Couldn’t agree more re impact culture etc. It could be the reason why Force players have chosen not to join the Reds but 100% of Reds Scrums in the 75th minute were with reserves on including whole Front Row and 1 S/R change

Good depth added to the Brumbies outside back options. Utility Dargaville may get some time in the centres if a few men go down

Weeks & Stirzacker looking for a move overseas. Naivalu & Fou on track to be ready for RD 1. However Ainsley looks set to be out for first few rounds. Few more additions to the Rebels squad coming.

Underhill is a Menace. The lad is a quality long term 7 option + no lack of spark on the English bench. Gee whiz, interesting Eddie. Huge game needed from Front Row + Kerevi, expecting Foley & Beale to field a huge number of contestable kicks. England to apply the Northern hemisphere kick...

It won’t be difficult to predict what the Reds will bring in 2018 with Thorn and TT in charge. The roster put together also complements the style, IMO it will be a game plan around physically breaking teams down. They key to success next season though will be around set piece and game...

Foketi was impressive in this seasons ITM Cup. Bay of Plenty went all the way through to the GF before losing to Wellington in extra time but Lalakai was a regular starter alongside former Waratah Terrence Hepetema. They both had a very solid ITM campaign

I also disagree, IMO the Rebels will have one of the better scrummaging packs. The Reds will be vulnerable in 2018, NSW have been poor in recent seasons despite having the right pieces but the Brumbies with familiar combinations already established would be the pick of group. In saying that the...

Correct - One will return for the 2018 season after Japanese commitments

Inside Reds circles a number of players are looking elsewhere post 2018 season including Andrew Ready. Maybe Reds management did make a play for TPN with Moore gone and Mafi the only one left if Ready does move on.

Yes, Jordy Reid will depart the Rebels with that back issue getting the better of him. Such a shame after playing half the season with a fractured spine, huge effort with no reward. Steve Cummins as well is also set to depart after taking up a contract in the UK for 3 seasons. It’s also...

He has been struggling with it all season. All Blacks will look to give him some extended time off before ramping up preparations into the RWC. That will also be able to give a guy like Asofa some quality game time alongside Riccitelli

Hanigan will shift into the Super Rugby next season opening a BR spot. McCalman would be a great signing

It looks almost certain that the Reds will not pick up any players from the West. Ready, Frisby and Douglas currently recieving plenty of interest from Japanese clubs post 2018 season. Thats all it is at the moment, interest.

The Rebels will be confirming a lot more signings in weeks to come headlined by a couple current Wallabies. In regards to a Rebels captain IMO I think it will go to Will Genia (Wallabies vc + international veteran + game manager) ticks all the boxes with Hodge and probably Coleman (when he gets...

It seems they have lost out on Meakes, Rona and Coleman to the Rebels. Shambeckler Vui could possibly be on his way to the Brumbies but still without a home for 2018. Currently just hearing that a host of U20’s Gen Blue graduates have signed on for the 2018 season (contract lengths not 100%...

3. Dempsey 2. McMahon 1. Hodge

9. Genia 10. Foley 11. DHP 12. Hunt 13. Kuridrani 14. Hodge 15. Beale 21. Phipps 22. Kerevi 23. Koroibete Strongest backline probably available at the EOYT

Do you think Chieka will stick with Dempsey > Hanigan

After watching Brisbane City’s second half performance, I don’t see the Reds getting any better next season. Up 19-0 against club rugby standard players. Frisby, QC (Quade Cooper), Hunt played majority of the games minutes and to lose the way they did shows me the game controllers are still not delivering in...

He is currently without a contract in Japan, so it seems like Lucas may be the utility back the Reds will secure after Magnay declined to return to Queensland. It is very possible Magnay could be running out as a Sunwolf in 2018.
