Queensland Reds 2024

Very interesting. I have travelled to Tonga many times and it is a beautiful place. It is quite different to some of the other islands in that Pacific region though in terms of infrastructure and stability. It will definitely be a touring experience!

Can we appeal and ask for 6 weeks?

Great chat with Toomaga-Allen on this weeks Socks Up podcast. I've really enjoyed what he's brought to the team, on and off the field. Was also great to hear how Les won him over and that he actually swooped in to sign him when the Force had been talking to him.

 

[RugbyReg]

Yep was going to post the same. Great guy. Les knew what he was wanting from him - both on and off the field.

Makes me pretty excited to see who he brings in for next year now that he's had a season with the team

Makes me more confused why he’s persistent with Vunivalu and we have him in 2025.

perhaps we don't see the off-field stuff he does

He's organising the end of season trip for the team.

I have to laugh at the stories he puts up of the card games he and his wife play with the young fellas. Truly mum and dad looking after the kids!

I don't think it's any more complicated than 16 tries from 34 starts

Doing his best to bring it forward a couple of weeks

I'm all for it as it's sure to be a decent money earner.

Just don't see it going down well with the locals in the area though... Have they hosted concerts/festivals at Ballymore before?

Not to mention the planning controls. Must have stretched the definitions to the limit to get that through (assuming the Queensland gov support means it has got through)

Well if its a success it will be a welcome one. Reds look like they're running themselves really well and spending it well, with these tours.

I just hope they can use some of the money to support a strong state public schools comp.

You mean like the 1000 State u15 and u17 schoolgirls at Ballymore last weekend for the State Championships?
