I think it's worse than "poaching"... The Reds SHOULD be employer of choice and desired destination for 99% of kids coming out of QLD schools. But it appears we are not - and there is good reason for that. I could imagine quite a few parents of young players suggesting other teams (indeed other...

My criticism is that since 2014 we have gone: 2014 - 5 wins 2015 - 4 wins 2016 - 3 wins 2017 - 4 wins 2018 - 6 wins 2019 - likely 5 wins The results of the team under various coaches appointed by the QRU is sending the game in QLD, and contributing to it nationally, going to the wall. I went...

If the last two matches go on form, we will finish with 5 wins. Same amount as 2017 when Stiles was sacked. Reds coach selections will send the place broke

Wayne Smith article in the Oz says Reds have "game closers" ready to be signed and announced....

This is like asking if you want me or my older brother opening the bowling for Australia... one of us is no doubt better than the other, but that doesn't necessarily mean one of should have that role. The biggest problems for the Reds since Ewen has been the selection of HC. Those decisions...

Looks like we can put this thread into hibernation until the next election

The first article I saw mentioning the end of NRC was in the Australian. It mentioned that RA was talking to clubs about an Australian Club Comp that would commence after a "truncated" club season and involve the top 4 or 5 from sydney and bris and one or so from canberra, melb etc...

Another article today suggesting the NRC is gone. Becoming a familiar tune. As always RA is weeks behind the news cycle...

oh he does DISC and Myers Briggs and Emotional Intelligence competency.... i have suffered through this sh*t in my corporate life - pure pop psychology - looks like there is some real dysfunction in the ranks.

I report. You guess. Bo Hanson will "work with him (Thorn) and his Staff." "to work with Thorn, his assistants Jim McKay and Peter Ryan and and other key officials." "Bo is doing a really good job working with him and the coaching unit, just in terms of getting some coach development...

Reds have hired a 'sports profiler' to assist Thorn... Miller acknowledging Thorns many gaps in coaching skill but happy to re-sign him. i give up....

Wayne Smith in the Oz reporting that the Reds are proceeding at speed to re-sign Thorn. What a f$&king disaster. Jeff Miller doing it again.

Thorn no better than Graham or Stiles. Needs to go.

Rugbynutter, I posted a few weeks ago in the NRC thread about an article mentioning the likely shutting down of the NRC.

Hey ladies and gentlemen, Did anyone actually take notice of the bits in the reports where the largest contributor of broadcast money spoke and got their way? Doesn’t that tell you something about how much real clout RA and NZR have? Both unions need that SA money. Just like they need that 12...

Since the beginnings of professional rugby Oz and Nz have been living on other people’s money... namely SA’s via SANZAAR deals for Super Rugby and RC, and BILs tours. Australia needs other people’s money because it has failed to win market share, and NZ because it has always had peak market share but in...

Richard Graham Mk II Will we ever learn???

Courier Mail reporting Thorn to be signed to a new two year deal... smh!

Yep! Scotland ‘09

The game that kind of matches his hints had a this as part of its match review on GAGR: “I struggle to think of an occasion when I’ve seen a side with so much possession and so many attacking opportunities, against an opponent with no meaningful attack, lose with a miserly 8 points to show for...
