Reds 2018

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Quade to be the highest paid club rugby player in the country, this will do well for the Reds and ARU ‘saving’ some money:

I'll certainly turn up to a few more games at Chipsy Wood if that is the case.

The battle of Brisbane 2 is on next week - do we know who the undercards are??

Maybe Quade's just absent from training as he's getting ready for a fight??

(Here's hoping anyway)

Also do we know who would have leaked the conversation to the courier mail?

With no official response I'm not sure if this being out benefits anyone other than the old theory of any news is better than no news & hype building for next season..

Just like Quades 2018 season he would not have had any chance getting on this undercard.

Yeah, but just one injury totally stuffs that, particularly at 10 & 12. That means some level of back-up has to be recruited and integrated into the team. Only other alternative is Kerevi to 12 and that means starvation for 13 & 14.

Nah it's all good bruv Kerevi's dog is going to come onto the bench as inside backs cover because that's about all we'll be able to afford after this bloody fucking brilliant stroke of business genius

I assume the cover at 12 is Hunt - either by moving him to 12 and playing someone like Maranta at 15 or by deploying him as 2 nd playmaker from 15.

I find the lack of talk to the media interesting. Hopefully, as speculated, this is a sign that both parties still want Cooper to have a future at the Reds.

I think Thor at 12 Should be considered..

Didn't Slipper play 10 when younger? Could be our 10-12 back up solved. Bwahaha.

In some positive news, Higgers is back at pre-season training so hopefully the neck injury is behind him

Unless he has an attitude problem.

Geez, Sully. Please tell me your fingers slipped and missed the obvious smiley face emoticon.

It’s going to be a tortuous off season if we are guessing who does or does not fit the Thorn mould.

I think BT attitude is FIFO, Fit In or F@&k Off.

Sorry. I'll try to do better.

You can't do smileys in the HTML version of the forum that we are using.

In this thread I can only do

Via Ezra Taylor's instagram I've seen Douglas and Higginbotham doing sessions. Gotta think that they are extras which is a great start

 

[Rugrat]

Is Cordingley still at the Reds as list manager?

 

[RugbyReg]

General Manager, High Performance: Sam Cordingley

Wouldn't read to much into that Reg, after all the same website still has Quade and Pickle listed on the squad page: http://www.redsrugby.com.au/Reds/SuperRugbySquad.aspx

We can only hope that Big Bad Brad has told Cordingley that he is not in his plans for 2018 and to manage his club side instead.

 

[Scrubber2050]

Serious question.

Does Quade HAVE to play Prems rugby to endure his ARU/REDS contract continues to be paid ?

OR can he sit on his arse for the next 2 years, not play rugby, and still get paid ?

From a legal prospective he is better off to be looking like the aggrieved worker who wants to work but has been the victim of adverse action in case he needs to take formal actions.

But in reality the Reds have prevented him from being in the workplace so he can't work. Its a fairly simple argument to explain that Prem rugby is amateur and not a workplace like the Reds provided; nor like any other Super Rugby franchise or professional team provides.

Yeah, exactly. Unless there's a specific mention of playing club rugby when available in ARU/QRU contracts (and there might be).
