Lucas had his hands all over that no 10 jersey. The Red alternatives were both mentors which gave him a method of sliding into the role before expectations grew too hard. I dont see why he would displace Will Harrison in the same sort of apprentice role. Nor over Lolesio. And not over Deegan...

We need a new apprentice 10 in a hurry. Anyone come to mind?

Just spiffy.

How can they do this without paying his wages?

After I don't know how long we were finally seeming to put some effort into building a 10. There's been several attempts, one at least built a great player. But building a true 10 is different. There is the old adage when building a rugby team the first bloke you procure is #3. The second is...

If it crushes the mind-boggling self serving implosion of NSW rugby it works for me. But to be honest, QRU would be the last union that needs pulling into line. They're doing fine, the major problems are elsewhere.

I am so saddened for Aus rugby. Is Rodda at Brumbies just for 2020 or is it something more meaningful?

As a quick note - "stood down without pay" is surely not the same as "terminated".

Sad day for the Reds. Gotta ask what these guys were thinking.

No. It’s absolutely shrinking pro rugby. RA cant afford 4 franchises UNDER THE CURRENT OFFERING. And I agree, struggle with 3. But we have opportunity if we choose to chase it.

That is an interesting (and depressing) statement.

Completely on board with this. What a sensational result that would be.

I’d prefer two teams under the auspices of the WBs. Selections involving Rennie, but one coached by WB forward coach other by the back coach. Quality would be enough to satisfy NZ. Help start building WB combinations. As a lead in to internationals I think it would generate interest. I think...

Well, good riddance to Clyne anyway. Though I do feel we are in rugby groundhog day. I wish the best to McLennan, but I seriously want to see where he takes things.

Sorry RH, that was what I thought I was saying. However, I dont think we're going to get what we want.

Proponents of further shrink to greatness have yet to explain how it achieves anything other than kicking the can down the road. The broadcaster has shown that they don't highly value a sporting competition with little local content, teams not getting a regular home game season (due to...

Not specifically. It's reaction to selections past and a need to keep things balanced. We have been recommending (or some have) a player into the backrow who is not a noted jumper. Who then are the jumpers? All the new guys have the chance to make a claim. Hopefully including Wroght.

Ouch.

^^^This.

We do NOT want to enter another 4 year cycle with an unbalanced back row. We have good jumpers in the row, we need preferably two more in the back row. Those guys ALSO need to be balanced around the field. We can not take a new period following a balanced 7 in LFG must leave as two specialists...
