I made mention of the reds scrum getting destroyed against the Tahs last week and a lot of people responded with the ref was terrible etc. etc. it was no better against the brumbies.... Hopefully holmes can add something when he is back.

TBD - essentially we don't have any depth in our colts at Souths. Premier Colts game was a bit of a scrap with a lot of penalties and Souths were able to dominate around the breakdown and Bond didn't have the opportunity to use some of there dangerous backs. We have lost a lot of players to...

TrainerGB, its a very good point you raise. I have spent several years working on referee boards/referee training (for a long time in NSW) and I do note there is another forum for this so don't want to cross over too much.. but this is something which actually arises a fair bit. The bottom...

Souths were a bit disappointing I must say on the weekend. They came out stronger in the second half but needed to be far more aggressive at the breakdown and were a little lacklustre with attacking shape. Gotta make the most of these early rounds. Congrats to the winning clubs this week -...

What do you think it is with Richard Graham and Steve Meehan as coaches in Super Rugby? Both have had success overseas (Meehan in particular) but average in Australia - Meehan took a running and attacking brand of rugby to the northern hemisphere and it payed off against bigger and slower sides...

Bring back Michael Foley and Richard Graham ! What a duo.

TBD, I have heard this morning from a GPS mouth that matt winkley the S&C coach has left the club due to issues with the new coach. That is pretty big news as I understand Winkley spent big dollars on the gym upgrade in an agreement with the club so he could run his business out of there...

Did Stower get injured? seems like an early retirement for someone who just broke into consistent premier grade form, he was one of the names being whispered around at Souths with a connection to Picone and Newstars sevens program.

yes I agree in the long term.... BUT they don't have a replacement now. - I feel that the reds must either act now with an interim or wait until the end of this season... what good is playing it by ear on the next few results? we all know the reds aren't miraculously going to win the remaining...

TBD, how are the gps teams settling in? how is the new coaching set up going throughout the grades? I see the premier grade side went down to a very handy reds 20s side over the weekend but from all reports this was very much a squad?

Certainly agree with the sentiment of the value of fans Ash, but the point raised being the reds clearly haven't sacked RG yet, if they are going to do it - why don't they? as I said before if they win against the brumbies does he keep the job? if sacking Graham is the go they need to do it now...

Anyone got any news on the GPS Colts this year? First proper hit out this weekend coming against easts

TBD, My first year not having any involvement in some way with the colts program at souths in nearly 10 years so I am a little bit out of it admittedly. they have recruited some new coaching staff but are struggling with numbers (not having a colts 2 side this year). Hopefully we have a big...

Any people riped up with news of GPS colts for this weekend? any of those big news returning? Tuttle ? Magnay (reds duties of course) Sester? the back 3? (unsure of there names)

The reds will be put in no better position by sacking RG... all this chat about "if they lose to the brumbies he is gone"... what if they beat the brumbies and then lose the next game? your back to square 1... bottom line is if they are to sack RG now they are going to have to pay out his...

So do you think that RG getting sacked will improve QLD rugby this year? sacking him immediately? even though his contract is up at the end of the season? with no replacement - an interim coach perhaps? Stiles? Meehan? no....

I agree 100% here mate, at the end of the day there are attack coaches, defence coaches, set piece coaches, sand c coaches all who contribute to the overall process of this. Is sacking RG really the answer to the reds problems without a viable back up? or are there more onerous matters which can...

Hi all, I am new to the forums so great to be apart of the rugby fraternity... Does anybody have any information on Bond Uni Colts? I understand they have a top coaching group and some good players but had a disappointing start last weekend? Are they going to struggle this year or where the a...
