Reds 2015

How long does Graham's contract run?

At this stage his chances of remaining past the season are close to zero, unless his friends on the board remain delusional. Currently I'd say odds are against him lasting the season.

Even with his mates on the board, you would hope sense will prevail. The rumbling in Queensland rugby is growing steadily louder, they would be turfed out if they were silly enough to ignore it.

 

[USARugger]

If there are Rugby Gods, certainly we have done something to anger them greatly.

 

[Thinker]

Tonight probably saved Graham for another year.

We will hear the old injuries and distractions excuses for the rest of the year no doubt.

Tonight was a great win, but anyone can see the result covered up a lot of issues.

How Meehan remains employed is truly one of life great mysteries. Graham obviously has his best mate on the board, but I don't get Meehan. We've offered absolutely nothing in attack since he came on board.

 

[FilthRugby]

I thought Talakai earned his spot tonight - particularly at scrum time.

 

[tragic]

Is it time for a Reds positivity thread?

Mine is that Quade will come back at some point.

Apparently the shoulder isn't as bad as reported - prob miss four games only.
Hopefully that means back for the home game v brumbies...

 

[Ash]

Yeah, Meehan is arguably even a weaker link than Graham right now.

Biggest issues are: defensive structure, backline cohesion / lack of understanding and moves, incoherent game plans / game plans too hard to play to, ruck accuracy, discipline.

The only positive is set piece, and that's Stiles' responsibility. Although even Stiles has issues, as the ruck work needs improving.

At least in the Force game we saw a simple game plan and improvement in the ruck work and discipline.

I worry about our backline cohesion, we rarely even seem able to get the ball through the hands. We seem to rely too much on the odd bit of individual brilliance, which wins us the odd game.

Hey lads, I'm looking the player profile of Tom Murday.

There is nothing on the website:

Where Can I find it?

 

[emuarse]

cheers mate, definitely give him crack.

'Crack'or 'a crack'?
With the KH affair, one needs to chose one's words carefully.
And not knowing who Rusty is, the faithful mascot through thick & thin, will probably shatter him.
This might even force Rusty back to a eucalyptus oil overdose.

 

[SouthernX]

Adam Thompson was a great addition.

Tackled his little kiwi heart out and was fundamentally sound at the lineout.

 

[Parse]

I noticed on the website that the Reds now have a pre-game Reds TV show. Didn't realise they ever had this before, just watched it and it's better then the Fox Sports one

 

[Gillys_ghost]

The only mascots at the games at the moment is a lizard or some shit, and some versions of slipper and S. Finger think.

So some positives for the Reds is that Talakai, Kotze, Magnay, Kerevi, Kuridrani, Murday and Faagase have only debut'd since late 2014, surely proving the value of the NRC competition.

Pretty exciting with Tapuai, Simmons, Holmes, JOC (James O'Connor), Fainga'a, all due back in the next couple of weeks.

 

[RugbyReg]

I think Cooper is due back sooner than originally thought too.

 

[No4918]

Very excited about the Reds scrum this year. Talakai is the find of the year. Wallaby bolter this year & odds on to play 3 next year when Kepu goes OS.

Gill & Thomson are going to make a formidable backrow as well.

 

[Dctarget]

Haha who needs a Reds positivity thread, we're on the up!

 

[FilthRugby]

I have to add that Frisby was solid at #10.
It's good to know there's a further back up in that position.
I thought he did bloody well considering it's not his usual spot.

 

[Scoey]

Frisby is Lucas ver 2.0. Covers 9, 10 wing and fullback.

 

[Pieman]

I think Cooper is due back sooner than originally thought too.

I presume Beau Robinson is still injured.....does anyone have any idea when he might be available again?

next couple of weeks i think he said in the interview, its hard to see where he fits in the team at the moment though..
