Not a great signing. They've jumped the gun. They should have waited to see how the NRC unfolds

I reckon the Kerevi selection is probably as much about emotion and attitude as it is form and ability. Yes it's true he's had a pretty great season, but more so I think Cheik is looking for him to bring out his natural love and joy and passion and fearless attitude. All year Kerevi has been a...

That's a very solid team by country. Even with no Thorn. Expect good things

Interesting story about Ready. On 3 separate occasions in the last 5 years (since he was 18) he was told by the Reds "Sorry, we don't rate you above xyz, we won't be offering you a deal/game time/training squad spot etc." The lad plugged away, worked his arse off initially in club land and...

Along with Probably Stef hunt and 1 or 2 others as well.

Apparently in wallabies camp Tom Robertson has been training a bit at loose head as this is where they believe he is best suited long term.

Reg the answer is no I don't for certain, but Fels plays club rugby like a champ and has taken contracts in France and NZ previously I believe so it seems to me he'd like to give rugby a go if offered the chance (which he should have been)

Also, Felsman has been robbed. Brad Lacey is a bullshit inclusion over him.

LMR while I agree with your sentiment in principle (and can confirm what you heard about Jack de Guigand) I think you could have chosen better examples... - Magnay played prem colts for GPS in his first year out of school. Couldn't crack prems because he was behind Samu Kerevi. Furthermore, he's...

Aumua and Toby white a two big centers so if Samu is away with the wallabies they should still be able to play the same game plan. Keen to see Hunt play 12 for an extended period

This is a fun watch. Mostly just a biopic but possibly some lessons from a side that turned things around in spectacular fashion after appointing a domestic coach.

Koroibete is a great signing for the Rebels I'll grant you that. Well done to all who made that happen. To be fair though I thought Nabuli was solid performer for the Reds this year and generally pretty consistent. With an NRC under his belt I think he'll get significantly better next year...

The other thing we know is that Quade likes QLD, so no not really unless something more concrete appears

You would think it's likely that Jack Tuttle will be in there with his brother. Houston could be BC or QC (Quade Cooper) it remains to be seen. Macca Jones will be involved for sure. Maybe guys like Vanzati and Aumua from Souths, Mitchell and Fines-luluwasa(?) from Sunnybank or Felsman from Bros? I suppose...

So who are the certainties in QC (Quade Cooper)'s best side? There is the Reds boys 1 Fa'agase 3 Thor 9 Tuttle 10 Mason 12 Paia'ua 13 Magnay Then there is the boys who started last year who have all had strong club seasons 2 Mafi 5 Potgieter 6 Mitchell 7 ?de Guigand or Jones? 8 Cornelsen Other guys that...

I know the Ready family a bit. I can say with confidence that at the current time he isn't stressed about Moore's arrival. His general attitude is that he believes he'll learn some stuff and that he probably won't lack for game time anyway because Moore is getting on.

So I heard from a person who is quite likely to know (close relationship with one of the selection committee) that the coach decision has been made and it is apparently not blackadder or MOC. The bastard wouldn't tell me specifically who won the race though. Not sure what to make of it.

On the positive side I was at the game and it was noticeable to me how much flatter Duncan played than Jake does. He's also faster and has better footwork. I thought he looked much more assured

That's the backline that I had hoped we would field as first choice when season 2016 got underway. Unfortunately due to injuries and some form drops (I.e To'omua, though that might have been related to the knee injury and TK) we have arrived here late and in less than ideal circumstances. That...

Based on the look of photos from today's training, the boys in green look to be more so first stingers and the orange more so reserves and squaddies. Notable ones for me are Lealiifano, To'omua, Kerevi and Kuridrani all in green. Naiyaravoro in green and Horwill and Simmons in green. Palu in...
