Reds 2020

[Finsbury Girl]

I for one am very happy how Stewart is coming along. He is a natural football player with a lovely deceptive stride. On top of that he doesn't mind the contact, can kick and has shown over the last couple of months that he is an extremely hard worker

We will have plenty of options next year and one positive is that we cannot rely solely on one man to make us metres in the midfield. We've got loads of blokes putting their hands up which means Jim has an easier job organising the attack.

Yeah the gameplan in the backs will have to change dramatically. We'll have to be more subtle and show some skill to break through the defence. If they need a battering ram we could see CFS playing on a wing to come in and hit it up, but I'd prefer we use the ball through the hand and get the fast guys into some space.

CFS is a battering ram made out of balsa wood

I personally thought Daugunu hits the line harder than CFS does. You also have Speight and Jordan who should be able to draw more than 1 defender in to create room outside of them.

I had just forgot you signed Henry ... He makes alot of tough yards.

Bro, I read the article this morning in the paper and I've just got a different opinion than you.that's all

Because the courier mail is a most upstanding and factual news source that never ever speculates or embellishes for a better headline. Riiiiiight.....

You should put this theory to the test and volunteer for some one on one tackling practice with CFS. Just for accuracy.

Picone covert guerrilla posting squad needs practise.

I wasn't referring to ease to tackle, i was referring to his ability to not break afterwards.

Outdated perception.

Yup, Picone got Penguin to join in 2011 just for this occasion. Let the conspiracy theories go mate.

It’s called Astro Turfing, very common. Read about it if you like learning

Izack Rodda set to sign a new 4 year contract with the Reds and RA

 

[RugbyReg]

Guess who represents Rodda.

 

[Adam84]

So, QRUs decision to deal directly with player was perhaps a positive one?

The number of long term contracts signed by the Reds is really unprecedented in the history of rugby in Australia, there were only a few 4 year contracts previously and now the Reds have locked down a significant chunk of their squad going forward for years. Reds have 18 squad members already signed up for 2021, 11 signed up for 2022 and incredibly 6 signed out until 2023. Comparison across the other teams;

2021/2022/2023

Reds: 18/11/6
Brumbies: 15/6/1
Rebels: 9/1/0
Waratahs 8/1/1

Are they posting in this thread?

Your assumption that you're always the smartest person in the room is tiresome.

It is my understanding the Reds are also benefiting from many U20 stars being Queenslander. The Creme de la creme of aussie youth who are also the target of RA initiative to lock in young talent. I'm sure this must be beneficial when it comes to what can be offered to the youth and for how long.

This is amazing for the Reds, but also the Wallabies. 4 year signings are brilliant, it's a shame we're losing Coleman but here's Rodda committing for another cycle. Future doesn't look so dire.
