Frisby didn’t surprise me, there’s been talk of him looking to leave the club for months now...
Quade actually turned up to preseason training thinking he had a gig for 2018.

Fuck me that makes for a rugby despondent Christmas.

I don't believe Frisby was looking to go anywhere but the Reds and his dumping was a total surprise to him. Same as with the Prop and Quade.

Which prop got the arse? Did I miss something?

Is there anything built into these contracts that prevent rugby players participating from other sporting activities that are not sanctioned? I know your not allowed to ski or ride motorbikes in some contracts due to risk of injurys but what about other sports?
I only ask because i spied the other week that one of these released players (won't mention which one, I'd hate allegation to get back up the QRU pyramid) was spotted in a facebook/instagram post being invited to play soccer with a social team in either training or midweek competition.
Wondering if the QRU has waived this clause (if it exists) for said players back at clubland.
I guess it maybe me over thinking it all because in Quades case he is allowed to box.

In Quade's contract the fact that HE was allowed to box would simply have been specifically agreed by BOTH parties

Indeed- the biggest change I have seen in rugby in the last 3 years in the upskilling of forwards.

It will be interesting to see how the Reds piggies go. A real mixture of some upandcomers and hard heads.
Slipper, Higgers, Smith and Dougo being the experienced hard blokes and Wright, Rodda, Thor, Tui, Mafi, Sef, Morgan plus ( and some of those are getting experienced as well) some will bring that youthful enthusiasm.
It really should be a good mix.
One bloke who seems on the outer nowdays is Gunn. He never seemed to dominate on his limited chances over a couple of years and certainly left the door wide open for young Liam.

Smith's out isn't he?
The down skilling that happened around the turn of the century was criminal.

He's supposed to be right but ... Obviously he is the most experienced of all.

2018 jersey is out. Looks the goods I reckon. Definitely liking the darker shade of red. I wonder if they're setting it up for a transition back to maroon in 2019?
Doesn't appear to be an away/clash jersey out yet, but there is a nice maroon 'Heritage' jersey so I wonder if they will wear that when they play the Lions and Sunwolves? I hope so.
The fact that Quade, the highest profile player in the squad, is not being used to sell the new merchandise might be the clearest sign yet that he's gone for 2018.

pushing young guys in advertising is one thing, but would still be a better seller to use known players. Like....Tupou, Hunt & Slipper

His main problem is spending to much time drinking and carrying on like a d*ckhead with Chris Lynn. Wish he just pulled his head in and played some good rugby which we know he is capable of.
