Hahaha......... It is a scarily similar scenario what Sir John Kirwan dreampt up for himself a while back iirc.

Not a chance. I will happily switch to the rebels though. Rebels fans are the best fans.

He can't be involved with the QRU at any level. The emotional piggy bank is so far into the negative territory now that he would be a massive distraction if he were to ever walk the halls at Ballymore.

RG is such a poor coach that any wins he has recorded are little more than chance. If you look at the records of historically really bad teams/coaches their win percentages will be down at his level of success which is really just an indication of chance. As with all random chance events...

Rubbish.

Browning has been extremely underwhelming in his appearances so far. I would have preferred to keep Thomson around instead, even with the obvious extra cost. But then, why would he stay?

Hooper is a massive impediment to the wallaby (and probably waratah - dunno coz I don't watch enough of their matches) scrum. Everywhere else he is dynamic and makes a positive impact. Pocock is huge in every sense of the word.

truly baffling.

That's terrible.

Yeah, I still don't really understand what they were trying to drive home with that slogan. I don't think someone from a marketing background came up with that one. It sounds more like something from a middle management position. It's not a catchphrase at all. Just don't give it over to...

@RedsHappy, you know you will still buy into it. We all do. We are enablers :D

I am more surprised about this apparent propensity for players to want to break contracts and then expect someone else to pay for it or buy out the contract. I am struggling to rationalise it. Is it for real, or is it just a lot of media hogwash and content filler? Is it a recent thing due to...

We don't have to be in trouble at 10. Jake and Duncan could both be quite serviceable if they really put the hard work in. And I mean unbelievably hard work. Not every team has a cooper or cruden at 10. A solid go to game plan and very hard work and this reds squad may just be competitive...

I would prefer we mimicked the Crusaders. Consistently very, very good (but not necessarily always winning the title because that would just be ridiculous).

Why was he not in the U20s?

I dunno, Dan Carter's expression seems to indicate that he isn't too impressed with it.

I really don't think locks can just be switched around like everyone proposes. At least to my eyes, it always ends up with a dicked scrum. Both of these guys are 4s aren't they?

I would have preferred the primary hooker to be Hanson instead of Fainga'a. I have liked what the twins have brought to the reds in the past, but to my totally unresearched eye they seem to be rarely on the field these days. When they are on the field, they don't bring what they once did...

It is really difficult to be sure who did what specifically, but I imagine: The Attack coach gave attack instructions which would be both forwards and backs in anything related to attack? The Defence coach gave defence instructions which would be both forwards and backs in anything related...
