His knees ruined his speed around his mid 20s.

Rumour has it that the bolded statement isn't even true, so I fail to see Scrubber's agenda against him. There's plenty of bigger issues at the Reds than the complete non-issue that is Big Kev.

If the Reds don't nail Hunt and a big back row player, then their recruitment will look pretty poor. All they will have picked up is JOC (James O'Connor) for yet more talent bled and plenty of hot air in the press. They've been linked to and missed plenty of other team's players, a few of which of whom are...

More injury prone players? Maybe not the best choice to take a risk on, considering the current injury toll.

I think you will find that 11 = 3! There are 10 types of people in the world - those that understand binary and those that don't.

I don't agree with your physics obviously, but won't labour the point beyond this post. Suffice to say that a running motion, even though you are completely off the ground at times when running, is very different from being completely airborne and heading upwards, even if you are a little off...

I guess I was saying there reaches a point where the tackler cannot be responsible in any way for the outcome of the tackle. Was that true of the Greene tackle? From memory I don't think it was, but I would need to see it again to confirm. As to how the IRB citing commisioners handle it, who...

Isn't that a bit of a broad brush? You could generalise that to anyone you wish by finding some whining element, paricularly in News Ltd papers. Have a look at the trash the Daily Smellygraph posted about Origin in the last 9 years, including this one. Have a look at the amount of Reds...

To be honest, I find this post is a bit paranoid. Shock horror, supporters of a team are biased and can't see it from another biased supporter's view point. There's plenty of people from both sides of the border that look across the border down their noses with derision. Two of the major...

At least you guys had a 5 year plan, the Reds had nothing in the 2000s.

I don't have a replay on hand so I can't say whether I agree with him driving up or not, but your physics statement shows a lack of understanding of fundamental concepts. Basically, it is entirely incorrect. If I am running and I jump, and then my lower half hits a stationary object, then my...

I don't get why you think it's a big deal. Local pundit talks up the team and is completely wrong. Happened in Sydney with a lot of the Sydney press and the Tahs for the last 15 years plus. I guess you're enjoying some shadenfreude, but I'd suggest if you look in your own backyard you will...

BTW, we lost Moore because Moore had a falling out with a certain member of the Reds coaching staff.

Or in recent times, Weeks, McDuling, etc? Or even "unwanted" NSW players, Houston, Robinson, Turner? There are, of course, a lot more, but that's off the top of my head with a few seconds thought. You can go back further to, say, Valentine, or back further to Latham, or even further back to...

Actually, I see the Reds and Rebels in the same boat. Really questionable head coaches with poor game plans that are not only too conservative, but they don't fit their roster. I think the Rebels were a little better coached this year than the Reds, but their roster was less rounded and was...

I'm pretty sure that fans are happy to stick around in droves for a team regularly winning regular games and making the finals, but a team in the bottom third who wins under 1/3 of their games is just asking to lose the casual fan. I think that the Reds will lose plenty of memberships into next...

It was an improvement on the previous week for the Reds. And was probably in the top half of performances from the Reds' pack this year. Put it this way, it was miles ahead of the first game, where the Tahs pack blew the Reds away in everything but the lineout and the scrum (until Daley came...

In no sport or situation is a person who niggled a guy into doing an illegal deed punished like the person who did the deed. You get a punishment for each offence, as per the rule book. You niggle a person, he punches you in the head? Well, you may have asked for it, but he'll be the one in...

And the next thing, will you be complaining that sledging is bin territory too after a player takes a swing at a sledger? It's no different.

Sorry fatprop, but I have to call you on this one. What you said is a load of crap, and completely ignorant of the rules and spirit of rugby. Robinson had an otherwise legal cleanout but after the whistle. At worst a penalty, at best he could claim he didn't hear the whistle as Kepu was...
