Signing a winger will change nothing for the Reds.

Too early. Let's see him score a hat trick against the Wicks before he gets the call up. Or is that why he is getting called up?

Pfft. Strapping does not equate to injuries. It's a fashion statement for most. A security blanket for some. If you were to do a survey,most players that use strapping,have it from the first trial to the last game.

Couldn't agree more Big Arse. All that is coming out of these elite program are athletes,not footballers. The names you quote are all limited to being crash ballers. Which is great when they have 15kg's on their opponents. When will the penny drop that it is easier to turn a footballer into an...

Squash died because land values priced the courts out of business. Windsurfing was a recreational pursuit for 99% of participants. Instituting weight divisions is not innovative,FFS my father played in weight divisions over 50 years ago. As IS stated,Opens 3's and below are that in practice...

To be fair,not all talented youngsters handle the step up. Many of them were junior stars,because they had a physical advantage. When their advantage disappears in the pro ranks, they struggle.

Well,the Nigel nobodies is about colts 2 level isn't it? It's amazing seeing the gap between many Schoolboy stars,and "the Nigel's" disappear,when the advantages of better facilities and more training sessions evaporate. I saw a kid that never started in the 1's at School,turn a "former...

Jeesuz,there are some mismatches,with some of the names quoted here. Fringe 1st graders/national 20's players against Colts 2's players?

Is this actually a fact? Or is it just a rumour that was started on an Internet forum & has now become the truth?Show us a link or footage of him saying this or leave it in the rumour mill.

When some Schools have 9 grades,you don't need weight divisions. Any big fellas below the 4's or 5's are relatively harmless.

Let it go Charger. Even I can speak about Foley these days without foaming at the mouth.

I just don't get the sign JOC (James O'Connor) hypothesis. His plan is to play 1/2 a season in France. Grace the Reds with his presence,on his way to the World Cup,then change to 7's so he can chalk up an Olympic Games. Then back to France for the mega bucks. That is not someone who buys into the team mindset...

Which is basically the season. Maybe I am just too cynical?

I read that Josh Holmes as been signed as an "injury replacement" for the ranga. Is the Ranga hurt injured, or "Rugby League injured"(out of form & been replaced)?

It's all relative. I still have nightmares about losing 8 in a row. So from that perspective,we're going ok.

No,but it makes you a poor choice to sit next to,on the commute to work the following morning......

Please,tell me how it is possibly disrespectful to advise people,which kids might play in a Schoolboy trial? Or do you feel duped,in lining up at the tuckshop on behalf of the wrong people?

It's a Schoolboy trial! Do you really think that a) the opposition coach would recognise most of the names b) He would devise different tactics in this trial depending on their starting line up?

No scrum resets,just a short arm to the team feeding. Not straight lineout throws,short arm penalty.

I disagree. I can't recall him playing with the Tahs,but I would be gobsmacked if they were giving him the ball in traffic.He had tits for hands,but if the ball stuck,then the defence was in a lot of trouble. Since then he has spent years in Europe learning the game. You are not comparing apples...
