Quote in the Courier Mail about Douglas: "It also gives the Wallabies coach Michael Cheika another world class option in the tight five". You're feckin kidding me, aren't you? (I think it's called journalistic overreach)

I guess Peter Grant's confirmed signing today by the Force just contrasts what's been happening here, in terms of recruiting Super Rugby ready players?

The press release - RG's fingerprints all over it. He's hanging on. (No problem with young talent being developed though - all good, but not at the expense of some quality Super Rugby signings).

Zac Guildford. Export Gold ...

If a Letter of Intent was binding, I guess it would be called a Contract?

Indulge me moderators - if any of you Sydney boys want some free tickets to the Shute Shield finals (incl. the Grand Final), I've just posted on the SS thread where you can get some from my mates at Intrust Super.

My mates at Intrust Super have a limited number of Finals passes for the Shute Shield to give away incl. the Grand Final. You just have to message/DM the Intrust Super FB page, Twitter or Instagram accounts to snaffle them (that's their company social media site, not the Shute Shield one)...

I've never really rated Douglas. Solid for sure, but not a game changer. Can't see how he's any different (or superior) to Horwill, for example at international level. Noting he played 20 matches and injuries notwithstanding, the fact that he couldn't make it at Irish provincial level (which...

Different thread I guess (sorry Reg, Hugh, Cyclo et al) but I like Robbie Knock. He's got an 'old world' style about him. Sounds like he's commentating in the bleachers (in amongst the crowd) whilst running his op on the smell of an oily rag, not from the luxury of a salubrious press box...

Has that changed BJ? Still listed as a coach for 2015/16 on their website (according to my schoolboy French, under 'Le Staff').

In my view, Turinui would probably be a good appointment as a back's (Attack and Defensive) coach, sub the Head Coach, although from memory he wasn't much of a tackler himself. But he's a sharp dude whose been around and has great communication skills. Whether the committee or sub-committee...

The Wallabies have picked a scrummaging prop. Who'd have thought? Shame he hasn't got Big Kev pushing up his arse. Still, it's a tighter side with more workers and still solid defensively. Good rotation (for the unforced replacements).

Pity Quade's 'fiancé' lives in Sydney, albeit a lot closer than Dublin (or Toulon)!

24 hours is a long time in politics (and at the QRU) ...

Gnostic, you're from NSW. A committee/sub-committee member appointed as an independent? Sorry old boy, we don't do that @ the QRU.

I seriously think it's time to form a committee, or even a sub-committee, to determine the make-up of the new committee that selects the committee to recruit and appoint the General Manager, High Performance Unit. The General Manager, High Performance can then make recommendations to the...

If RG is re-appointed, the only way he'll be blasted out of his job will be via the non-performance (again) of the team in next year's Super Rugby season and/or by player revolt - delaying the inevitable at significant cost to Queensland rugby. I'd imagine many Reds' members will tear up their...

Maybe the Reds should also be looking at Kane Douglas's team-mate @ Leinster, Ben Te'o?

The RG reappointment and JOC (James O'Connor)/Non-Special K release story was coming out of club rugby last week. The Matt OConnor appointment was also doing the rounds. I guess the conjecture will continue until the board makes a decision. Reds Rugby will keep bleeding until that time, and maybe onwards...
