much debate in other threads about the best lock combinations heading into World Cup.....would love to know who big Kev rates as the best option / first pic lock for the wobblies (beside himself of course)

To JH:

1. Without giving away 'Reds' trade secrets', can you comment upon how 2011 game plans were formulated at the Reds, and how effective you assess the Reds' game plans were in general throughout the season, and why.

2. Much no doubt deserved attention has been focussed upon Link's role with the Reds, but could you comment upon the roles and value of the specialist support coaches of McKay, Taylor and Fowler.

(Well done Gaggs for getting JH on, can't wait to hear the cast!)

We blame front rowers for scrum deficiencies but why are the locks rarely blamed when the scrum does not perform?

Please ask him will the Reds return to Darwin next year to defend the Territory cup they won against the Brumbies?

Ask him about the differences in coaching style between Robbie Deans and Link.

Cheers

dear Kev,
as someone who does alot of grunt work and carrys himself with self respect, when you watch the young blokes such as JOC (James O'Connor), Kurtley and Quade tweeting about getting there hair tinted or talking about there constant need for a decent cafe to meet and talk about oprah, do you wish you played in a mens team?

Who is your toughest opponent?

When you smack James O'Connor, does he cry?
 

Ignoto

Peter Sullivan (51)
What makes a good line out caller and why was Simmons picked to run the line out at the Reds instead of him (even though His/Kevs experience was/is significantly higher).

How can the Wallabies ensure they don't lose the battle at the breakdown? The Reds were quite effective in securing their own ball, but also putting pressure on the opposite team - Is there an emphasis of being dominant at the break down in the Wallabies camp?

Jim Lenehan (48)
At what point did the Reds "turn things around"

When he has been selected at blindside, has he approached the game any different. Not talking about the scrummaging, but did he feel he had to do "more" or "less" of something/anything?

When did he become so adept to not rolling away and lying all over the opposition side?
 

DPK

Peter Sullivan (51)
In hindsight, does he think of his injury in 2010 as a blessing in disguise as it forced the Reds pack to learn to stand up without him?

Further to Ignoto's question, what involved in calling a lineout? Is there more to it than "throw it to 5"? What sort of things does the caller need to take into account?

When he wins the Bledisloe and World cups this year, would he mind if I drink out of them? I'd also be keen to eat a Rib-Eye off the Mandella plate.. can that be arranged?

Do you get pissed when you look up from a 45 minute scrum session and see the backs taking kicks at goal.
Are you the next Wallaby Captain?

Kev, captaincy... Poey had a crack leading the team against the Yarpies. There's the frequently floated suggestion on these boards that you could do the job.

Do you want to be the captain of the Wallabies?

Assuming the answer is 'yes'; looking forward, what do you think your chances are?

Have the coaching staff let you and the other aspirants know where you stand in the hierarchy?

At Wallaby training, what role do the following people play:
- Robbie Deans
- David Nucifora
- Jim Williams
- Pato Noriega
- Phil Blake

Who does the analysis of the opposition?
 

barbarian

Phil Kearns (64)
Staff member
He is in the four man 'leadership group' with Poey, Genia and Rocky. What is their role in the running of the team?
 

REDinCPT

Sydney Middleton (9)
obviously a lot has changed since the changes to the board, management and coaching staff but is there still any influence left on the team from the days when phil mooney was coach?
