Thanks @RedsHappy. I had missed your post. There are so many posts by so many people each day it is very hard to read them all :(

Is the report/review handed over today?

Really? I get a couple a week during the season with links to members content (I fast forward through the Richard Graham bits). Outside of the season I get less, but I think it is usually about one a fortnight or something. Have you inadvertantly unsubscribed, or are they just finding...

Agreed. If it eventuates, that situation would be a very sad state of affairs.

Not every team has a Cooper or Foley running around as their flyhalf. I don't see a problem with the Reds committing to using Jake and Duncan so long as they invest a serious amount of time and energy into making them and the team work properly. Both of those guys need a massive amount of...

Maybe it is just a page view counter like in the 90s.

I just can't fathom making a statement about this right now and NOT making a statement about RG leaving. Even with this news, there is *still* more chance of Quade Cooper being signed for the Reds for next year than there is of Richard Graham ever being a decent head coach.

Young Jake and Duncan will need to seriously work unbelievably hard on all facets of their game to be ready for next year. Spare no expense on the coaching staff now, QRU. You will need it.

I would love someone like Rennie to come over, but I can't see that sort of recruitment being an open and transparent one at all. I am dubious about the decision making skills of the QRU board given their inability to make any decision with respect to Graham, so don't know how they will go...

Yeah, I get that impression as well. He's a Canterbury man through and through. His record is really top class as well. I'd still be wining and dining him as much as possible if I were in the reds though on the off chance he wants a change (it's sometimes surprising what comes up in...

I am a bit concerned by how Matt O'Connor departed Leinster. Crusader fans don't seem too enamored with Todd Blackadder, which is extremely harsh considering his record. I'd be giving every hint possible that we were very keen if I had a say in it (which I don't).

@Scrubber2050, are you more so concerned that we perhaps have not been getting our value for money with QC (Quade Cooper) given the amount of injuries since the end of 2011 and the inevitable time required afterwards to come back into form?

Indeed.

At this stage of his career and how he has started to play in the back end of this season Hunt appears to be almost the best pick for opposed training sessions actually. If we are accepting of picking front rowers to provide starch in scrum training, then it stands to reason to have similar...

3) The reds management are cognizant that they have to hire a high quality coach now and want it to be known that they hire people for the long term and exhaust every opportunity for that person's success.

I don't think it is unreasonable to expect some acknowledgement of the letter at least, if not necessarily an acknowledgement of all the contents. That's what PR departments do all the time. Acknowledge the situation (but not the problem itself) Lay down variables that can give rise to the...

His tenure is worth at least several psychological PhDs - not just on RG, but also his effect on the team and fans (and the rest of the organisation).

Sort of, yeah. It will take time to undo the damage that RG and co have done. When the pressure is applied or when they are tired, the reds will revert to what they know and for the last two seasons what they know is the way that Richard Graham has had them playing. When they are playing...

Foley is lightyears ahead of Cooper at 10 at the moment.
