The collapse of the scrum was probably more dangerous than those knees ;)

Not to mention there's SFA to do in/around the ground after the game is finished. While Suncorp may not have the feel of Balleymore, it sure as hell means a great night can be had as you're not stuck in traffic, or crammed like sardines in those buses. Instead you can grab a pre-match feed in...

Sure, QC (Quade Cooper) at the Reds works well. BUT QC (Quade Cooper) at the Reds for the $ he wants is another story.

Seems to be a pretty common theme, young player picked by the Reds, doesn't deliver the goods, moves to a different environment and excels. If Thorn isn't able to have an impact with our youth then the Reds really need to revisit this development area because time and time again it fails them.

601 is probably not being sold as I'm guessing they're closed off the top tier. 301 has traditionally been the hardest section to get seats in because it's right behind the players bench/tunnel the players run out of. You could probably grab a gold ticket or silver, walk down the isle and...

Without taking anything away from KB (Kurtley Beale)'s tackle, what did CFS do to increase his chances of beating KB (Kurtley Beale)? There was no attempt at a fend, a drop of the shoulder or any fancy steps to offset KB (Kurtley Beale)'s balance and timing. I do wonder if what we're seeing of CFS stems from his time at schoolboy level...

How the hell is this search any different from the one last year? What an absolute shitfight on handling!

Forget about any of the players on the field, how can the QRU stand by after seeing how many fans were in the stands? They're now approaching 07/08 levels and it won't be long before their bottom dollar will dip into the red. So it makes you wonder, why are you holding onto the status quo...

I don't think "uncoachable" is the word Marto should have used, more "didn't want to play for Graham" is a better description. Look what Link was able to do in '10/'11 and Cheika did in '15. The coaches had the respect of the players and once that's gone, there's very little that can be done...

I understand why they might have opted for a deeper attacking structure, the Tahs are known for rushing up and pressuring the first and second receiver. So by stepping back a bit, you give a green fly half a bit more time to make a decision. However, I don't buy into that line of thinking. You...

What you just described there is the front rowers oldest trick in the book. If they're struggling with the pace of the game, a quick "oh my neck is stiff" gives you a 5 minute break. Not to mention, it gives your team a moment to regather any lost composure during the short break. I can't...

Dick was the skills coach of our national team for a couple of years wasn't he? So what's his excuse for the piss poor handling and passing in front of the man the Reds have? Just amazing that a skill set he's meant to have brought to an organisation is just woefully non existent.

Jesus, I can't say the any of the "leaders" on the field of the Reds should be anywhere near the C. There is absolutely no presence from a true leader out there organising the team.

The Reds knew well in advance that both Slipper and Douglas were by in large going to miss this Super Season. Alternatives could/should have been arranged in they were concerned about the pickle the injuries would put them in. As Slipper wasn't allowed to get surgery on his shoulders prior to...

I blame it on the Southerners corrupting him from ventures over the tweed. Look at other 'Qld' players, Sailor and Tuqiri were all clean until crossing over and playing in Blue ;) I'll forever be optimistic after 2012's "do you believe in miracles"

That's a bit similar to the big bad piracy figures that movie studios bring out on "lost sales". Would all 300 PGM's buy yearly Ruby or Platinum memberships or would only a small percentage? It was an easy enough argument for the Administration to make a couple years ago when membership was in...

Seems the original 4-eva-Reds members are still not happy: http://www.couriermail.com.au/business/brisbane-bizoid-martin-kriewaldt-slams-the-reds-for-having-no-moral-compass-over-seating/news-story/1bff939076bde29ecd780ed48c07ae39 I'm pasting it as I'm not too sure if people can view it...

The only hype going around is by the media and those wisest enough to realise Goro's market value. The next WC is where guys? Japan! The locals will start getting itchy feet about rugby in the coming years, they'll start following their star players closely which means they'll support the...

Plan B? Hunt or one of the other many young backs we have? It's a very small risk bringing in Goro if you ask me. Between him directly causing a new sponsor to sign, additional Japanese supporters and potentially teaching Greene and McIntyre how to kit at the sticks, I can't see how a dozen...

You'd have to think that the 'true' cost will be much lower. He's already brought with him a new sponsor + a number of new fans. Even if that was a modest $100k, if he could pass on any kicking tips to the younger fella's we'll have broken even! But hey, it sure as hell beats last years...
