The fuck did we let Jonah go for?
I really, really don't like this policy of holding out on announcements until July. You know what would help restore some faith in a floundering organization.. how about some fucking basic transparency to start?
Getting into numpty bullshit territory now.
Then again, this is the Marketing/PR team that thought playing music during stretches of play was a good idea.
Definitely reaching the end of my rope now.

Interesting. That seems like very specific destinations for the potential departing guys.
Losing Jonah would be a blow, although his form at the U20s has been down on where he was last year (which was absolutely awesome) hard to know what to make of that.
Clearly RG rates him, as he played a pre-season trial and made his debut ahead of a few other candidates this year.
I need to hear some bloody signings soon!

Even fewer actually know anything about his coaching.

For the Rebels, losing Jason Woodward next season is a massive step backwards.
They would see Placid as a potential face saver, and are obviously able to throw money and opportunity of run on player to him.
As much as this hurts me as a Reds fan, it's good for Australian Rugby competition and that is important.

Placid is a big loss for the future
Albert Anae is moving to a italian club... Another loss

Very amusing, but I agree, it does have that mysterious and unknown quality.

Placid was a C Latham in the making - huge talent, huge potential, and lack of a real 15 has hampered the Reds for some time, and is likely to do so in the future.

Well, at least he is remaining in Union, there was a lot of interest from NRL clubs

If the Reds fall into another pre-2010 heap, the consequences for Aus rugby will be far, far more serious than some uncertain notion of propping up the cash flow haemorrhaging Rebels that might not exist by 2017, their commercial and financial viability is so dubious.
Oh crap.

Ah please, save the post apocalyptic talk until the seasons over and next seasons roster is released..
If the Reds finish with Karmichael Hunt and JOC (James O'Connor) for 2015 then losing Placid and Harris will be nothing more then collateral damage..
Regardless, the Reds still have their core playing group, as an avid supporter from the pre-2010 era, I can attest that losing the likes of Sharpe, Barnes etc is significantly more dire then losing Davies, Harris, Anae and Owen...
See what happens when you leave them. It all turns to custard.
Queensland needs you @RugbyReg.

RH you make some valid points but it is getting tiring that every time a couple of players (mind you most fringe players at best - Placid has he even debuted?) using it as a justification to push your agenda.

I think it's a great thing for Australian Rugby that Placid is off elsewhere - he may be exposed to a different kind of coaching and mentoring that takes him to a much higher level.
If he is all that everyone says he will be, then he needs to be exposed to quality coaching to allow him to develop fully.

Really though, the guys at Reds HQ need to start announcing something because from my end the past few months have been nothing but a veritable PR/Marketing disaster.
This whole not announcing the team recruits until July while we're currently just losing loads of players during a horrible season is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever experienced coming out of Ballymore.
'Any' press is no longer good press when the crowd figures are dropping. Give the media something positive talk about or better yet, speculate about (LIKE @#$%&*^ PLAYER SIGNINGS) and at the very least save some face for the brand after this mess of a season.
That's what all the Maurist boys reckon. As far as I am concerned though, he could have all the technical expertise and know how in the world but if he has a track record of not getting results... he's not a good coach.
