D grade school prop and Reds tragic, will also get behind Cowboys and Broncos. Rarely miss watching a test match by Kangaroo's, Wallabies or Oz cricket. Also enjoy yacht racing.

I saw below Kitshof plays some big minutes. Pretty impressive stuff.

'He'd been flogged to death': Rebels GM's scathing Tupou claim as Wallaby battles to reignite his fire

I would love to see the minutes Tadhg Furlong has played over the past 3 years compared to Tupou.
I’m a big fan of T.T. but I think Stiles has his hand on it coming out with these statements.
I think Furlong is the benchmark for no. 3’s in the game.

I thought they had toughness Bobby!, what happened to Tah TOUGH?

Five things we learnt: Why Cheika could be the man to resurrect Tahs, Thor is the new Quade, value of sevens

Surely the smartest and most logical thing for the tahs is to finish the season with current coaching group. Review the season and call for expressions of interest for all coaching staff. (How is it that Whittaker never seems to be in the crosshairs?)

I think there are advantages in Super Rugby coaches working with National Coach Mirt.

RA want centralisation of players in the High Performance area. If Super Coaches are also working within the central framework it should make it easier when the squad comes together.

'We’d like to see Taniela stay': RA 'absolutely' want Thor for Lions, have 'contingency plans' for Rebels crisis

Ryan Coxon of the Force would be my pick for Loosehead prop of the round Christi.
He was in the thick of it for all of his stint. Bell let through a try which was a pretty ordinary effort.

Five things we learned: Schmidt's selection headache, Carter's a No.12 wildcard, and $1m Thor must step up

‘I’m bored with this disrespect’
Deal within it Sunshine!, until your team backs up a consistent season it will happen.
Reds are finding a high level of consistency hard after 3 from 5 and I don’t think they have been that consistent in a decade.
Force are 1 from 5, when was the last time the Force were 3 from 5 after round 5 – ever ?

Reds' 'unbelievable, unfathomable' double disaster sums up shocker as Force spring stunning upset

Good stuff Piru and well played to the Force, well deserved win.

I read the Age article too Ankers.
It does not paint a great picture of the Rebels Board and all this talk of legal action is not about the team going forward but the current Directors of the Rebels passing liability onto RA.

I would like to read the Participation Agreement between the franchise and RA.

Exclusive: Rebels threaten Civil War as peace talks with RA end in another blow for Super Rugby

The Rebels have had wealthy owners KPM
Inaugural owner Harold Mitchel handed the keys back to the ARU in 2013 as it was a loss maker.
Imperium Sports Management acquired the franchise in 2015 and sold it back to VRU for $1.
The franchise has been a financial loss maker since its inception- wealthy people usually like to make money, not lose it.

Exclusive: Rebels threaten Civil War as peace talks with RA end in another blow for Super Rugby

And if the Rebels Board think this course of action will help Rugby in OZ, then they are fools. Game is broke and they are just trying to recover their Directors loans.

Last time they played, tah tough was failing to trouble the scorers for the majority of the game then hoping to snatch a win after the other side missed 3 penalties and a conversion.

Wallabies Power Rankings: How every Test contender is shaping up one month into Super Rugby

I don’t see Mark M not being considered as some form of ‘punishment’ for his signing with the NRL.
I am being pragmatic about it, we have approx 10 tests before the Lions arrive and potential wingers such as Toole Pietsch or Flook needs some international experience.
Sending a young uncapped wing to make his debut v Lions to me is not a great strategy.
Same applies to Pereze.

Wallabies Power Rankings: How every Test contender is shaping up one month into Super Rugby

Force backrow should be up for it, all three have experience.

Super Rugby teams: Tupou benched, Jorgo back for Fiji trip, Petaia sidelined, Swain surprise

Time will tell Muglair. The media were screaming this and that about no coach and Waugh laid out a plan for the WallyB coach appointment that tied in the High Performance Dept.
High performance manager appointment would be first (tick)
Coach appointed (tick)
Sorting out the Rebels fiasco will be next I guess, so the mountain to climb becomes steeper.

Strong custodians or factional hacks pushing state agendas? The numbers that will decide future of Australian rugby

I would rather they bolster the engine room Don- throw some cash at towering lock Hockings playing in Japan.

Rugby tight 5 needs to be strong for the Lions.

Strong custodians or factional hacks pushing state agendas? The numbers that will decide future of Australian rugby

I sat at a Marist Ashgrove sportsman lunch last May and listened to John Eales talk to then RA Director Dan Herbert about the recent appointment of Phil Waugh as CEO.
Herbert gave Waugh a good rap noting he was an excellent pick for the job and made a jibe at the crowd that Qld should not fear an ex Tah as CEO.
So we have a Qld Chairman and Tah CEO who played together, know each other and have a working relationship- seems like a good result, they are aligned, and are slowly getting things done within the limitations of RA being cash poor.
Talk of petty factionalism problems is trying to find a problem where one does not exist.

They will player under Schmidt so I wouldn’t worry too much, history has shown no matter how poor the tahs perform they will still get picked for the Wallyb’s.

'Philosophical, disappointed but excited': Tahs lose another nail-biter as wasteful Blues hang on to make it 10 straight

Sef has form Hoy, he banged someone’s melon last year and copped a ban.
(Still think it is a crap decision)

The Wrap: Reds light up Melbourne, while it's lights out for TV over Lienert-Brown concussion

Terrible shame to see Isaac Henry leave the field assisted.
Huge talent and skills, poor run with injuries.

McReight masterclass, Uru statement: Reds smash Rebels in Aussie Super Rugby derby

Little vision, or little $ ?

RA reeling and facing a mass exodus of biggest stars - there are three key reasons why they're in peril

Reds one of the least penalised sides in the comp! Bugger me I never thought I would read that statement.

'Be useful': how unrivalled discipline and work rate is lifting the Reds to new heights

Good team Christy!

Five things we learned: Why Schmidt is in a better place than Rennie was, how Kiss has transformed Reds

Qld player does that in NZ and he would be shown the cheese.

'Over the moon': Reds deny Chiefs for 23 PHASES to win 'titanic' trans-Tasman clash as Kiss' revolution continues

I hope Schmidt gets Friend on board.
