As a trio, I really liked the way that Shatz, Gill and Quirk worked. Probably one of the tightest units I have seen in quite a long time. Collectively soooo much more than the sum of their parts. I'm hoping that they continue on with that this season as it was such a joy to watch.

Most of those players listed were let go by the tahs as they did not feature in their plans. Put it however you want, the circumstantial evidence is circumstantially overwhelming, I tells ya!!!!

Its all circumstantial evidence - the best kind of evidence :D A bit silly suggest that I approach the reds - they wouldn't listen to a random off an internet forum (and lowly member) and you know that.

Where was that thinking with Foley when he signed intent to go to the rebels? Where is that thinking to have a first 15 fullback taken from one franchise (the reds) so he can "maybe" make the bench one day for that tahs? What is in it for the ARU to have one franchise allowed to rent out...

The ARU wouldn't help out with Higginbotham and he wasn't even a long shot league recruit - he had even already agreed to terms with the reds and was a valuable member of the team and expressed a strong desire to stay there. If he had been a tah, and the tahs had agreed to terms with him - the...

Other players wish to stay with the reds, and agree to terms with the reds on the reds salary but the ARU refuse to come to terms and they end up leaving. Same for all the other franchises. If the tahs want someone, the ARU will pay whatever the tahs want so that they get them. Money is NO...

Just corrected that for you. The ARU would not pay money for him to go anywhere else.

Or facts, and logic

Oh my.......

Obviously, but that had nothing to do with what I was saying. I should have made myself clearer before: how would you know what the content of the higher level discussions were, or who "went in to bat" and how much they did? As the coach of the Australian team, it is bleedingly obvious that he...

Thanks for the info. @No4918 - thanks heaps for clearing that up for me. - I was obviously mistaken.

I seem to recall they were available, but are you sure about last year though? I could have sworn that there was only the full season membership prior to the season start as I remember browsing their membership page thinking it was pretty ballsy. I could be wrong, my memory is not as good as...

How would you know how hard link went in to bat for Mowen? Or is this just your opinion based on what you feel must have happened?

But weren't the ticketed memberships the only ones available prior to the start of last season? If so, I wonder what percentage of the current number are ticketed ones.

A lot of very big question marks about the reds still, so I am still finding it hard to be optimistic at this time. Excited that it isn't long to go, though.

There have been a large number of such articles in the last year whereby the author writes an incredibly inflammatory article which inevitably leads to an unusually large number of replies. Of course to reply, you generally have sign up or something (like the smh and courier mail sites). Then...

Fardy, Pocock and Higgers (supposing they are all fit) would be my preference I think. *edit: pretty much what @Ruggo said whilst I made my cup of tea before hitting post :/

Oh, that post was deleted, carry on :)

I don't think that Manly and Uni will significantly alter their strategies based upon some anonymous postings on a rugby forum, so you should be safe.

Thanks for the info @fo!!ower.
