Good decision... If he has agreed to go elsewhere, then allow him to go. Allows the team to concentrate on what is ahead of them without concern for someone who will not have the same level of vested interest in the results.

Phew, crisis averted... Really not impressed by the way this was all handled. Very unprofessional.

Wait... What??? How the hell are the reds supposed to play the saders this week and remain on the ball??.?

I never said bench him and never said it was betrayal... I simply said he should be allowed to leave and I thought (and still think) that it would be better for the team psychologically if he did... Bemusing to read the comments leading up to the blues game calling for him to be benched due to...

The local Brisbane rag is also quoting genia saying he hasn't signed yet??? Wtf are the reds management doing making an official statement about it???

No spite on my part, I said as much earlier... I apologize if it has come across that way.

I would happily see him back as well, I don't harbour any ill feeling towards him, just think we should focus our energies on the future. If he stays and he performs brilliantly then I will be certainly thankful and happy to be proven wrong on what I have said here. But realistically I just...

I don't think he should be benched, I think he should be allowed to leave. Of course it is not ideal to change the team mid season, but the fact is it HAS changed. I have never seen a staff member do more than the adequate once they have made up their mind to leave their place of employment and...

Oh, and to whoever said we should get a kiwi half back... Poo to you with knobs on ;P (loved that phrase from blackadder :D ). If the purpose of having these other Australian teams is to expose as many Australian players to a higher level of rugby as possible (statistically coming from the two...

While maybe not reacting In quite the same manner as sunnyboy, I do think he has a valid point... I would rather field Frisby as much as possible for the balance of the season with Lucas at fly half until QC (Quade Cooper) gets back. Lucas is just destined to be a supersub by the looks of it (a curse for any...

Good game by the reds, blues just a shadow of what they were of recent times. A bit disappointed the reds didn't go for the bonus point at the end there though, surely a run down the sideline is a pretty minimal risk option - if you get tackled its more than likely to go into touch and it's the...

Rugby League - almost all of them fall back into their "The Footy Show" behaviour at quieter moments in any game... In yesterday's city vs country game, one of the commentators spent 5 minutes bringing up movies in which Tommy Lee Jones had chased someone/something. Wasn't funny or...

Thank you, that was exactly my point.

Australia's best natural athletes are most probably not playing rugby union as it is a relatively small game here. Sure, with conditioning and training we can maximize the power and strength of the (private school) boys into what we have, but the saffas an enzedders using the same training will...

1. Reds don't chase the kicks 2. Reds kick poorly 3. Genia is playing a particularly pedestrian sort of game reminiscent of Lloyd walker - i.e. time it takes to do something can be measured in glacial ages. Rest the guy for several games now please. 4. Reds have some serious mental impedance to...

I hope you're right.

Really????? Granted you know your team better than I would, but it isn't exactly like the reds are playing awesomely this season, and there is nothing to suggest that this is going to change suddenly. The players returning from injury are the players that were playing at the start of the...

REDS: Luke Morahan, Rod Davies, Anthony Fainga'a, Mike Harris, Digby Ioane, Quade Cooper, Will Genia; Scott Higginbotham, Beau Robinson, Radike Samo, James Horwill (capt), Rob Simmons, James Slipper, James Hanson, Ben Daley. Reserves: Saia Fainga'a, Greg Holmes, Adam Wallace-Harrison, Leroy...

Actually I would be more inclined to start with the two sevens in order to gain the possession stats (and hopefully points) and then bring on Samo to run at them after they are broken in the first half... The big issue still is that the way the stormers have been playing I don't think they...

I am disinclined to believe that Harris and Lucas will be in a state worthy of a full match which is sure to be of a supremely high intensity. As much as I would like to see the reds back to near full strength, I just can't see it happening and we will be playing (at best) the recent team with...
