Banks; Clear head, reasonably calm, involved in the play-making, makes good decisions (so far) and has a good overview of the proceedings @15. Joe and Slipper as deputies; Joe as it will help his developments and he is right there next to the ref as required. Slipper is the old wise head...

IMHO Stewart would be a poor buy. He is more suited to Fullback or maybe at best 12 as the Reds have discovered and a position we have several options available to cover. He certainly is not an option at 10. He unfortunately has been shifted around to find where they can best mitigate some of...

Can I ask what "tent" we should be bringing Forrest in to? The failing Super Rugby tent which would be something we wouldn't want to squander his resources on? His GRR that is still yet to become more than showcase games at a lower level so it's not exactly the bandwagon we want to jump on? Noting...

Bugger! You noticed him. He is showing all the right signs we just need to see how he copes at the big dance. Keep your eye on this one! ;)

He signed for 2020 but is off O/S during the offseason on a short term deal. https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/47542572

Biggest positive for me with McKellar for me is that he has been part of the local system, has good insight, understanding is is not only backing be being willing to use it. I am thrilled, albeit a little nervously, that we will be investing in some good young talent. As long as we are...

If I am correct, they won in 2009, there was the boilover upset 2 point loss 2010. McKellar then took over the team for 11/12 and won. Then Brad Harris took them to the 13/14 titles.

Yep! The only thing that has changed in his near 2 years at at helm is to workout how to use the squad he was gifted finally (similar to his Vikings success when he was gifted a multi-premiership winning team) - in an unusual year where the performance of most teams has also been all over the...

QC (Quade Cooper)?

My best guess would be JJH.

You can actually draw a comparison between the Brumbies and the Reds situation which IMHO goes some way to explain why, in addition to the poor Super Rugby format, why rugby is dying. The Reds suffered from unpopular decisions (in the supporters eyes) being imposed on a team by a group of faceless...

In Sydney only and only to niche group. A key indicator and harsh reality is the recent media coverage is about the usual politics around moving the final. Even that reporting is isolated to NSW.

I actually wonder at times if it is somewhat about us the supporters; but those answers tend to lead to a conclusion that it is the game not enabling the supporters. We don't talk about the game like AFL fans do. When I jumped in and Uber in Melbourne during the week my driver was a Cats fan...

Like many employers, although there may not be not be implicit provisions that spell out the exact do's and don'ts as its a complex issue that is subjective at times, there are policies and guidelines that he would be a aware of which are common place. For example over 150K of those people that...

There is no Commonwealth legislation enshrining a general right to freedom of expression. Article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) contains mandatory limitations on freedom of expression, and requires countries, subject to reservation/declaration, to...

IIRC, taking the Brumbies to the finals playing 10 is a feat that has thus far eluded Lilo.

We are playing a 12 at 10.

Thats the issue. Who's orchard? If the RA had an orchard they would be able to exclusively pick from it. So why are RA always last to pick?

Disagree with the shortage. Aussie rugby like to pick fruit, not grow the trees. We need to learn that as we have such limited opportunities some of our best fruit isn't here in Australia or still on the tree and need help being ripened. We also like to be lazy and settle on mediocrity (and...
