    Reds v Crusaders - Round 6

    You'd think so, wouldn't you. So how long has he been the starting halfback at the Reds and what evidence is there that he has done anything to improve his passing/kicking thus far? Or any of the other starting players at the Reds. He's a hot take - lynagh's tactical kicking strength will be...

    Reds v Crusaders - Round 6

    I absolutely agree that these things are the key to elite level halfbacks. But Im talking personal motivation. He's some distance behind White, and that hasn't motivated him to do better as yet. The results are patchy at best, so being better than the opposition isn't high on the agenda...

    Reds v Crusaders - Round 6

    Agreed, but there has been no motivation for him to do so thus far, so pretty difficult to imagine that he will.

    Wallabies 2023

    Could well be a kind of compensation for the very necessary loss of all those other "heartland" players and coaches that are quite rightly given up to fill out the expansion teams - which is one of the components needed to grow the game in areas that are confused between the two codes.

    Rebels v Reds 25/03 @ AAMI

    During the warmup prior to the game, the reds run extremely flat in the quick hands drill. Other teams don't. They are obviously training their poor execution so it is habit forming. Semi related, there is no single area of Tate's current game that isn't signficantly worse than his last two...

    Rebels v Reds 25/03 @ AAMI

    hahahahahahahahah Reds have absolutely no one else to blame at all for that try being disallowed. The rebels player had literally zero chance of ever nmaking the tackle and the reds player STILL holds the defender back and gives EVERY opportunity to allow the referee to give yet another...

    Qld Reds v Fiji Drua Sun 19-3-23

    Now that I have seen the highlights a number of the reds tries had incredibly suspect passes. The support runners are running extremely flat and overrunning the ball carrier - not a matter of the pass drfiting forwards due to the speed of the carrier. A different referee might have some issues...

    My mistake. Everything else in that post except the "hot as buggery" part indicated the struggle the Reds had to overcome to get the "good win". I just assumed it was also another kind of struggle they faced.

    Nah, seen them heaps. But where have the Reds been training that they struggle with the heat?

    Really? Why? Where have the reds been doing all their training for the last 4 months?

    Pretty still, a little bit of a slight gust every couple of seconds.

    Was that not a 50-20? I couldn't see it from where I am sitting?
