I wasn't that thrilled when I heard that rumour, however I didn't realise that he was only born in 1986. Making him 24 this year. You beauty, come on down Sitaleki.

Ratu(Nemani Nadolo) gone to Bourgoin by the looks of the other thread. Looking for some wingers it seems...
Indeed, they have lost Albert Vuli Vuli to Racing. Vuli Vuli is a very good player, i don't understand why he didn't get a Super 14 contract when he played in Australia.

Can't say I'm heartbroken about that one. It wasn't that he was bad, it's just that he never really did anything particularly good.

I was always one who stood by Vaalu, but like has been said already, he never produced the results. It strikes me strange after the departing Latham tagged him a real talent and more then capable of filling his vacant fullback position.

Phil Mooney used to talk about how he was a world beater on the training paddock, but could never translate that to the field.

He will be a very good french winger, on boggy fields with plenty of crash ball. He just isn't quick enough, or agile enough to be an Australian winger. Some players can get around this by have great game nous, and putting themselves in the right position - Brando had none of this.

Great news. Hopefully his hammy is better next year though - I always get a bit worried when I see someone getting recurring injuries

Being a good player doesn't always make a good talent spotter!

Great news on Davies. Does anybody know when the 2011 super 15 draw is due to be released. Looking to get in early and book some cheap airfares.

A independent Canadian company is still sorting it out. The past few years, its been announced around September. That would be my guess.

Also one would wonder, are the Reds going to play some more Rugby at Ballymore because of there financial situation.

Cheers Chief. I hope they don't play more at Ballymore. Given the way crowds have risen for Reds games, it would be a backwards step.

I hope they don't do so either. I hope for a Sunday afternoon game at Ballymore, but thats about it. Just the one game a year. For the Reds to get constant crowds of 25k + they need to be successful.

Does anyone know what it takes for the Reds to break even at Suncorp?

I wonder if there's anythought to bringing Stannard home?

Sure we've got Lucas, but not much else. And I really think we need to consider worse case scenario and we lose Quade. Lucas at the moment is probably the only option to do that, so a legitimate back up scrummy is key. Lucas may end up being fullback anyway, who knows?

Chief,

I think that is a how long is a piece of string type question, and the answer varies depending on a few different factors. However I think it is safe to say that they need around 25k on average to be in a reasonable financial position.
