Queensland Reds 2025

Reds game pass*.

*Only valid for games at Suncorp.

You'll need a Tahs gamepass for Tahs v Reds in Sydney, and a "Reds premium" game pass for finals.
I think some of the team streaming services don't include home games as they want you to go to the live game, they just get you away games

I hope they are ok, got a training t and training singlet for $23 delivered and a game jersey for my daughter for $15 delivered.

Have you bought anything from these sites before? I gave up buying clothes of any kind years ago because the sizing was never right. I’ve bought Ls which were sized more like smalls and XLs which fit my fridge.

That and the whole supporting slave labour.

Sorry I'm not quite following. At any rate illegal streaming and Youtube replays isn't really "half way effective".

On the whole I've been happy with Stan, just missing these European trials.


I wouldn't pay a fee per stream scenario.
YouTube replays and illegal streams are shit. But if that was the only alternatives to pay per game streaming...
I'm happy with Stan also. Much better than Fox.

I have had success on DH Gate previously, particularly with baseball caps.

I generally go up a size and they are ok.

Tbf almost all the gear no matter who it's from is made by someone in conditions we'd consider awful. Issue with Ali, Temu etc is always the colour differences in features that kill the buzz. Got a few knock off NBA jerseys years ago and they are just slighty off. Canterbury is owned by a UK company and just had a look at a couple of my items from them and it's from China.

I was considering the value of the tour to UK, and whilst I agree it's probably serving as a fantastic team bonding experience, I do question the timing; even if we ignore the concerns of Bristol fielding a B-Team, there's a timing issue of the Reds disappearing from QLD for 2-3 weeks from media coverage in the lead up to the seasons.

It removes marketing opportunities and even things like community days to build excitement/consumer interest leading into the season. There has been a few reports on their UK tour, but based on previous years I'd expect had they stayed and played against other Australian or New Zealand teams in Queensland where the media could attend, then they probably would have generated even more.

Super Rugby marketing team probably not too thrilled about it either given who the Reds are having to trot out for the trophy photos done this morning (on Super rugby instagram)

Given how front and centre Toomaga-Allen has been (he's the main player they've directly focused on for the socials there and was even posting from the official instagram account) I can't see them being too unhappy about it:

My issue with the tour (it’s minor, they are all professionals) is going to a winter climate and coming back to a humid summer and hitting ground running.

I hope some of those players are not hiding weight gains under their puffy north face vests

Can't imagine many of the Reds not being in good shape with how little time off most of the main 23 have had. Straight from the Wallabies into this I wouldn't be too concerned about that.

Got a week and a half once home. Couple days rest/easy sessions post travel and then a full match week build up will have them set.

Nah, I'm going to bust your balls on this one, you're going to have to spell this one out for me.

Why would they not be thrilled about JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen) being there?

I see a hard working bloke who's a larkin and bends over backwards to engage with the Queensland fans. He personifies everything we think of when the world "Queenslander" comes to mind.

What do you see?

I think he means not one of our either our captain, wallaby rep or major marquee players - to which he has a point.

When promoting anything sports related you'd be wanting to leverage major names and faces. JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen) is a great bloke but I feel would struggle to be recognised amongst more casual fans.

I get the argument, but if that was the case I don't think they'd be posting so much content with him as the focal point.
