Another key indicator could be if all the dynasty gear is heavily discounted in the reds store.

they are called Agents. They have connections inside the industry. sure the highlight packages are up online for everyone to see… but ya think some Italian rugby club looking for a new qpr lock is just throwing out contract details in the comments of YouTube?

lol didn’t even know these guys had YouTube highlight packages… Harley Fox was with the reds? Guess we should fire Thorn for someone’s YouTube

Who are the other disappointing phenomenons on YouTube this club has signed?

there’s one player I know who was recruited on YouTube clips and that was Taniela Tupou… turned out pretty good… and think talentfinder is forgetting the role of Sam Cordingly

good on Rob Roiri… actually a lot of respect for him @The Whisperer. When his nephew left for East tigers this season, Rob still hung around as part of colts setup…. Hopefully Taine follows his Uncle down to Sunnybank.

interestingly I had heard one of the wests boys listed from those teams had picked up a super rugby contract (with a franchise not named the reds or rebels) I didn’t say that gentlemen’s name because I was waiting on the official announcement… I’m kind of glad I didn’t open my big mouth about...

How do they address this? I would like to see a over 30s discount at all clubs for returning players… let’s be honest most people are considering retirement when they hit 30 - but a player might decide not to hang it up if there is a incentive such as cheaper playing subs.

Also I am absolutely against Heenan simply being parachuted into the role. If we move on from Brad Thorn I want a proper interviewing process where as the best person is selected for role. we may very well move on from Brad & Heenan might be the guy but let’s make sure we do our due process...

lot of wallabies in that list. these players spend approx 6 months with reds and 6 months in national rugby setup.. is Cheika &/or Rennie getting the same criticism for these players development.

I think Thorn doing a good job and I expect him to get another contract extensionZ He will have his critics and some (like Phil + salty fox sports) will use this to try and have him replaced. where there is smoke there is fire, but look at Thorn track record. About 80-90% of his playing group...

It’s a valid point. The wallabies suck and the team is littered with the players from the nations best club brumbies… if we are going to keep losing let’s just stack the team with reds and warratahs so we can boost up tv viewership numbers

Every qpr club is represented in this list except the 2022 champion bulldogs… Should wests fans be worried about our colts program next season? Hopefully some more fresh out of school rebels mercenaries down at the kennel in 2023

No idea but this has definitely been a topic on back of mind… how Covid lockdowns, soaring energy costs and weaker foreign exchange rates might impact international recruitment of rugby players in Europe and Japan. don’t think it would make a dent in the lives of these clubs and players but you...

original poster edited his post.. think he was suggesting the colts coach everyone keeps talking about. personally I am not a fan of Dan Ritchie, hope it’s not him.

there’s a vacancy at Sunnybank. Fair to say Norths will continue on with Pat Byron. (Otherwise it would of been advertised)

The warratahs fixture is a bold move taking to Townsville… good on the reds. 2 decades that’s a gaurenteed sellout over at ballymore but attendance is down for the reds. Let’s give north qld a chance to represent the grudge match rivalry vs NSW

Regarding Angelo try tally. GF: 1 SF: 2 vs South’s: 1 @ Norths: 2 6 tries in the last 4 games. Pretty close. Commentator must of slip of a tongue or I wasn’t listening properly.. Anyways he did finish the season very strong. Took his opportunity by the horns & is making the most of it -...

Just saw a tweet of the players involved looks like the 9 might of been CCJ Cullin Cooper-Jones. He is in the rebels academy and plays down wests. also spotted wests bulldog Angelo Smith In the rebels colours. Has been on fire in QPR. Commentator mentioned in grand final he had scored 7 tries...

Might be time for the 2023 qldpremierrugby thread.
