Reds 2016

[Train Without a Station]

Because there are already 2 top ups tied up with players who play his position. They limit top ups to the top 25-30 which he is clearly outside of.

Why wouldn't Gill be given a top-up?

Why should a player who doesn't even make Test squads get a top up? That sounds harsh on him but it's the reality..

how the fuck have we still got no news on the Head coach, and whats happening with Quade next year? the longer they wait the worse its gonna be for the players and fans.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The re-appointment of Dickie Boy, after an exhaustive worldwide search of the Ballymore Carpark, is going to be announced on Saturday night, and subsequently buried by the news of a Bledisloe Cup victory.

 

[Gillys_ghost]

I'm pretty sure the World-Wide search was limited to Dicks office.

I thought it was RG's job to find the next head coach. He has most probably re-signed himself on a 5 year deal at triple the current pay rate. That's why we have no big signings for next year, RG needed the money for himself and the board also most probably thinks a pay rise is a good idea.

 

[Sully]

My understanding is that no one has been interviewed for the job. Is that correct?

 

[No4918]

5 reds in Gold this week, 2 even starting. The press release is coming together nicely.

 

[Gillys_ghost]

have they not interviewed anyone because they just straight up signed someone else or because they are pompous fluffybunnys who have a serious issue with accountability?

 

[Gillys_ghost]

i dont know how i feel about this site changing my words to say Fluffybunnys

 

[Gillys_ghost]

probably fair though

 

[Getwithme]

The way the conducted the review was a bit ridiculous. To have board members on the review, and to have the former coach conducting parts of the review is stupid. I know the son of the Brett Robinson and he says that the did look for other coaches yet none were on the market apparently. He is also a close member of the reds family these days...........

In the space of one week, Richard Graham has increased the number of Reds players in the Wallabies 23 by 40%. It's a remarkable achievement by a wonderful coach and for that reason, the QRU are proud to announce that Richard has been reappointed Reds coach until the conclusion of the 2020 Super Rugby season and made a life member of the QRU.

Well done Richard.

 

[Braveheart81]

The best part would be if they made that post with the entirely incorrect 40% increase.

It's actually a 66.66% increase.

 

[Scoey]

I believe we will have our HC confirmed this week.

I don't believe interviews with other candidates were conducted.

Any more info coming out of the rumour mill Reg? The wait is killing me!

 

[RugbyReg]

I think Sully nailed it. A post Bledisloe Cup announcement, hidden on Sunday morning

 

[Sully]

There will be a mutiny.

 

[Scoey]

I'm sorry I asked. The wait may be killing me but I guess there are worse things. Like having RG's reappointment confirmed.

A mutiny may not be enough Sully. I'd like to suggest a coup d'état.

 

[HJ Nelson]

There's a Welsh & English logo too. No All Black logo.

5 logos. Three positions. Think they may just be covering their bases.

James Hook has just missed the cut for the Welsh RWC squad. I wonder if he is on the Reds shopping list, given he is a couple of years younger (30) than Michalak

 

[RugbyReg]

There'd be worse options.

Like Michelak.
