Reds 2013

[East Coast Aces]

Cheerleaders can be tastefully done, in a way that doesn't offend those concerned about showing that much skin off whilst still being alluring. Women in jersey's are more appealing to me than in a bra, but that's just my opinion.

What they really need to bring back are those who were in the "band/drums" from 2011. They created an awesome atmosphere and kept the stadium buzzing. The kid dancers for me just doesn't do anything other than bursting my ears when they play the music.

Are you kidding me, those drums drove me crazy. They were horrible. What was good was the Glam rock they pumped out. Come on Feel the noise by Quiet Riot I thought got the crowd going better. The drums made everyone shut up.

But the PC world has killed off the Pushup boys. Be great to see some former reds doing it. Would certainly make for a good "where are they now" moment

 

[TOCC]

how are the pushup up boys non PC?

 

[East Coast Aces]

I think it was the promotion and glorification of drinking excessive amounts of beer.
I can't see any other reason why they don't do it anymore?

I on the other hand sore it as a physical activity and healthy living promotion.

Just to change the tack slightly..

I'd love to see Link in the Top job coaching the Wallabies but at the same time don't want to lose him from the Reds to early. I feel RG needs next year under Link to get the feel of how things work in Redville.

Yeah the drummers were brilliant! Some tastefully done cheerleaders would be sweet. And last but not least, we NEED to bring back the "Push Up Boys". Ahhh whatever happened to them? I know they were more of a Ballymore thing than a Reds or QLD Rugby thing but still.

I want the dog that delivered the kicking tee to come back

Poor old Bomber passed away some years ago

 

[tigerland12]

Can we get a Koala to do it? That'd be more fitting........plus I would pay copius amounts of money to see that.

Another reason we need the academy brought back, train up more Bombers!

Plus I heard that some people in the crowd learnt the dog's true name, and took pleasure in calling it and disrupting its world saving tee delivering mission. This led to the dog's premature retirement.

So after reading the RUPA CBA, there is nothing preventing a union from setting up and running their own Academy, no limit on the number of academy members either..

Little bit difficult to read, not quite sure on the required salary though, might be $35'000 if I read it correctly.

I would pay even more to attach the Koala to an absailng rig and hang it off one of those spider cam setups. It could could then become a drop bear

 

[What2040]

still need a "Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders" squad of about 20

 

[RugbyReg]

I'll put it here casue I can't find the 2012 season one, but who do we think will win the major awards at the Reds Gala tonight?

[tigerland12]

Pilecki Medal: Scott Higginbotham (only because Genia had a shitty first 6 or so rounds).
Most Improved: Jake Shatz/Liam Gill/Mike Harris/Luke Morahan/Dom Shipperely (Can't really pick one)
Rookie: Chris F'Sautia
Peoples Choice: Will Genia

 

[tranquility]

Shipperley is the most improved by a mile!

He wasnt in the 22 last year, now he is our best 14 and fully ingrained in the XV pushing for Wobbs colours.
Higgers probably wins the Pilecki.

 

[TOCC]

Is Shipperly still considered a rookie, he would take that award if he is, otherwise CFS..

Most improved will be a race between Shipperly and Gill
