mark for RG this coming season though? The expectations appear pretty low due to the players we have lost as well as quite a few of the players left are pretty green. So if we have a season with only 4 wins (equal to last year) then surely RG can’t be blamed because the...

I very much believe a large number of NRL guys have the fitness and pace to undertake a game of 7s. Modern NRL is almost 80minutes of beep test and apart from AFL it's unbelievable how these guys manage to just keep going and going and going whilst getting smashed. Rugby 15s is a very tough...

Agree to the first part with the exception that it could actually be worse - 0 wins in a season is a record Richard has yet to break so far in his "reign of error". Regarding the memberships, I don't think any of the franchises are publishing their memberships on their websites at the moment...
