    Reds 2020

    +1; though I would make one change as above. We are here now though having invested two years in the guy, he is not the same proposition as he was in 2018. I completely understand the concern with hanging on bny the fingertips through what you call the dark ages. I just think this is not...

    Reds 2020

    Interesting speculation! I don't think we will see it though, barring possibly Hegarty to 10. Hope we stick with JOC (James O'Connor)/Lucas however.

    No disagreement from me, just a touch harsh pointing the finger solely at Thorn. And btw I'm OK with the Captain we have.

    From recollection Reds brought in a specialist and interviews involved a broader group. If we are going to blame Thorn the tar-and-feather should spread a bit further.

    The messiness and having little structure is a coaching thing for me.

    Reds 2020

    There is no way I would be dropping Campbell short of whatever rotation plans are in place. He will improve for sure but he is definite Super level right now. And we need to stick with the Lucas development plan. If he needs to be dropped we need to bring someone else into the plan. Either way...

    I might find it hard to run out kpi's for this. More or less I entered the Reds world from overseas on the Link and Quade rise to glory. My expectations, ultimately are high. But I've been brow beaten by a decade of incompetence at Reds and Reds HQ. Appointing Thorn was an error of...

    Look, I have had big expectations with Wessels and agree that he is not measuring up, but you are conflating issues here. Thorn was appointed prematurely and we have been watching and waiting for him to mature. AND he has. end.

    Wallabies 2020

    God damn. I have hated ARU/RA for so long. I'm hearing too much that I really like these days.

    Wallabies 2020

    I cant help thinking that Bernie would be much better placed at that time with a lot more relevant experience, I hope, and I would think should have if he is lucky, a CV that shits on Dan. This thing of anointing early internally does not work for me. We need coaching pathways from club to...

    Odd game with a couple of segments where some fans were starting to think about pride in the jersey - guess the recognised it with the response to extra time. The ruck seemed inappropriately officiated to me - inappropriate, not unfairly. Straight bat for sure. Reds need to adapt. Similar with...

    Bosch mentioned his missing kicking coach and he has to train alone - Brause van Strasse? (Sorry my Africaans is non existent). Whoever it is, can we get him?

    The ref "thank fuck for that. No-one suggest looking at anything. Game over." Sharks with a little extra exercise for their trip home.
