Reds 2013

[Scoey]

I like it. As a few have speculated though, that video looks like it's been ready for a little while! I'm stoked!

When he was playing for Ulster, I think he was 27. He will be a standout in next seasons club rugby and it was worth the QRU to encourage him to come home and have a crack. But he is not in the same league as Simmons, Horwill, AWH, Samo, Van Humphries

You watched him at ulster and you use this as your criticism.......right. If anything a he has been criticised for being to reliant on size and lacking finesse.
But each to their own criticisms I guess, but you don't really crack it as a tight five player in Ireland without physicality, it's kind of the go to thing.

Gets the Goose Pimples going - bring it on!

3 of those are regular Wallabies including the Captain... I dont think anyone is suggesting that Ed O'Donaghue is in the same league as them. He is however an experienced player who offers depth in a position which is critical and hard to find quick substitutes in the event of an injury.

To say he sucks isn't on, he may not be the worlds best lock but in terms of winning super rugby comp the Reds have used players who have previously been discards from other unions or labelled 'past-it'.

All the reports are that he still will fight in Feb. These have all come from the QRU but. The ARU has been silent on the issue.

Looks like next seasons jersey is almost identical to this years apart from a special 130 years of the QRU logo.

Sigh.... Here I was hoping that they'd actually remove that stupid white box behind the St George logo and blend it in with red background.

Guess I'll be wearing my QR 2010 jersey for another year!

Is it just me or are there a nice couple of little digs thrown at the ARU to kick that video off...

although to be fair, simply an ad featuring their team list is enough to get you excited...

1. Holmes, 2. Fainga'a, 3. Slipper, 4. Horwill, 5. Simmons, 6. Schatz, 7. Gill, 8. Samo, 9. Lucas, 10. Cooper, 11. Shipperley, 12. Tapuai, 13. Fainga'a, 14. Ioane, 15. Morahan

16. Hanson, 17. Daley, 18. Owen, 19. Wallace-Harrison, 20. Robinson, 21. Frisby, 22. Harris, 23. F-Sautia

Yeah I thought that too. Particularly Sanchez's remarks about the culture and environment.

Is Samo contracted for 2013? Surely the old players' home beckons, doesn't Link run the risk of keeping him a season too long? He's no Brad Thorn.

 

[Scoey]

Yep I believe Samo is still contracted. I don't know though, I like him being there. Yes he had a slow start to the season this year but even he put his hand up and said that he got lazy and wasn't fit enough. Since the mid point of the year he started to turn it around.

Yeah, 2013 is his last year.

 

[Hardtackle]

The promo vid bought a smile to my face. I can't wait.

 

[nugget]

71 days to go, can't wait!

 

[Forcefield]

New video released, now that the signing is behind them.

The Force were going to make a similar video but we could make up 2 minutes and 10 seconds worth of try-scoring footage

I love the Reds videos, it is a shame it would cost so much to put a minute long version on prime time tv to help boost members

I read somewhere that it was for charity, the ARU would look like stooges if they stopped a charitable event.

 

[Sully]

Ewen said as much in the media conference.

 

[redstragic]

Thanks for posting the video, watched it a few times now.
