From the other side he's apparently hard work to deal with. Has expectations on what should be done for him. Sounds like he needs a new manager.

I should point out that some of the ideas from the QRU are pretty good but they come at the expense of others that were better, in my view. I agree TD. Rugby in non traditional schools should be a major goal. The Ballymore Cup is a great concept and it would be wonderful if it was fully embraced.

If the video played longer you will see Palmer jump up and run around to his side and try a pull down the maul again and I think he gets penalised for it. He didn't seem to worry about it but it could have turned out quite bad if contact was make directly on the face.

But his role is CEO of the QRU not just the Reds. Do you think QLD rugby is in a better position than it was a few years ago? We had arguably the best talent development system in the country in place and now all the Development staff spend their time undertaking a Auskick want-to-be program...

Just realised that if the Reds win then it will be 4/4 against NZ teams this year. That would be a nice little stat to have in their favour. They'll need to be up for it though as the Blues will come out firing after having the week off.

Haven't seen Ready play, a least haven't watched him closely, so wouldn't want to make a call. I've been really impressed with Maile and how he dealt with playing Premier straight from school.

So Ready being away with the 20's will have a big impact on the Tigers. I think it's between him and Maile for an EPS spot at the Reds. Whoever is the starting 2 for the 20's probably has front running for the spot.

Having been involved with him when he was a school he is very much a confidence player. In the Blues game above he scored 3 really good tries and that's what I want to see from him. Even the last one he braces for the big hits as he goes to score the try, I don't see him doing that now. I'll let...

I don't dislike Davies I just expect more from him. He's lightning quick and that is something that you can't teach. And as you say he's scored 3 tries this year so it's not like he is hopeless. I would love for him to hit the form from 2011 but he hasn't hit those heights since he played his...

The ARU don't control the price of the jerseys, Kooga do. The have to get back their investment in the top end and jersey sales are how they do it.

Woodenspoon No love for Rasolea? I think he has a lot of promise. Probably more suited to 12 but can play 13. Holmes is probably a better long term option at 10 with SNK able to fill in at 10 or 15 from the bench.

How is he in good form? He has hands like feet and is a defensive liability. He is no doubt very quick but that is the extent of it. A couple of times on the weekend he caught the ball from kicks and dropped it as he was hit by the defenders, luckily from the Reds the ball went backwards. And...

Does anyone else think that Carmichael comes across as a bit of a twat with this statement. He might have done some good things as CEO of the QRU but he seems to have quite the ego. Surely he should have said unless the Reds release him or we as an organisation release him. I'm trying to work...

I agree p.Tah If they sold the kids jerseys at half the price of the adult ones then they would sell a heap of them.

He does seem a bit confused.

I'd be happy to have the same Reds team as they put out on Saturday night but I start Shipperley over Davies. I just don't think Rod is up to this level. I'd like the Reds to keep the attacking focus as I think it suits the players more and brings the crowd right into the game. It will be a...

I enjoyed the game and really liked the way the Reds went for tries. I'll admit that I'm a one eyed Reds supporter but I was impressed with the way the Brumbies went about their defensive effort. I am also coming around to thinking that Jessie Mogg in a gold 15 jersey wouldn't be a bad thing...

I don't think that the name should be changed. They have a long a proud history that you don't want to move away from. I think the issue with the crowds this year is related to the Lions. People have spent their rugby ticket budget on getting tickets to Lions matches and Lions events. It is...

Then you'd be looking to make sure games are on Mardi Gras night?

I like Horwill as Captain. He sets the tone for the team with his in your face style. It really sits well with the Reds as all of the players respect him. He is the heart and soul of the team. I also think that it works just as well at the Wallabies it's just that the relationship between him...
