Damon Emtage quits embattled Reds

QUEENSLAND Reds backs coach Damon Emtage has re-signed his position from the struggling Super 14 team.
Emtage, who played two games for Queensland at five-eighth in 1993, has been on the Reds' coaching staff for four years, assisting three head coaches _ Jeff Miller, Eddie Jones and Phil Mooney.

Citing family reasons, Emtage will quit professional rugby coaching and return to teaching at Brisbane Grammar school.

Emtage survived the Reds' season review which resulted in the release of forwards coach Mark Bell, but he intimated to Mooney at the end of the Super 14 series in May that he was thinking of leaving.

There is speculation Wallabies inside centre Berrick Barnes would have stayed in Queensland and not moved to NSW Waratahs if he had known there was going to be a change.

It is understood Emtage pushed for Quade Cooper to be the Reds' five-eighth ahead of Barnes.

A spokesman for the Reds said there was no immediate replacement in mind as Emtage only announced his decision to the team yesterday morning.

At the moment it is Mooney all by himself.

Didn't Noddy say Barnes left the reds partly because of Emtage. The Reds need some decent coaching replacements and quickly or else we're going to be stuck with the more dregs.

I think this adds weight to the rumours I heard that Berrick is already in talks with the Reds about returning for the 2011 season.

I wonder if Paul Carozza might step up. He's highly regarded at the QRU, but perhaps they see more value in him staying with the academy.

Is it just me, or is there a fundamental difference between "resigned" and "re-signed"

It's like something can be delicious, or de-licious!
Actually there was a good story in the herald (Column Eight) the other day about someone being told in a shop than an item they wanted was "deranged", and the shop assistant earnestly insisted that it did not mean whacko but "removed from the range". Go figure.

 

[Moses]

When I use "re-signed" I mean that someone had a contract and have extended it for a further period.

When I use "resigned" I mean that somone has terminated their contract.

To my mind the words are complete opposites, do I have this wrong?

 

[Sully]

You are correct Moses! But I get confused myself with these two words.

But I get confused myself with these two words.

Perhaps, but you don't write for The Australian so perhaps shouldn't be held to as high a standard......

 

[Sully]

Australian papers have standards?

 

[Lindommer]

Yes, "re-signed' and "resigned" have a world of difference in their meanings. But it doesn't take an Einstein to work out Emtage was leaving the Reds as he wished to "quit professional rugby coaching and return to teaching at Brisbane Grammar School".

QRU, please use this as an opportunity to improve the Reds. 8) raying: 8)

Carozza might be a good option and it would be just reward for him.

Forwards Coach will be announced shortly.

 

[RugbyReg]

To be honest I'm not particularly excited about the liklihood of Jim Williams being our forwards coach.
