Anyone else concerned about what the Suncorp surface will be like after a concert in the rain tonight? I would imagine if a normal concert can ruin the surface then heavy rain could add to the damage.

Was that only at the end of his career? I once read that when he started out he was a very hard trainer, if everyone in the team ran 10 laps, he would run 11, if a goal kicker kicked 30 shots of practice, he would kick 31. His theory was that he would be fitter and have better skills that...

This will be an unpopular view, but I don't know if he is required for the team. It is unlikely that in 2024 with a new coach we will be competing for a title, best in Oz is something to strive for. I would be using younger players where possible, if the season is looking like a disaster we...

I seem to recall someone running it out in their own in goal after the siren and it causing an issue. I cant recall exactly but maybe it became a 5m scrum??? I think the commentators said if he kicked it out is would have ended the game. That being said, maybe it is a false memory

I only watched the second half, I tried to "watch from the start" on Stan at about 9.30pm and got half an ad then skipped to half time. Unfortunately this mean I missed pretty much all of the scoring. I also have issues with what to do with Vunivalu, I cant see how he can be a bench player...

I take it that this was a piece of paper with only the Tahs team written down? It is much better to have two pieces of paper, this way you can also consider the opposition ability when trying to determine who is the favourite.

As a Reds fan I say go for it. If I was a Tahs fan I would be pretty upset if he was the best option you have for a utility back, is recruiting that bad in NSW that there isn't a better option.

Is Kurtley Beale now available for a surprise return?

If he is still practising his goal kicking then he should start. I think taking 3 at every opportunity will be vital to our success. I think he won us a game with his boot last season with 100% success if memory serves me correctly.

So you can gift Eloff to the Reds? :)

My first date with my wife was to a football game, I offered to drive but she told me she would drive in case I wanted to have a few drinks. She soon knew that watching sport and having a drink was part of the deal. 24 years later and still going strong.

I am sure the Force fans will think this is being a sore loser. A good win with silky smooth skills on display in trail does not mean you will be great for the season, and equally a bad trial does not mean it will be a bad season but I think everyone from coaches, players and fans would feel a...

Is CH9 still having a free to air broadcast of a Super Rugby game each week? During the Reds trial the commentator said every super rugby game was "live and exclusive" on Stan. Does exclusive mean that it is no longer on CH9? I assume this may be a mistake as the commentators also said that...

Maybe Eddie Jones' impact on Australia continues, these utility players are meant to be important:)

I think the cost involved in attending live is what also hurts rugby, it is not cheap to attend especially with the current financial situation many are facing. I would imagine there are people who are now spending their rugby money on their house loans after increases due to rate rises. The...

It would be nonsensical to spend more money than is coming in year after year and think that it is a good business model. Unless you have a billionaire who is happy to throw away money each year then you need to try to stay within budget. Sitting below the salary cap is not great, but I would...

I guess one advantage of this is that once they prove they can produce the televised games they are able to go to any network or streaming company and sell off the game and keep consistent broadcasts.

I don't like the idea of poaching players while their team is still playing, but what I will hate more is if the Reds sit back on moral grounds and we miss out on top line players because other teams sign them up.

Given the developments in Melbourne this week, lets try to get Eloff to the Reds to help out with injuries and help ease their finances. Would Gordon also be someone they would sell to get money?
