That's great news for Australian rugby Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Lots of wealthy residents who already kick up a stink whenever there's a semi-decent crowd. And pragmatically, Ballymore and the other side of the creek are in two different (Labor held) but marginal electorates. Minister Lynham will have to think long and hard if he wants a bus interchange...

The Reds have had 10 coaches since Knuckles left and 8 have been duds. Jury is still out on Thorn, but there are very very few examples of guys with his experience succeeding. Why do the board keep appointing shit coaches? Don't have any expectations for success and enjoy the comedy. It's why...

Lots of other factors at play - but I had a look at this a couple of years ago and all teams have worse handling stats in Australia early in the season, Kiwi teams included. Games in Feb/March in Australia are usually hot, and at 8pm they are going to be humid (the infamous dew problem)...

Lucas still out? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Anither stat from the first week back Source is the Rugbystats app who use Opta I believe Handling errors Sunw v Brums - 55 Tahs v Stormers - 64 Rebs v Reds - 69 4 kiwi teams were 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th with no more than 22 errors each. (Chiefs let them down and of course Sharks had the...

Quade was given his marching orders well before Lance was on the books right? Thinks it's more that Thorn won't risk playing QC (Quade Cooper), and Jono was the only super rugby standard (at the moment) 10 available. So that's who he's playing Edit - same time as dru Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Over all his career as a player and a coach, how much backline defense will Thorn have been exposed too?

It was only a loss if you accept points as a legitimate measure of coaching success

Yeah - I think the way they have it setup at the moment if you don't plead guilty, you can't get the mitigation reduction in penalty

Lukhan Tui gone for three weeks as well, guilty of low end lifting tackle, reduced from 6 weeks by the juidicary

Yeah, I'm not getting great odds on it

Reds to get two more cards this week Kane Douglas for repeated infringements and Nabuli for tackle in the air

Standard of NRC increasing while our Super Rugby teams get worse?

Tahs had the half in the tram tracks and the hooker at receiver most of the time I think. Hooper rushing up from the back line next to Foley

As an aside - if someone like Higgers, who has been suspended multiple times over his career can still get a way with the "good record" mitigation, who wouldn't get away with it?

He pleaded guilty to a dangerous tackle (and not a shoulder charge) and it was found to be a mid-range which is 6 weeks and received half that for good behavior and the plea. There won't be an appeal

Judicial committee - Michael Heron QC (Quade Cooper), David Croft and Det Wet Barry. Bit of Reds representation/old team mate of Higgers on the judiciary

Higgers and Tui both cited and will front the judiciary
