Yeah, QLD school, Year 12 last year.

Sadly, crowd looks very, very small.

Perese was crucial to Churchie's GPS Premiership win last year. Wonderful skills and strength. Country's coach - Jason Gilmore - was HC at Churchie last year as well.

^^^ Just to be clear from my vantage: I am not lacking in empathy or appreciation for the impact of his multiple injuries upon QC (Quade Cooper)'s post-2011 performances. I just think the issues in his play to me seem deeper than are explained solely by 'recovering from injuries'. Re 2013 - was he 'brought...

Everyone knows I 'love' QC (Quade Cooper), but, really, the hard truth is that something has gone very wrong for him, I suspect both mentally and physically. If we took his last say 10-15 Reds games, the resulting highlights reel would be a diminished shadow of the one posted here and elsewhere this week...

I've said it before: Link stated in early 2013 that he had then handed over most elements of Reds squad planning and recruitment to RG given that RG was to be HC from 2014, etc. What we have for 2016 in squad terms is the result of RG's capabilities and insights in this area. The probable...

It's been the case for years that McCall's printing company has the rights to and does print almost all Reds/QRU printed material including the Reds' game day programs. This is disclosed in the Annual Report's fine (very fine) print. So, he's been indirectly profiting from his Chairman's role...

T168 - few saw it this way, by the positive version of this truth was one of Jason Glimore's biggest contributions to Churchie's 1sts when he was HC, and such seems to have stuck within 2015's team culture.

The only plausible explanation for his success Reg ;).

Well fine, if that's our happy level of acceptance and low aspiration (for an Australian rugby elite sports team) whilst at the same time not as yet qualifying for the Olympics, heaven help us in Mens 7s. Given the far more demanding recent history of re-crafting our Womens 7s team, building...

He was by any standard a total flop, best that he departed, though the poor decision to appoint him will now have far less than optimal consequences this close to Rio 2016.

The moment we see that syndrome emerge in a top GPS team, either within one game or more persistently, is typically the moment we know its destiny lies in defeat.

Maybe. Whatever, if we end up with the Tahs and Reds organisations in varying states of commercial fragility and managerial chaos (though perhaps for different reasons), that state of affairs will not be good for Australian rugby.

No one mentioning it seems that Greg Harris - CEO for the Tahs since only March - has resigned from December, the end of his contract. Very short stay. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/opinion/only-two-states-developing-wallabies/story-e6frg7v6-1227495514871 That is odd, and concerning...

BBC showed terrific skills in 1H today. Their line speed (and its accuracy) in defence was outstanding, they forced many crucial knock ons and ball losses and turnovers by Churchie. They bought a gun to a gun fight and readily put Churchie off their game. Their exit kicking was excellent...

AhHmmm. There were many poor refs calls today, but, importantly, I think neither team got many more worse ones than the other to be fair. It was random and evenly distributed. Just to balance out the ledger, I was right plumb in line with two BBC line outs in 2H, on both occasions there were...

Thanks. So a de facto 3-way tie at this stage. Churchie v TSS will be huge. Can't wait.

Churchie not much better - numerous poor throws and scrappy line outs nearly cost them the game. ......and to be fair, BBC skilfully caused many of Churchie's line out problems.

Do we now have a 3-way top of table tie at this stage of comp?
