Do Toua and Lucas have contracts in Japan for next year? Presumably Magnay does? Does that make any difference to RA?

Lucas has always had great ticker, that is not disputable. However the point I was trying to make is that the farce has progressed so far with holes attempting to be papered over when there is a clear and easy answer.
Obviously whatever happened between Thorn and QC (Quade Cooper) is not repairable...

Reds have a new sponsor, a company called Majella Group, QRU hasn't announced it but it's on the new gear which is out.
As there always is with the QRU theres a bit of a back story about Majella Group, CEO Seb Monsour is the brother in law of Cambell Newman and Seb was due to run for the seat of Ashgrove in the 2012, but was forced to resign after he lied about having played for the Queensland Reds. It would now appear his sister is now the head of marketing at the QRU.

ahhh it could indeed. Would explain debrazcini aswell. No flexi contracts, but you can go to japan and come back to australia if a team wants you - no guarentees. Not a bad option for lower paid guys getting on a bit (Toua is 28 and has a baby - his Super Rugby contract wouldn't be much) or for fringe/injury prone guys who havn't got much game time. Come back if they can or just stay in Japan or have a holiday if not.
his sister starting working there late last year. But it's a terrible look.

Wonder if a clause in the sponsor agreement will see Seb on the bench in #23 to come in with 3 Min left in a late season dead rubber. I PLAYED FOR THE REDS!!

Sorry didn’t mean to suggest she has the job because of the sponsorship, mentioned it because I find the intertwined web of corporate support quite intriguing

No-body tell James that a new Maccas opened up in the old JoJo's spot (across from HJ's).

No positives. Can't see you blokes winning a game.

I'm a Brumbies fan.. It's easy too be positive for the Reds, when I don't care that much

Wouldn't worry, Sale rested a few players against Lyon because they weren't going to progress any further in the Champions Cup, its just a bit of respite.

Thanks... I'm quite critical of everything which has occurred at the Reds the past 12 months, however i do think there are a few positives within the remaining squad with some of the players on the books, might be just a bit inexperienced for 2018.

I have been looking at my social media accounts and have been impressed with the Rebels, they just appear to be more professional that the Reds.
They remind me of the Reds a few years ago, excitement is building and is building up fast for their season with new signings and a new coach.
I hope I am wrong and the Res can win a lot of games but my money is on the Rebels to win the Aussie conference, they just seem to be doing everything, including the small things right.
They must have happy members....I have not renewed mine with the Reds, and have not heard from them to try to get me back.
It is like the Reds have given up on being a professional business and are just content to be a football team that does its best on game day and think this will work in 2018.
