Tupou being demoted to the bench again is hardly going to help matters if the rumour about him wanting an early release from the Reds is true. Having said that, something is not right with Tupou at the moment. I don't think he's been in great form this year and the Smith brothers are playing...

This is an extremely childish remark. Maybe try to lighten up a little. This is meant to be a friendly place.

Unless Hamish is going to move to the south of France, that would be a very bad bet to make. https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2018/12/17/paiaaua-toulon-bound-2019

I get the impression that Thorn's idea of a flyhalf's role is quite different from most other coaches. He doesn't seem at all interested in a 10 that directs the game. We saw this first with the exiling of Quade and replacing him with Jonno Lance. Jonno is a very good player, but not exactly...

What's the story with Andrew Ready? Is he injured or just out of favour with big bad Brad? Not that there's miles of difference between Ready, Mafi & Paenga-Amosa but I thought Ready might have nabbed the bench spot this week since Mafi didn't do anything of particular note last week (not...

Nerves of steel from Chucky Stannard to win it for the good guys with a penalty kick after the siren: http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5a76d6d54777b/KBDYrpCsGv35mFqP.mp4

2018 jersey is out. Looks the goods I reckon. Definitely liking the darker shade of red. I wonder if they're setting it up for a transition back to maroon in 2019? Doesn't appear to be an away/clash jersey out yet, but there is a nice maroon 'Heritage' jersey so I wonder if they will wear that...

Wouldn't read to much into that Reg, after all the same website still has Quade and Pickle listed on the squad page: http://www.redsrugby.com.au/Reds/SuperRugbySquad.aspx We can only hope that Big Bad Brad has told Cordingley that he is not in his plans for 2018 and to manage his club side...

Anyone else thinking that maybe the Reds are going to be wearing maroon for their home jersey in 2018? There maroon jersey they wore against the Tahs this year was very popular, and there's been a lot more use of maroon in the membership promos and general marketing material this time. I...

This all seems very strange indeed. Why was Quade (and Frisby if it's true that he's gone as well) officially included in the squad announced this week if he was going to be cut?

Good news but I hope they didn't pay him as much as last time, we haven't really got our money's worth yet IMO.

I hope so, I love Kerevi but he seems to be a bit of a flat track bully. Against Tier 1 opposition he just doesn't have the impact he does against lower teams or in Super Rugby. He got caught high in contact a fair few times tonight and got held up or turned over as a result. This is fixable by...

Geez, what is it with Foley and the AB's?!?!? 99% goal kicking success rate against everyone else, 30% against the darkness. That one wasn't even close!

Whoops, you're correct Reg, not sure why I thought Duncan got three. Impressive stuff from Daugunu. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Country finished with a wet sail, out to 54-5 before Rising nabbed a consolation score after the final siren to finish 54-12. Another impressive performance from Thorn's Country men, definitely title contenders this season. Duncan Paia'aua was my MOTM, he scored 3 tries (for the second match...

Make that 28-0 as Stewart goes over after Timu offloads basketball style close to the line. Can't wait to see Timu in Red next year. His leg drive in contact is relentless. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Another try for Country and with only 13 men on the field. 21-0 now. I have to say, this team looks well coached. I realise this Rising team is pretty green but still, Country have played well week in, week out. Don't want to get ahead of myself but if Thorn can get the Reds humming like this...

That's a very good squad, I think QCountry will be the better of the the two Qld teams this year. Simmons and Hocking lining up at 4 & 5 will make life tough for the commentators! Great opportunity for Tuttle, Stewart and Paia'aua to work on their combinations, plus Izzy Perese outside them -...

Hahahaha, can you imagine!? That would be hilarious (if all of the hotshot kiwi sides got knocked out in the Quarters/Semis by the Stormers and the Brumbies)! We can dream (that's all we have left really) :(
