Apart from Ruggo, any other Reds' supporters trekking down to Canberra this weekend? All the way from Darwin, Ruggo, I'm impressed.
I was in Canberra on business last week and came across some depressing news: it's rumoured its best brew-pub, the Wig & Pen in Civic, is going to close. I heard some time ago it was up for sale but closing, that's devastating! Some of the brews Lachie McOmish puts out are to die for. The Russian Imperial Stout appears every winter (next brew due on 1 July I was told) and, although expensive, it's worth a trip to Canberra on its own. And my tongue rejoiced when it got stuck into a Big Brown Beaver last trip. Never had a bad drop at this place.
Rugby supporters, do your bit to support this august institution.

Lindommer, one must remember that one could be sharing this thread with members from North America, where "And my tongue rejoiced when it got stuck into a Big Brown Beaver last trip" has a totally different meaning to the one intended, (and I'm not referring to the animal with big teeth)!!!

Any struggles after the head knock = time off. Despite the popular misconception, neurosurgery isn't exactly rocket science, or even ..... brain surgery.

RB Certainly agree that Coleman has been solid, whilst I love the Reds I would have to agree that in terms of consistency you would have to go Coleman and I would say that he is better now.
Having said that though CFS has X Factor and as you point out, once CFS is given time to develop (more his knowledge of the game rather than physically coz his legs are huge) then he will surpass most if not all the players in front of him.
I actually see CFS as an Outside Centre once he develops his knowledge of pro defensive systems until then Wing will be his position with a license to roam. Mind you I would only expect 1 or 2 more appearances from CFS this year. Much like Gill in slowly transitioning him into senior rugby over the past 2 years.
As for Slims comparison CFS to Kuridrani you would have to ask if Kuridrani was better why was he not contracted to the Reds senior team. Link has been extremely consistent at identifying talent then recruiting them into his program (both at Waratahs and Reds). I am sure if Link thought more highly of Kuridrani then he would still be in QLD.

Steve Walsh will be fine... they all make mistakes... they all make good calls... he just needs to focus and get his Video ref making good calls... and watching Quade Coopers many forward passes....

They've given him time off... no contact at training....
...... he'll play 40 minutes.... he wants a GOLD jersey...

Coops throws more forward passes than Brett Farve per game...

It’s possible the player he is passing to is offside... I'm hoping he's back to his best doing cross field kicks behind his own try line… What was his tackle count last week? It was 0 zip zero zilchski...

this is the important thing, not making a tackle does not matter, it is if you miss tackles that an issue arrises

Maybe, but they've only named 10 backs. If one back was omitted it would have to be for an extra forward and a 5-2 bench. Normally Link would want the versatility of Lucas in the side in that case... although, I suppose Harris would cover 10... Who knows?
