Reds 2015

[Braveheart81]

Are there any other guys beside KH playing for the Reds next year?

Yawn......

What about Tongan Thor?

 

[Mr Doug]

What about Tongan Thor?

He was on Chn. 7 Brisbane news tonight. He's a big unit, but Graham said he plans to keep him in club rugby in 2015. He's living with Graham's family. I'd hate to be paying his food bill!

I'd hate to be living with RG so I'd guess the feelings mutual

My starting team for 2015:-

1.Slipper
2.Fainga'a
3.Holmes
4.Simmons
5.Horwill
6. Thomson
7. Gill
8. Shatz
9. Genia
10. Cooper
11. CFS
12. Taps
13. Kerevi
14. JOC (James O'Connor)
15. Hunt

16. Hanson
17. Daley
18. ?
19. McDuling
20. Browning
21. Robinson
22. Frisby
23. Turner

Bloody great full strength side. We just need to add a few props to the side

 

[BDA]

I have to say the Reds have done a great job of recruitment. Thomson, Hunt and JOC (James O'Connor) are all great signings. If Richard Graham can do his job, we've got the cattle to trouble teams.

Geez you guys are like a bunch of old women! Have you actually met RG? Coaching aside, he's a nice guy, I was lucky enough to meet him at the GAGR christmas drinks before he started with the Reds, nice bloke who's not so stuck up he doesn't have time for the fans.

 

[Gillys_ghost]

I never thought anyone had a problem with Graham as a person, he certainly seems like he would be nice guy.

That is indeed a commendable squad. Will test the Super comp in 2015, especially if Khunt lives up to the promise.

Coached by him many years ago - top guy. Coaching abilities at this level not going to comment until this upcoming season, but definitely great bloke.

He's an absolutely lovely man. I really don't know what your problem with him is but if it's personal it doesn't belong here.

 

[TOCC]

Yeah dealt with him for a short period many years ago.. Was a nice guy..

People shouldn't attack someone's personal character over there professional performance.

 

[tragic]

Exactly how was his character attacked?

 

[hammertimethere]

Looks like they are really committed to looking after Thor and making him feel at home here.

Great stuff. Hopefully he grows into the absolute weapon he could be

 

[Gillys_ghost]

Does anyone know what club hes going too?

 

[Gillys_ghost]

I agree with all of the player summaries excpet frisby. I think Stirzaker and Frisby will both probably make wallabies before the 2019 world cup, especially if the reports of Genia going to Bath are true.

exactly, I would hate to live with him too, I like living with my wife and child too much to leave for a male rugby coach.

I would start the season with Frisby, it will make Genia either work harder, give up or decide to leave and we can move forward.

 

[Penguin]

Reckon he'd fit in nicely at the Nest!

 

[MrTabua]

Would be terrific if Logan City Saints was an option (Samoa/Tonga homeground!)

Maybe in the future they will be at Premier level.

He's an absolutely lovely man. I really don't know what your problem with him is but if it's personal it doesn't belong here.

Going to echo the comments about RG as a person. Met him fairly briefly over a year ago but he came off as a very nice guy who loves the game and is very grateful to be coaching for a living right now.

I have mixed feelings regarding him as a coach, but as a man he never seemed like anything but a genuinely good bloke.

If Taps get repeatedly stuck in 13 again this season I may get a chance to update my review on RG-the-man after taking a trip down again to have some words with him in person
