    Where is JON hiding?

    You make it sound like he is last man standing at Echo and doing all the heavy lifting alone. That's not the case. There are other NED's, the CFO still has his job. Only Paton has given his resignation (just a couple of days ago) and another will leave next year. Yes the casino industry has a...

    Quade telling it how it is

    It's not a good strategy IMO, but who knows what negotiations are going on behind closed doors. I think what someone inferred earlier about him not wanting to do wrong by the Reds who have "stuck by him" "allowed him to play" holds true. Talk/rumours/inklings of going elsewhere at this point of...

    Quade telling it how it is

    Lutton is also conveniently fence sitting and having a dollar each way..... It's a lazy piece and has zero value add or insight.

    Quade telling it how it is

    BR I know you're ranting and probably fed up with it all, so don't take this the wrong way but when I read the bolded part I couldn't stop laughing. How very true.....

    Quade telling it how it is

    Mate, Cooper is paid more than the PM.... There is an agreed process for dealing with grievances. 2.1 If a Player is of the opinion that he has a Dispute with the Rugby Body by which he is employed, the Player must first discuss the Dispute with the Team Manager or his nominee. If the...

    Quade telling it how it is

    An organisation is hardly going to commit that sort of resource intensive process only if there was a bunch of players/staff/etc making the same sort of allegations. It may well come to that, but right now its between the ARU and Cooper. Cooper (and RUPA) need to follow the collective...

    And a new reality show will follow, "Hangin' with Dr. Cooper"

    Quade telling it how it is

    And the funny thing is he was "lured" back to NZ by Deans to play for the Crusaders..... :)

    Quade telling it how it is

    Will the Wallabies camp do any media pre-test? No doubt the Saffa/rugby media will be banging in the door to get a comment from Deans and any player in the 22 this weekend. It's going to dominate the next few weeks and if the Wallabies lose to the Boks it will be amplified. Headlines will be...

    Quade telling it how it is

    Purely from a TV viewing perspective, Quade looked unbelievably uncomfortable and was lacking in that confidence we have seen from him before when he's on the mic either on this show or pre-game. He looked distressed even and was mumbling. Ironically it reminded me very much of that Danny...

    Quade telling it how it is

    "For all we know" he may not have raised it at up the chain of command and chose the public arena to air his concerns..... I'm struggling with this notion that Deans and other players have "accepted" the losses. The comments about the ABs play were just one of a number of comments made after...

    Quade telling it how it is

    No excuses from me. It was a difficult season and we didn't get the chocolates at the end. Reds last 20 was very good in that final. It is what it is. Back to Quade, I don't see an issue with the whole "expansive/risk rugby" comments, but the whole timing of his reaction/tweets were pretty...

    Quade telling it how it is

    But for every Giteau and Cooper there have been scores of "class" players without the publicised issues.

    Quade telling it how it is

    Just to clear something up, the earthquake happened on 22 Feb 2011, just days after round 1. Round 2 was forfeited. So a "slow start" after one game?? A game we lost by 2 points to the Blues in Auckland. I guess we dragged our feet for one game. But hey I'll let you spin however you want. You...

    Quade telling it how it is

    Oooh ooh I can play this game.... Why do all the Reds fans use strawman to defend Quades actions? Why do all the Brumbies fans argue adnauseum for an 'at solid at best' Pat McCabe to start? Paint everyone with the same brush it really is a great little game

    Quade telling it how it is

    Ummm the bloke had spent what 7 seasons at QLD, a new franchise came knocking on his door offering him captaincy, leadership and money, a new challenge, a pioneering role etc. Hardly selling out

    Plenty, but you may want to hit the ignore function on a few posters, their knight in shining armour routine is getting very old.

    Quade telling it how it is

    On the Wayne Bennett coaching also, can someone explain what happened with Newcastle this season? Were they not in the similar position of Pre-Wayne Dragons? Was it his coaching that wasn't up to it or was it the players?

    Quade telling it how it is

    Lets look at how SBW is able to "target" Quade. He was able to because the ABs were going forwards at a rate of knots for most of the game. It's a lot easier to dictate the play when doing so. Look at the times when the ABs were caught trying to play behind the gain line and SBW trying to attack...
