I think at the moment this is realistically the best third tier type comp that can be implemented at short notice and with minimal additional money spent. I see on here and the roar a range of opinions either criticising or trying to improve it but for where we are at in aus rugby at the moment...

Roar reporting that the Reds will announce Mason Gordon’s signing tomorrow

Got to think it would free up a fair bit of salary cap space if he left? Or was the majority of his salary RA top ups?

https://www.rugby.com.au/news/reds-backrower-turned-spring-tour-bolter-john-bryant-20241018 would be strange, especially with the tail end of this article that came out on Friday

Speaking of poking the bear…https://www.theroar.com.au/2024/10/09/exclusive-gloves-off-as-rebels-take-rugby-australia-to-federal-court-seek-30m-in-damages/

Looks like the reds have a new podcast out for those interested - Leaders within Qld Rugby. Haven’t listed to the first episode yet but Brett Robinson is their first guest.

Agree with with a lot of this. Also to be fair to the reds it’s being assumed here that with the expected departures the reds squad list will be finalised - there’s probably going to be a few picked up now with some cash being freed up, let’s just see where it stands a bit later in the year...

Just saw on LinkedIn the Reds have announced that JOC (James O'Connor) will be heading overseas

So talking purely about the backline and assuming the rumours and hearsay are all correct plus the confirmed departures: Out Petaia Grealy Creighton Annan Any I have missed? In Daugunu Anderson Pakeho Do you guys think we have much capacity/cap space for any more back line signings? Would...

Can’t read the article but is it just another newscorp stitch up?

Was it a night to forget? He doesn’t stand out in my (admittedly poor) memory as having a particularly bad game. Maybe one poor kick? Heck if we were judging on that basis none of our Super 9’s would have made it out of club rugby..

A big, physical 12 with plenty of skill, the sort of inside centre Aus could really do with.

Just finished watching on Stan, was a cracking game. What’s the go with the Wests 12, that Lebron fella - hopefully he gets some interest from a Super team (if he hasn’t already)..

One specific thing worth noting - how good was our attacking breakdown! Don’t think we got jackalled/conceded a holding on to the ball penalty once? Can’t remember the last time we did that. With the quality of the Argie back row that’s a massive effort.

Just realised that Suncorp selling out has also been done with the Brisbane Lions playing a game at the Gabba at virtually the same time. Pretty impressive effort all round.

This is all great Aratin but let’s try to stay on topic. Who does Supreme Lord Krishna think our best open side is with McReight injured?

Unfortunately can’t watch at the moment, curious how De Lutis is going?

Yep, article says 4 years which would presumably line up with that game

The media release alludes to over 20k tickets being sold and would be the best attended home game of the year so far.
