Dan, I think that would be fabulous. Might even dial in to the broadcasts if they make it here. I wish the NZ rugby players sincerely the best through this period. I suspect you’ll have nothing crossing international boundaries as long as we do. Though if NZ “eradicate” policy works life...

Thought I’d add pointlessly in support of those fi ding the concept of Kearns as CEO more than distasteful. A lot Those suggesting there is something more to the hysteria attacks on Castle should expand. Or shut up.

This is so OT but ofc we’d notice. NSW/Vic would be paying even more than receiving (all other things being equal).

Completely, and the shareholders. OTOH they stand by RA who stood by the QANTAS corporate principals. As a rugby fan I like it. A lot.

Please make sure the hammer is equal on both sides of the matter.

And yet earlier you were unhappy with guarantee of finals games and home games? I dont have a problem at many levels with a "championship" style series.

Can we drop the IF thing again? It has never gone anywhere.

The NZ issue, that they have not apparently clicked onto, is what happens when Aus goes domestic and RSA looks to the North? That appetite from the fans might change as the competition limitations strike home. The AB criteria is not a matter of arrogance. It's about managing a level playing...

Well yes I was but to be fair, not all games in NZ need to be played to Aus timetable - there just needs to be enough games in suitable slots involving Aus teams to fill the broadcast cast schedule predictably. Having an early game in NZ isn't bad either which would probably suit NZ. Local NZ...

You are missing a few caveats here, Wam. The design of any pro or second tier game with or without the Kiwis must, no exceptions, meet Australian requirements. To level the playing field they need to change AB selection policy to select from any team/franchise in the comp, not restricted to...

Tough times for everyone in pro rugby. Best thoughts and wishes to all of them.

No need for any salt, more "tell someone who gives a" Haven't seen much talk here right now for TT. "What is good for NZ is good for Aus" has been BS for quite some time. At least for Super. SANZAAR may well survive through internationals and would be welcome but Super is surely a dodo.

Just on that one game, I thought Simmo was fabulous. So much potential and so young. But he wouldn't take the slot over Rodda. Definitely Finger over Mafi and Rocket over Speight. Strangely I find myself wanting Stewart over Ant. But most importantly the 2011 version had a habit of...

I hear you, and it seems a common position from many who have strong knowledge of the game. But I don't agree. For me the core of a 10 should be an ability to read and direct the game, excellence in passing (both sides), fabulous passing kick, and instinctiveness in attack. If this comes with...

Yep. Surely Super is now done and dusted in Australia.

It's done isn't it? If not, I want to know WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

How do I get hold of, or access to, historic Reds matches? Right now I’d love to be viewing 2008 to 2011, every single game. Binjing.

I very strongly agree with those first two points. I for one will never forget how he treated certain players when starting the role. Not ever. But the accountability there lies with QRU exec in place at the time, not Thorn. On your 4th point, well that also follows the accountability implied...

That is not good. Are we likely to get an update once they trace the source?

Right now, I’m comfortable to suggest there has been little value in Aldred. None actually, or worse we are more shite now than before his involvement. Outside that I’m pretty happy with the Reds coaching team. We need more from the line out, and mauls. But I’m the happiest I’ve been since 2012.
