Thought QLD Country desperately missed Carter Gordon. Week before he was outstanding with His kicking for territory, his cover defense and leading the packs around the ground. Don’t think Saifoloi should be the preferred option at 10 but who knows why Gordon was dropped or not picked.

Read that article. My conclusion. This is all on Picone, the agent/player must understand that the reds are hamstrung with starting point of 400k and they need to wait for rugby Australia to step into negotiations. Fk RA for stalling but Picone could of waited IMO. Anyways reds not talking...

Why did Anthony Mathison leave in the first place?

I'm very impressed with how both coaches are rotating the playing group thru all NRC Fixtures. There's been a couple of weekends where there's some head scratching omissions. But I have a feeling with a full weekend away travel required and these players having family weekend commitments...

Retract my comment about mass exodus. But whatever offseason that happened it did feel bigger then it actually was due to some of the names that made the move.

Look I like Jorge Petaia more than even you bobby sands... but messager needs to be shot. Let’s see him in a Wallabies jersey in the test arena before we go making statements like that. Maybe not the greatest centre ever but if he can stay healthy and loyal to super rugby he might go on to be...

Didn’t Picone do a mass relocation of his cattle from Yoku Rd to Chipsy Wood when Elia Tuqiri got the Souths coaching role? With Tuqiri out of the role and Dammers in at head coach. Wonder if Picone boys will be staying put?

^scrummaging not scrimmaging

Is someone retiring? Why would they be recruiting more front rowers when they’ve been the gold standard of scrimmaging for so long.

Heard any names?

Pretty good resume Schultz. Terrace First XV Queensland team (u18s) Brothers lifer Not a fan?

Wonder if Dammers will still coach BBC?

Unfortunately that’s not a reason to keep Cordingly The players are staying because of the coach and culture... nothing to do with the pencil pusher. I’m sure he is a nice bloke but his track record is abissmal and does not in anyway get my ring of endorsement... but that’s just me. I’m not a...

I don’t know about any players going from Wests to Norths. It may happen.. time will tell. Pat Byron position at BSHS might be a Boone for Norths rugby from a longer term perspective. Some real solid Colts from BSHS have come the last couple of years to Wests & turned into bonafide talents.

Ah yes that’s why I heard the name.. Sorry pls continue. Yes this would be a upgrade on the QPR names I suggested:

Sorry who? I’ve head the name just don’t know the resume? Is he a qpr player? (I don’t recall where from) if so not even the best halfback getting around in QPR. Least over on the qpr forum the hot names everyone talk about are Wall & Dillon.

I think Wests must have moved on from Pat Byron this offseason. I was just looking at the u19 NRC team lists and Pat has been named as Brisbane City coach. It’s worth noting he had Brisbane SHS next to his name while his assistant from 2019 at Wests (Daryl McNamara said he was aligned to...

I don’t know the kids name (it’s name withheld on rugbylink) Wests fullback. Very small and skinny but an absolute livewire... surprised not to see him names in either of the teams.

Off topic but maybe relevant for the Reds 2021 thread. Which schoolboy backrower is the kid to watch for next season whom might come into the reds frame?

I will say from limited viewing at club/NRC. level. McReight is the best ball running 7 I have seen in a long time. He moves like a inside centre. If he was 2 or 3 inches taller he’d be a international caliber #8. Wright is a wallaby so pretty self explanatory what he offers & why he needs to...
