Do not under any circumstances keep Richard on further than this point in time. Make Stiles interim head coach (or anyone else that is not Graham for that matter). This is not a concept that is hard to understand or something that has not been done before. The reds need to stop playing...

The reds still lack a basic structure to fall back on when things go wrong - so every mistake is going to be very costly until that changes. There seems to be a constant need to kick the ball with the reds, so I can only imagine they are practising this a lot at training. I think they need...

I have been a to a multitude of grounds across a multitude of countries and across a multitude of sports and if there is one common theme it is the home crowd berating the referee/umpire whenever he/she makes a decision against the local team. I really wish people would stop being fucking...

it is not RG's fault anymore. The board and CEO made a mistake in hiring him but they have had ample opportunity to correct that mistake (end of last year being the prime time to cut him loose - only the truly stupid would think he could improve. To be honest, it feels like these private...

If even half of what is reported on here about staff is true, then the Reds entire management structure needs a proper shake up - not just the coach (he may be at the heart of the issues, but definitely is not at the root of it all).

Bugger.

I want them to win. I'll be cheering for them to win. Because I am hopeful. But they won't win. I am also realistic. Canes to win by >25. There needs to be a major shift in the players attitudes from this point forwards. Sure the game plan might be daft, or broken, or non existent (I have...

^^^^ If the gameplan is "hope the opposition don't play well so we win", then I don't think that is doing anything for the team at all. The tactic was to obtain field position through lots of kicking and that is fine - but I would then prefer that our kicking and chasing was more meaningful...

I am hesitant to criticise a plan that was ultimately successful, however I struggled to come to grips with a gameplay that gave as much possession as possible to a team that is known for consistently scoring a lot of points, whilst our own team has an abominable defensive record (and arguably...

My mistake, so he did. I can't figure it out because there are a lot of guys touted as being a "star" that aren't really, to be honest (that's not to say that they aren't really good - it's just maybe my definition of star is closer to that of @Qwerty's)

Better not be Liam Gill. He is the future captain of the reds without a shadow of a doubt.

Actually that centre pairing haven't really had a lot of game time together and the winger and fullback also haven't played much together and the locks have not played together all season - If we lose, I think RG can just trot those ones out along with a liberal use of "lacking physicality"...

It's the headline that ticked me off. I don't think the bulls did anything that I wouldn't have done. I just hate that the team I love does not belong in super rugby and that other teams can take it as easy as they please knowing that they will still win.

Is it possible that RG is one of these "coach by the numbers" sort of guys? I.E. Thinks that if you have greater than x number of line breaks and less than y number of tackles missed etc etc then you should win the match because these are the numbers that the All Blacks (or insert successful...

Also, Lachie Turner's penalty kick for touch was caught by the Bulls winger with his foot over the side line. There is no reason for that stuff to happen.

I'll bite. He put in one shitty grubber and one good grubber which was not well chased - there is a difference. And then he stopped doing them because they weren't working - good on him. The bulls did not kick to him - they kicked to the wings. Is he supposed to compete with Turner for the...

Yes, there were a lot of kicks that didn't find grass and others that were poorly chased. I am not certain if the reds are actually practicing them (or anything at all, to be honest). RE the box kick - I am struggling to recall it now, but I seem to recall the one that went dead in goal...

Liam Gill had another really good game I thought. Genia needs to stop the box kicking - he is just really bad at them most of the time and his good ones do not balnace out the really bad ones in between. Good to see us get some tries on the board at last. It's a shame it seems to only come in...

I think the 3/10 was actually a bit harsh. His net position for the match was definietly a minus - he did a couple of shitty grubbers in the first half one of which ended up gifting the opposition a try, but once he figured out they weren't working he stopped and started to run with the ball...

If Ella gets his way - it will be the dawn of a new age for the tahs: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/opinion/ben-mccalman-needs-to-play-for-waratahs-for-sake-of-wallabies/story-e6frg7po-1227299240155 TLDR: The ARU should make it such that the Tahs (and Reds) have the best players, the...
