Anybody know what was behind the decision to drop Tate?

Let us know if anyone sees Henry around a BCF over the next few days, and we might have an answer. I thought after channel 9 made their announcement we might know a bit more by now, but it's kind of nice to see the squad bonding as a team and keeping out of the headlines a bit.

Nope. I know a few they have retained but that's as much as I know. Anybody keen for a camping trip? hehe

I'd love to know the signings and losses. I know that the squad is going on a camping trip together this week, so they must have completed signings.

Look at the squad from 2020. In covid times, they want to sign men that can step up if required. My opinion is that these kids need to be signed as academy players with the clause that they must play QPR at the very least. I do have some insider knowledge of academy players and those who have...

I don't think there should be a massive focus on signing kids straight out of school. There are plenty of young 20ish year olds who have played in QPR or in other comps against men and I think that should be the focus. I am not surprised that the reds have not signed a bunch of teens. On top of...

Let's try building up a competitive comp with the Aussie teams to get people interested in playing for these teams, as well as human people watching the games ;).

I do not think Hamish is a good idea this year.

We talk up these young players who we have barely blooded and then completely turn on them as soon as they have a bad game. It is obvious a lot of these boys are wallabies too soon, and a few won't be again because they are in there too soon. The 23 today have shown that they have skills, but...

He has the makings of a beast of a winger, up there with the best. Please (praise the lord) don't try and convert him to a centre or 15.

He was captain at BBC. btw totally agree that clubs with good reputations are very tempting if a young bloke is given a similar offer. If I got the same offer from the reds and brumbies I would maybe go Brumbies because they have such a great system down there. It doesn't mean you aren't...

It was just a fantasy team of all high class players (top tiers I suppose you may say). Just a way to fit in the best talent.

Moving Petaia to fullback would be interesting. Would be a very good-looking backline. 9. Tate 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 11. dangunu (FFS it's Daugunu!) 12. - Somebody who can be a playmaker 13. Paisami 14. Vunivalu 15. Petaia

He can definitely put a shot on but I still think he needs work. As far as I am concerned, Hamish Stewart was a mostly defensive 12 this year, with many tackles and a fairly small contribution in attack so I think the team that was suggested earlier would require some good defensive coaching and...

I personally think it would take a while for Hunter to be a good 12. He likes to run the ball and is a pretty natural 13, plus his defence needs a fair bit of work.

Oh nevermind he is the downlands boy! Brain fart.

I think he has played 15 (don't quote me), he has the boot for it. Plus I hear he is up 5 or 6 kgs from last season QPR so probably a lot stronger. Who does Mac Grealy play for? Sorry for the ignorance :/

Wonder what he said that ultimately caused that.

Or bring in Isaac Henry with the added bonus that the 2 of them have played together. Just a question here, but do we see Jock as the long term 15?

I am not associated with the piccone business at all. I am just saying that the Reds aren't going to give much to those still connected to him.
