I just spotted Eddie Jones at a cafe next to my work, so I toddled down to strike up a brief conversation about the test tomorrow night. Key take away was that if the English team is ahead within the first 5 - 10 minutes, he is confident that they will be able to capitalise on the early...
Well that's certainly good news if true about Laurie Fisher, but I still fail to see the appeal of Stephen Moore returning to the Reds at this stage of his career. IMO we would have been better served by keeping James Hansen.
I share your concern on this point as well and am worried that the current downturn in numbers will echo the Tahs experience for permanency. Sport in Queensland and the nation broadly is incredibly competitive and as the third / fourth favourite winter code we can't afford to let our competitors...
The game in Toowoomba will be an absolute cracker and you can expect a good turnout at Berghoffer. IMHO well worth the road trip... and worse can scenario there are a couple of great pie shops around.
I was trawling the Reds facebook thread and seemed to have missed that response from the QRU. Has anyone shot an email to that address and if so what was the response?
My 0.02 c based on the third party information that I presume we are all using wrt to Mr Gill, I would not expect to see him in a Reds jersey next year.
If there is truth to the rumour that the opt out clause (on event that RG was retained as Reds coach) in his contract was solely removed on...
Part of me has a macabre interest in the number of Reds memberships that will be sold for next year. Judging from the anger on social media, of which I participated in, there should be a sizeable drop.
I prepared myself for this announcement, but I am still stunned by the complete inability of the board to recognise the inherent shortcomings of Richard Graham's coaching ability. If he had a single poor season then I can understand how the board could countenance such a move, but he has had...
Not sure if anyone else frequents kiwi websites, but here's a link to another report of RG being tipped to remain as head coach of the Reds next season.

I for the life of me cannot work out why the QRU have not announced a new coach or confirmed that they are formally seeking one and RG is in a caretaker role until the end of his contract. Alternatively they can announce RG has had his contract renewed.
I can understand that the Board is...
It would be refreshing news if Matt O'Connor is appointed, but I read in the Australian today that there was a renewed push from the board to reappoint Richard Graham. To me it beggars belief and they still acknowledged the risk of further fan disengagement and a player revolt, hardly a ringing...
