lets hope so. I just hope they are better than the last two high profile signings, Goramaru and Luke Jones. I wouldn't be upset to see Cairan Parker and Hoskins in Reds uniforms next year. I do have a soft spot for Simmons but would take Coleman if an Aussie wants to come home.

It seemed like a massive improvement, 10,12 and 13 all had time to do something, SA smothered us and we always seemed to be going backwards with no time to make decisions. Is this an indication of the defensive speed of the Boks v Pumas, a different interpretation of the off side line or could...

I have never seen him play, and dont follow NRL at all, but isnt the baggage with his mum?

Match fixing????? It was possibly the stupidest decision I have ever seen in rugby. 1 minute to go, you get 60 seconds to kick the penalty that will put you more than a converted try ahead and you don't take it. I am joking about the match fixing comment, but seriously, how can it be explained?

I understand how altitude works on the body, I just assumed that lung size would be proportional to body size, eg a small guy has smaller lung capacity than a bigger guy so they would access the same number of litres of oxygen per kg of body weight.

Can someone explain the issue with Skelton and altitude? I admit that I am pretty stupid but wouldn't a big mans heart and lungs be proportionately bigger than a smaller players heart and lungs? Wouldn't a bigger player be able to take in more oxygen than a smaller player because he has...

Now that we have two captains do they both get a loss against them, or is one the primary co-captain who gets the loss?

Utility player?

Maybe every kick will be a 50/22 attempt?

My memory may be fading, but wasn't Grey defensive coach for the Wallabies and when we got pommelled he said it was an easy fix, and he failed to fix it? Loved watching him play, but don't think he should be coaching the Reds, unless he can continue an association with the U20's and recruit...

I am so happy about this, there is nothing that brings me to the edge of my seat quicker than a new props first scrum. It is a joy to behold and if they win the contest it is awesome and makes my day. Good on Zane, hope he does himself proud. In the words of Buddha, Go you good thing!

I guess it depends on what was actually said, is he totally not wanting to think about absolutely anything Reds related or just major coaching things? My guess would be he wants to have his options open in case something else comes along post world cup.

I am a bit concerned given Reg's last post

I started looking for news about the match a couple of hours later, nothing on news.com.au, brisbanetimes.com.au or guardian.com.au I also thought the Roar may have something buy they only had an U20's report. I am glad I chose to watch the U20's, at least it was a competitive. Where does...

I paused it a few times and dont think he went out, I dont have the skills to break it down frame by frame but it looked like a try to me.

I may have misheard, but I am sure the referee said it was called by AI, I assume it was my mishearing AR for assistant referee or have we got artificial intelligence making lineout calls? It is a crazy delay until the decision is called whoever is calling it.

Anyone who watched him this season would realise he should be considered a realistic contender

I think Nonggorr will do ok if he gets a chance. I hope he makes his debut this week, it is always good to see someone make their debut, and it will be a good test for him.

Maybe they read my suggestions from a few years ago on how to make NRC work ;) I have long thought that having matches on the main field and an area with food trucks and micro-breweries trucks would be a great plan. I think you would get people through the gate who dont even want to watch the...

The stigma is the big issue, while most agree that you can recover, there are many people, possibly even team mates who don't understand mental health recovery and may feel he is a liability, or that he somehow gave up on the team.
