wwb: As a Churchie parent with a rugby-playing (U16s) son, the whole family's just been rolling around in stitches after reading this. It's just gold, all of it. Posters here with your wit, insight and sense of well-intentioned fun, clearly based upon a love of this wonderful game, just give...

Re Placid: Given a number of the somewhat more 'subdued/cautious' comments above re JP's demonstrated skills and ability, I guess the other way of posing the question re his retention (or not) by the Reds is this: Whom of similar ilk, age, and probable back line position, would we preference...

The Rebels' perspective on recruiting J Placid: http://m.heraldsun.com.au/sport/rugby/melbourne-rebels-bolster-backline-stocks-for-2015-adding-rising-star-jonah-placid-to-squad/story-fnibc6qy-1226957145933

TK, JP is one of the most talented young backs - and a 15 at that - that I have recently seen anywhere in Australian junior rugby. When I first encountered him playing for TGS v Churchie (at that superb TGS main oval) at GPS 1st XV level I was blown away by what a stunning player he was then...

England are painfully learning what Aus has long known as a basis for their repetitive losing in NZ: the ABs are better at exploiting England's errors than England are at finishing off their own opportunities. It's the ancient rule.

Strong rumours in multiple media outlets that Dom Shipperley is off away. Does anyone know to where? Another once-sparkling player whose original talent has, for whatever reason, not developed in the recent Reds.

Some great points there Ruggo. The other factor I'd reference in terms of 'bigger picture' thinking wrt rugby's longer term interests in the very context you rightly raise is this: do people really think that Suncorp's status as a 'fortress' for both the Reds and Wallabies over a number of...

Scoey, your kindness is boundless! (Just a pity you faiil with any humility to note your repetitive earlier-on defences of RG and and the bevy of 'Likes' you'd give to like-minded posters. That's fine, just a balance-up would be nice is all). But, compared to what the likes of Gnostic and I...

1. I did not at any stage label persons here wilfully blind and/or naive that 'had an optimistic view of QLD rugby'. That's pure knowing distortion. I used these terms in relation a a poster whom IMO had seemingly ignored massive signs of truly appalling team preparation and technical coaching...

Great to have a coach that wants to think pro-actively as to how to add attractions to the rugby fan experience. Though I dread to think what listening to Deans on the coach mike would have been like ;).

Not a personal attack at all. If you hand out condescending advice as to the worth of another person's post, you may risking copping something back, is all. Mirror, look. And, further, I stand by my other point: the notion that somehow a state of affairs such that the Reds permit a continuing...
