It is. But that is also simplistic. An action can be professional and still be dubious or even reprehensible. Picone here has plenty of form. otoh Reds developing 10s is another area with form.

EDIT: Jimmy beat me to my first statement +1 JC.

I dont actually have a problem with bias, don't have an issue if he is biassed to Waratahs and Wallabies. It is the public persona + what seems to be lack of knowledge I have an issue with. If that is not the way he actually is, then there is surely a problem with his professionalism. Surely?

I know that the current world situation, Australian economy, rugby (non)plans etc all have an impact through this. But absolutely yes.

We've been struggling with 10 since Quade mk1. Reds really do need to get hold of a couple of talents with the possibility of progression. I had really liked what we were doing pre-COVID. This Picone needs to be dealt with. All the appearance of intentional maximisation of harm to the Reds...

This seems problematic to me. A bloke who is apparently not arrogant and pretty switched on "in person", who is also a professional presenter, should do better.

Haha! TBF though, BPA while not perfect managed much better than that. The big issues weren't until he was subbed off.

I actually think it's our D that is the kicker here. First time we met NSW in this comp their rush was (strangely and unexpectedly) impressive. Defense will win this match I think. And Reds rush was amazing agin Brumbies. Hold it together and we've got this.

Hey I wasn't trying to be aggressive, but yeah, now it's said you'll see it more... or call me out! :p

This just seems a weird comment to me. Stewart steps in to first receiver heaps - every single game. Paisami can't do what Stewart does at 12, and with JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 Stewart is a better mix by far. We also need to be building the next-gen 10. Whoever that is needs to take the 23 jumper to build...

The Reds need to win. Need to stake a claim. On form you'd have to call them favourites.

Right, right. So Mrs Rennie has friends who prefered Qld, and now the Rennies are doing the same... :)

Tally last 5 games. BTW good work!

It was not a BT decision as I recall. A group call. And the young bloke is doing OK.

Maybe. Personally I'd like a longer domestic comp and a short cross comp club shoot out.

Now you are back to opinion.

Now this is an argument I think with legs. Happy with a technical argument, less so when the argument is "boredom".

The funds one way or another have historically come from the Wallaby earnings. Add Super earnings thought they are net negative. NRC was funded via the broadcaster as a nominal net neutral to the clubs really. Where we are now though: a) A TT with 2 teams let alone 5 needs funding. Didnt seer...

Sure. They don't recently cancelled contracts either.

Personally I'd rather watch a competitive expansive entertaining team that misses by a bit, than a boring winning team. But probably we need to define boring. The Brumbies are not boring. Scrums are not boring. Mauls are not boring. They are rugby. Reds managed to kill a couple of Brumby...
