So the reds are desperate to sign JOC (James O'Connor). Not god for
JOC (James O'Connor). He needs to come back on the clubs terms. How long has quade signed for? Being in a team with quade might help
JOC (James O'Connor) a heap. Quade has come a long way and you can tell in the way e represents himself, ARU and the wallabies.

Maybe Queensland is the best spot for JOC (James O'Connor). Let's hope Woody brings him in on his terms.

What slang comes to your mind when someone says "woody", and do you think that more appropriate then "Dick" (Graham)?

Quade is with the Reds until the end of this season but has an ARU contract until end of 2015.

Rumour is they are not the BFFs they used to be.

I thought it was the other way around? Contracted with Reds until 2015 but ARU only until 2014 which leaves him in the same predicament that he was last time. If he can't come to terms with the ARU then his only option is outside of AUS for 2015.

What makes you think the Reds are desperate to sign him? If he wants to play in the WC we're his only option, we know that, he knows that. So I'd imagine the desperation is solely on his side.

Reg thanks for that - looks bloody unwieldly to me - too many bodies.

Suppose that is why Carmichael has to make the "on the ground" decisions.

It also makes HIM directly responsible about the value and results of his decisions.

Therefore the Board needs to do fuckall but appoint the CEO, let him loose, being confident about the quality of decisions made AND also having him being accountable.

that's just the members. Those with voting rights at the AGM. They aren't on the board. The Board is non-Representative.

If JOC (James O'Connor) has had his reality wake call and now realises that rugby doesn't not revolve around him,And he is ready to commit to Aus rugby and start playing the way we all know he can. I would be happy for him to sing with the reds.as much as I've have bagged on him and his attitude, people change.
A reformed JOC (James O'Connor) could be a deadly weapon for the Reds and bonus for the wallabies. He won't fuck around knowing what link has done to him in the pass.

Is it a gamble for the reds, maybe but it can't be any worse then signing RG.
He is a top player...

And On the JOC (James O'Connor) and cooper mateship, QC (Quade Cooper) did remove himself from the Beale and JOC (James O'Connor) for good reason, and we have all seen the change in the man. There been mates for years and things could have been sorted out just like good mates do.

the JOC (James O'Connor) plan i posted elsewhere was not tongue in cheek. in his discussions with the force that was his plan; S15, Wallabies(RWC), 7's + Olympics and then back to Toulon. there is no evidence he has changed his mind.

Haven't been watching the Rugby Club at all, but if Eales or Horan I'd be very, very keen to hear if they criticise Graham at all.

One thing to remember is that Graham has a lot of friends with connections in Queensland rugby, and not just certain White board members, and is reputed to be a good and likeable guy, aside from his apparent lack of coaching ability.

So bear that in mind if he is still coaching the Reds next year as to the method behind the madness.

Hoping Graham is gone next year too, but will not be surprised to find out he sticks around for at least another year.

Yeah, I reckon the same - the rot hasn't set in ENOUGH as yet but suppose we still have a few games to go.

If RG stays as coach then you can expect some big changes coming - players, captaincy - it will be his last chance and he will surely make those alterations to assist in the stimulation of the Reds
