Don't you understand. A couple of the Rebels board of directors are notable doctors. They predicted COVID back in 2018 and started stockpiling funds owed to their creditors to ensure the club could continue to pay players, staff and have long lunches. - a couple of posters on this forum...

Yeh I personally won't be doing it but it definitely seems to be infiltrating more homes than just the young share houses who can't be bothered paying for services. Re your comment about credit card details, absolutely, my only input to friends who've mentioned about doing this is to buy a...

Has anyone come into contact with these new illegal streaming services lately? They seem to be a topic of discussion in my circles at the moment and I’ve seen a number of market stalls flogging them which is interesting. Essentially $100 for an Amazon fire stick which has been loaded with some...

I read somewhere recently that Paramount+ will be leaving Australia soon and their catalog being negotiated between Nine and Foxtel.

Credit to the Stan Sports guys for the ‘on the road’ show yesterday, the segments were good but I feel like they were pushing shit uphill at the Jubilee hotel. Being there it wasn’t exactly a great crowd and the audio was horrible. Just watched the TV version and it audio was also pretty rough...

I’m not even so sure it was an age thing but also a longevity factor, which is kind of the same thing because players aged with Thorn. Thorn was involved with a lot of the squad for a very long time. Player coach of QLD country NRC which fed a lot of good players to the Reds, Reds fitness...

Aubrey has had a solid start to QPR this year, I think named in team of the week a few times. I mentioned in the reds thread that I heard Kiss speak this week at a function and he spoke about throwing out a different look team this week and also playing an attacking brand of footy. Aubrey on...

At least they know where they stand in the pecking order of sports tiers here in Australia and don't make direct threats to their competitors about stealing players with money they don't have.

Very good dinner tonight I attended with Kiss, Wright and Ryan Smith talking on a panel. Kiss especially was engaging as a speaker and motivator, made me want to run out this weekend. I’ve seen his emotion on some videos in the sheds and I definitely feel where that comes from. A couple of...

This response is very on brand

Tends to happen when training standards aren't high.

What is Kohan Herberts current contract status? Someone told me over the weekend he wasn't in the Rebels extended squad anymore (which sounds right as I think hes been in Brisbane all year) and was being looked at by the Reds. He's been very very good for Souths this year (and last). Obviously...

What was the official crowd? Around 15k? Crowds across the board seemed to be down this weekend at the Broncos and Lions. Maybe a bit of sporting fatigue/belt tightening after Easter.

Reserve halfback is a pretty tough position. There’s a false expectation you’re gonna to come on and ignite the team when really they probably just need a safe set of hands. Kalani I think has suffered from that mindset and copped a few brain fades because of it. There’s a reason a lot of Reds...

Werchon was kicking a premiership winning field goal for Brothers reserve grade 2 years ago and wasn’t a locked in 1st grader (although I think he was in Reds academy). Good to see him kicking on.

I’m heading to a rugby dinner next week where Kiss, McDermott and Wright are the guest speaker panel. When we booked tickets the Reds were flying high. Selfishly I really bloody hope we get a win tonight so the panel conversation isn’t going to be around how bad the season has turned.

Core audience is probably the wrong terminology. It is frustrating that grassroots players/supporters etc. who clearly enjoy rugby are left needing to choose between supporting their club vs the Wallabies. Honestly my frustrations are more due to the fact that the new administration seemed...

Back when I last played properly (circa 2007-09) I had a number of mates playing 1sts and 2nd grade at GPS move to league for a couple of seasons. None of them got near Q-Cup level but they were playing around reserve grade and all got a small match payment, free tins after every game and paid...

I think the current administration realise we can’t afford the caliber of convert who can make a seismic shift in our wallabies fortunes. Our most successful leaguies in the last 20 years were all SOO level players. With the NRL expanding, it’s no longer just the top 30 or so guys getting...

Ah yes Justin Olam, the bloke who couldn’t crack 1st grade last year and had to leave his club, great signing. All jokes aside as a Reds supporter I have a severe phobia now of any player who looked half decent in the Storm system unless their name is Munster or Paps.
