But there are milestones that you can target for your team. They can be very powerful if used correctly in establishing confidence in the group. Sure they are meaningless in isolation but checking things off a list as a season progresses is a good way to build the groups belief. Reds 2011 were a...

Nah, it's still min $50. You need to buy a Genre pack and add the Sports Premium option.

Absolutely pumped for the game. Particularly keen for Magnay and Kotze at the Reds.

My son was lucky enough to run the ball onto the field in Townsville - wouldn't it be great to do a short commercial interviewing these kids and get a mash up of their responses? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This stuff seems so simple though, I can't for the life of me understand why it isn't done better. Social media is such a cheap way to promote your product - sharing video, marketing, information.... All the franchises and the ARU have people working in this space - as you've mentioned TOCC: a...

And largely irrelevant... The battle of the pigs will determine whoever is at 10 for the Reds goes. If there's no front foot ball, the Reds are toast. This is where Thomson is critical imo. Lineouts may present another challenge with Simmons off for the next few weeks at least. It will be an...

Does GaGR have a Superbru tipping pool?

That really needs to be the primary goal. The Reds iirc have had the highest home crowds in the comp for a few years now, and its critical that continues for the QRU to be financially successful. Suncorp's a great venue and crowds love winners, and a great home game experience. If that success...

Having watched the incidents a few times, I can accept the Wales defence. He was taken off after the first knock which looked pretty innocuous in terms of the impact - he was cleared to play on and did so. In the second incident, if you didn't see the replay where his right arm went limp it just...

No change in the total or just the club component? Apparently that was one of the reasons the QRU wanted to add the state fees because they thought the clubs were charging too much. Is be interested to know how a club can charge $219 for fees that exclude insurance. Perhaps there's significantly...

I will also say that I don't think price is a significant motivator for most parents as long as the club is flexible enough to manage the various needs of the demographics you cater for. I implemented a significant increase in fees because I thought we were far too cheap and the fees weren't...

We've got a huge variety in demographics. The weekly fee until this year has been $5. That goes to the sub-union and basically pays for all of the rugby programs that the sub-union manages - development, referees, medics and facility costs (the TDRU owns a central facility where most matches are...

Discounts applied for subsequent children, senior students, apprentices, etc. We also pay a weekly fee to play - this year that will increase by $2 (jnr) and $3 (snr) per week to cover the QRU state levy ($40 and $65). We run our subs at a budgeted small loss to the club, with the shortfall...

Isn't Simmons just being rested to give that shoulder time? I thought he's okay to play. Agree on Magnay, he's a talent. Only going to get better the more he plays at the highest level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are there any international development spots still available on the Reds roster? I'm not sure that A representation is enough to disqualify a player playing for another nation that he would otherwise be qualified to represent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jesus, that's horrific. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Townsville Rugby have done the same for its clubs, seeing as we haven't got the same support from our state body. It's at least given out clubs some breathing room to adjust and adapt for 2016 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Team announcement

Frisby has certainly been going well but Genia was the worlds best halfback for a bit there not long ago. Sure his form hasn't quite got back to that peak but he's had a few injuries since that breakout season in 2011. I think Frisby should get plenty of chances but you can't ditch a player of...

Are there normally four or five locks in a RWC squad? Agree with your view - if there are five spots it would be nice to see another specialist lock come in. I'm not a big fan of 6's being lock cover at test level.
