That's more like it. Looks like we're getting easy metres in their red zone, just need to keep the game up there.

He's not at Stan, he's the drua head commentator, does all their home games

I really don't think they care too much what sport it is, as long as it delivers the soft diplomacy results they're looking for.

This probably the area where things have really gone wrong: From: https://www.theroar.com.au/2023/05/24/analysis-the-three-tactical-paths-open-to-eddie-at-the-rwc-and-the-one-that-suits-his-cattle-best/ Obviously that's more about what went wrong than how it went wrong, but it's probably a...

I'm not sure what's worse, that Waugh was the best candidate we could get or that he was chosen above potentially better credentialled candidates, like some of the sports administrators initially linked with the role. I guess time will tell how he goes, but it is a pretty uninspiring...

Just a bit annoying that kick off for this is the exact same time as the Reds game. I realise there's not much room in the weekends schedule for it otherwise, but it is something that could've been better planned for. Hopefully in the future it'll be considered alongside the super scheduling, it...

The forwards are great individually, but they haven't gone so well as a unit, particularly at the lineout. It's a bit surprising given it's normally been pretty good under Parling, but the Rebels are 3rd worst in the comp this year for lineout success. A lot of it is probably down to throwing...

What was Sapsford thinking with that pass?

He'd be worth talking to but my understanding is Hoskins has said in the past he couldn't see himself playing for anyone but the Force back in Australia. Unless they're uninterested I can't see us getting a hold of him.

Eloff has another year left in his contract at the rebels. It's not an impossible get but I wouldn't describe it as achievable.

They do shape as opposite sides of the coin in a way that could see them compliment each other, but I think you'd want a very experienced 3rd coming in as DoR to sit over the top to guide and support them. Could be an option for someone looking for a steady ride towards retirement. Harlequins...

An experienced head coach at top flight club level yes, but an experienced international assistant not so much, unless they have been heavily involved in a successful club program. The problems you have to solve and the options available are very different at super level to test level, an coach...

Queensland country, some success with the stingrays when they were in QPR and some time as head coach in Japan - took the spears from div 2 to promotion. It's definitely not nothing, and certainly more than Thorn had, but my preference right now would be for an experienced club coach to guide...

Would be happy to have him involved, but I'd rather we signed him as an assistant under a more experienced head coach. Could be a good way of bringing in that Qld understanding and passion alongside a foreign coach like Deans.

Wouldn't mind the Reds having a chat to Jermaine Ainsley for next year, particularly if he pops up on the wallabies radar and there's a bit of assistance from RA. As far as I'm aware he's off contract and I can't imagine anyone is particularly happy at the highlanders these days.

That's probably best discussed in the 2024 thread: https://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/queensland-reds-2024.19409/

Alternating words - it's truly impressive cohesion

I think people underestimate the amount of turnover an U20s team has year on year compared to a senior team - the benefit of the ongoing U20s 6 nations in terms of player prep is mostly only the one season and a little bit from the last. This isn't really a different situation to what we saw...
