If Fisher is coming to the Reds I hope that he is in a position to work with the board and staff to ensure he has in place what he requires and he does not have to start doing his thing next year.

Fisher has another year on his Gloucester contract, and has expressed a preference to not coach another Australian team against the Brumbies...........
So there would need to be a lot of cash thrown his way, a deal brokered with Gloucester to release him from his contract, and/or possibly a seat at Cheika's roundtable to entice him to Ballymore.

This is the most disappointing thing I've heard since they re-appointed RG.

And this is the most optimistic exciting thing I've heard since they removed RG!
knowing who's doing the negotiating and player recruitment, a couple of these really surprise me.

I'll probably get flogged on here but here goes:
Is QC (Quade Cooper) the right bloke to re-sign at the ridiculous money he somehow commands. IS HE going to magically fix the back-line issues.
He hasn't been great or even good (consistently) for the past few years at the Reds , hasn't (I believe) played well for Toulon (as it seems they are happy to let him go), hasn't been "great" in sevens (where I think most would have thought so).
I appreciate he is obviously better than Jake (ATM) but is he worth the dollars for what he brings to the field.
Genia is a different story as is Liam and Leroy,. Little question as to their value at Ballymore. Don't know about the other 2.
Good discussion point ???????

Disagree - Have you actually watched any of his games in 7's or just the media drumming it up. I've watched all his games and he's slotted in better than I thought he would. Yeah he missed a few tackles in some games but they all do.
I think he'd be a big asset to the Reds and great mentor to the young 10's we have ATM.
JM even said as much in an interview, how much he's picked up from QC (Quade Cooper) last year with regards to bossing the players around.

I did watch his first game (I think) where he did a shitty kick ib the early stages of the match, only to have the kick returned and chased by the kicker who burnt Quade for speed and scored a try.
I just thought he was really suited to the Sevens format but have the selectors agreed (not meant as a smart arse question)

Geez write the guy off after his first game in 7's why don't you!
As mentioned on the GAGR pod this week, the new faces in the Thunderbolts squad have created good competition, the whole squad has lifted and are playing better than I've seen them play in a long time. No one is guaranteed a place but at least we're building a competitive squad that's now made the pointy end the last 3 tournaments.
Anyway, that was off on a tangent. Back to the Reds..

Sure, QC (Quade Cooper) at the Reds works well. BUT QC (Quade Cooper) at the Reds for the $ he wants is another story.

Quade loves QLD and the Reds or at least that's how it seems to me. He has played arguably his best Rugby for the Reds. The fans love him and he is a great player in a position where we desperately need one.
Whether or not the Reds should sign him and whether or not he is good value for us depends entirely on how much money we have to spend to get him. I don't think its even worth speculating on what that sum may be so discussion about his worth or value to us is pretty much moot at this stage IMO.
I'd really love to see him back at the Reds though.

I guess we all have different perceptions. I'm luke warm on Will. He's been fantastic, I really respect what he has done at the Reds but I'd like to see Frisbey given some rope.
Quade I think is a once in a generation player that you just lock in if you can. His value is more than his on-field ability. I have no doubt that he needs a solid environment and some consistent game time to get back to his best. Completely worth it in my mind. Reds is the place for him to do this.
You would need to know where you were in terms of coaching. No point bringing in either of these guys if you were talking White/Deans. It would be a waste of talent and inevitable head butt issues.
