Think everyone would agree that he would be a football asset on the field.
It is all the other shit he brings with him that most people dislike,.

In the grand scheme of things, spending that kind of money on getting another open side flanker is largely redundant. Sure Hodgson or Pocock would be great, but they're not really needed as we have both Gill and Beau who have largely been doing a solid job.
The huge money the two examples you suggest would be better off spent reinforcing positions that would have a huge impact ie the Positions TOCC suggested earlier.

*IF* Richard Graham were still coach next year, would it hamper the chances of signing any of these decent players you are all talking about?
Surely when looking at his coaching results, players must have some doubts about what they will be able to achieve under his control.
Would this not make it even more difficult to sign up all these quality players we are talking about?
What about the players we have now? Are some of them looking to leave now?

Why would Pocock even be considered. The reality is that he's essentiaaly been out of the game for 2 seasons. Personally I think he is done (I hope not but)

Coaching idea- Bring back Knuckles!

He's only 26 or 27, he'll get back stronger than before.
Be a huge loss to Aus rugby if he didn't.

i reckon Greene probably has the best kicking game in Australia... like it is a joy to watch... i just dont know if he is ready to make the step up??
He has performed admirably at prems and it is awesome that he was highest point scorer in his first year out of school but i reckon you'd want to wait another year or two before he is ready for super level...
that being said, having a player who can kick it 60m accurately every time is a huge advantage

He is Not a fan of cooper, so we will need to find a 10. And the reds need cooper

Greene is developing very well.
Bringing him in as Quade's back up next year is a must in my opinion.
The kid has an excellent kicking game and has good game management.

I'm on record that (a) should the QRU decide to replace RG it cannot afford another major error on the HC front and so must conduct a patient, thorough, well - researched global search via a top sports head hunter and (b) so as to do this openly, accordingly the QRU should sack RG forthwith and use a solid interim coach for as long as is needed.
Knuckles could actually be a good call as that Interim Coach. Excellent rugby knowledge, huge history with and love for QLD rugby, known and fondly remembered by many rugby fans here, still pretty energetic and switched on, would not cling to the post and likely to have the innate respect of most Reds players.

so the JOC (James O'Connor) plan is, play 1/2 season for Toulon, come back to Oz and help out the Reds, automatically get selected for Wobs in RWC and win; go into 7's program, play for Thunderbolts and win Olympic Gold and then fuck off back to Toulon for a few more seasons and plenty of Euro. Good plan. i am certain everyone can get on board with that team building exercise

Have done without him for 2 years. Hooper was "discovered"
Time to move on. IF he returns great but if not so be it

The Reds will be lucky to hang on to key players this season. I doubt there are any players worth their salt at other franchises that would want to come to QLD at the moment.

True - Unless you had a top coach lined up..
What about Nick Mallett? What's he up to now? The Boks had their longest winning run under him.
