I struggle to understand any team that was advised of the issue with some notice would not get medical advice immediately and then would say no finish the season with your Japanese team then get surgery we don't need you as much as they do. Happy to keep paying you even though it's been 18...

Actually many sporting organizations make money from having their team play in front of people prepared to buy tickets to watch them play. This is after all a pro team. With only eight home games I would think any chance to create support and generate revenue is worthy of a professional...

The problem with understated lead in, is it can create a lack of interest by media and in turn customers. "Flying under the radar" don't pay the bills.

Hard to understand why Reds have not got a pre season game scheduled other than inter squad trial. Is this a cost saving or tactical? Seems like an opportunity lost to make some revenue and get a hit out.

First game at Suncorp not till 2nd of March so maybe waiting till closer to game day to ramp up social media and ticket membership sales. Still reckon they could and should be actually advising status of revised squad though to the fans.

I'm thinking they didn't get anyone to volounteer as an intern this year to do social media.

That's four weeks away isn't it. All a bit sad really, With a Ceo that is suppose to be media savy are we discovering that the Coach hates doing press and has learned from former coach Wayne Bennett! mantra of "give em nothing"

In a commercial context I would have thought that if a player under contract was released/approved to play other competition a medical on return would or should be still required. If not in Smiths contract it should have been.

Smith might have him by a few years

Totally agree contracts need to be honored but no way would Auckland or anyone else in Super rugby pay full rate of Quades current contract so Aru Qru would have to and should pay the balance and release him. Doubt they will is my point unless they get out of paying, reckon it's one big shit...

I hope all the lads left in the squad take their chances and play well that said I have no issue with Stewart playing 10 and Paia'aua at 12. Tuttle at 9 Perese on wing is exciting but I think he may struggle against some NZ wingers particularly. I am not a huge fan of CFS, Kerevi or Nabuli but...

Without sounding like a broken record, checking the Reds website squad they announced a squad of 36 players, 14 of which are backs. Less Quade, Frisby and Hunt we now have 11 backs 3 of which are designated halfbacks. ( not including Frisby) is Tuttle the back up 10 now? Seriously we have no...

So Reg, any news on who was on the training paddock. With Hunt now out of consideration did we see a re think on Cooper or Frisby by coaches? With Premier rugby season still some time away, not sure how Quade can get back in team unless coaches change view. To start new year training down 3...

Thanks could be interesting to see who turns up to training that day.

When's Reds training start up again?

So did the sports drug testers turn up at KHunts house on Sunday? If sport in this country is serious about dealing with drugs thats what should have occurred. No need then to worry about circumstances and legal rulings. Test and be dealt with under international sports rulings. If no testing...

Did the QRU ever actually make a statement re Quade Cooper sacking? I personally think when a new coach sacks the encumbent players he needs to explain it better to the supporters and the board and management need to confirm they supported the decision. With Hunt now gone for a period of time...

Who ever decided to let the state chairman involved in interviews didn't want Kearns. Way too NSW focused for them to approve. Hope Castle does a great job. I would love to know the KPI's assigned to the role. Hopefully she places emphasis on growing participation rather than the whole show...
