The game you saw was average that’s for sure played by two teams that were struggling. Happens plenty of times in Super Rugby. But a club game in front of about 70 thousand explains the difference in comps pretty clearly from a finacial point of view.

Interesting to see which positions pay best, reading this hard to understand why we have a 7 under contract on 6 million for 5 years.

I was impressed with the performance of the Toowoomba A and B teams in under 14s in 2018. There is talent there and appeared to be well coached.

Yes we need a Director of Rugby on the payroll. Yes they should be mandated to run the HP dept. They should be in charge of coaching development programs, Player contracting issues and elite program development. Good the role should never have been axed. 3 person selection panel is only as good...

I find it very insulting when players are accused of disrespecting the wallabies jersey if they choose to sign overseas. One could easily argue the ARU are disrespecting the wallabies by using possible selection as an incentive to accept less money to stay.

No idea if Kafer can coach senior footballers, no track record but he isn’t hired to coach teams. I can confirm that I recently watched him coach for an hour some under 14 lads at the c2 k academy on Sunday morning focusing on running straight, drawing opposition and passing drills. He did a...

As a rugby tragic, I watch a lot of the English premiership. I hate to say it. But I prefer the English comp to super rugby. Good and great players and depth in talent across a competition that values all aspects of the game. Good commentary teams and venues that suit the game ie rectangular...

Maybe if Cheika had less time with the team at the last World Cup we could have won.

Is Richard Graham available? Seriously who cares who the replacement is. Change is needed now.

Foley at 12. Is Chieka being drug tested.

when will the Cheika nightmare end?

Catch a few of Lyon games. A better player than when he left. Lyon made the finals last year and Gill was a big part of the reason for it.

Liam Gill is an excellent footballer, a fine man and credit to his family, school, club and country. He was lied to about the coaching structure at the Reds with The QRU re appointing Richard Graham, the Aru favoured top up contracts to Hooper and Pocock over him. Rightly or wrongly ( I’m on the...

Core skills of all professional rugby union players. 1. Tackle, front on and sideways and both shoulders 2. Catch and pass 3. Pilfer when opportunity presents itself. 4. Think and understand the rules of the game. 5. Elite athlete fitness level. 6. Acceleration speed over 20 metres. 7. Clean...

Very Happy with new coaches set up for the Reds.

Picking an alternative squad to Cheika is fun but meaningless in the context that unless you control the game plan, substitutions and combinations you literally are just pulling names out. For Cheika to basically blame a lack of fan support for the team as a reason for failure is pathetic. He...

Watched Cheika on kick and chase tonight and he said that he didn’t talk any tactics at half time. So he didn’t tell them to revert to basics they just did it on their own. He also said they are good players they dont need him to tell them what to do. That will do me Chieka has become the self...

I shall watch with interest how many lads touring Europe with schoolboys will end up in European clubs over the coming years. With very limited pro contracts in Australia many of these lads willl need to relocate to Europe to join professional pathways. Not being sinicle just pointing out the...

Everyone fan and juorno watching the half time spray from Cheika, and the second half reversal automatically and rather simplisticly draw the conclusion that one lead to the other. Yet 2 quotes after the game by players, Foley “ ive had him for a while, so I have been on the end of a few of...

i really hope we beat Italy.
