Re Tui - at the very least and most generous surely the right conclusion would be that on the small number of minutes he played in Red it is impossible to objectively asses his value or form. For Super 18 rugby, he must at this time be classed as 'likely performance outcomes for Reds 2016...

It's always impressive how some posters know every detail of every 1st XV team, how long they've been at every school, and so forth. As a man of more limited knowledge, my job is solely to guide and assist onto an even higher plane the experts who speak with such conviction and certainty...

Geez Souths looked an exceptionally well-coached side in virtually every aspect of play. Their forwards-to-backs ensemble play was outstanding, as, btw, was their place kicking. The QRU could do a lot worse than look to their HC for future higher honours. And RTC Van the Man as Souths'...

L Turner off right here and now to Toulon on a short-term contract; apparently was told he was not likely to be offered a contract next year with the Reds...

Totally agree dru. I hope it's not escaped fellow posters attention that the Bled Wallaby squad announced yesterday has just 5/31 Reds players, 16%. 2 of these are departing for 2016, so our remaining % is down at 9.7. This maybe an all time low. Compare this to the Brums representation of...

Wayne Smith in The Australian reporting today that 'all indications' are that RG will retain his position when the HC decision is made 'in a week or two's time'. If so, no one should be surprised. This likelihood has been foreshadowed in multiple ways over the last 4-6 weeks, if not before...

Used to go regularly, taking a whole table. But I'm sadly resolved to spend not one more cent on the Reds/QRU (incl not renewing for 2016 multiple Ruby membership tickets) unless and until the QRU show that - good sense, a fan-focussed mindset (that is not merely lip service), quality of...

Re the last sentence, calm down, and no, not at all. Rather I remember you primarily as a Reds supporter in those past years.

Sadly, a major problem for Lucas I'm sure you'd agree was injuries. The poor bloke would just deliver a lovely, but brief, run of performances at 10, and he'd go down for longish periods, usually leg/ankle/knee related. He could thus never really consolidate his capabilities at 10 and build...

Dismal Pillock is I believe working on a 'new life plan post-2015' for R Graham especially as he sees some 'key synergies' in that process with the work he's similarly undertaking for Sir J Kirwan (with whom he has a close affinity). I believe Pillock's thinking in this important area could...

I could be over-parochial, but does anyone think as I do that, from the State that produced M Lynagh and QC (Quade Cooper), it's a fucking sad day that the QLD Reds no less are having to IMPORT FFS a full-time 10, and then on top of all that, perhaps an ex-AB.

daz, if I go back to c.2010-11 here, weren't you a then-local Force supporter that somehow also at that time supported the Reds in some way? The Rebels being your 'latest' fan incarnation?

I for one am totally mystified as to how a simple incident that lasts mere seconds and for which there is extensive video to examine over and over again in slo-mo and with magnifiers can possibly lead to a hearing that lasts so long or is so complex that it requires - incredulously - an...

gel, correct me if I am wrong, but was it not so that in fact one fan at a recent Reds game actually held up such a prominent sign in the crowd and Reds minders nearby asked, in fact insisted, that it was not displayed as it 'distracted from the game and was not appropriate'. I am sure this...

Just to add to that entirely appropriate post, one factor inciting us all to riot is the way the QRU has barely admitted concern or even acknowledgement that we the fans and members have had to endure two appallingly poor Reds seasons with a pathetic 28% w-l outcome and built largely (and sadly)...

Rather good observations. Link made clear from late 2012 or early 2013 that RG was given squad and recruitment planning for the Reds. From this HC's handiwork in such key tasks, this is where we have landed as 2016's season now beckons. However, at this Friday's Reds Gala Ball 'exciting...

gel, the other worry-invoking issue is just what this all means for the Reds commercially and financially into 2016 (coupled of course with just how the QRU's finances end up after 2015's lowered membership and $ gate income). RR's imagined team above, now minus QC (Quade Cooper) etc, is hardly a crowd...

What's taken you so long?
