I've loved watching test cricket all my life, and will still happily watch it for hours on end if I'm allowed to. So it took me quite a few years to get into the BBL and T20 in general, but I quite like it now. I've taken the family to see 2 Heat matches over the last couple of weeks. Ticket prices...

McReight is the one. I started the year as a skeptic. He’s a ridiculous player, a natural leader and extremely well spoken. He’s not your usual candidate. Australia will love him. Maybe Tupou would be awesome, but I’m not sure he’s done the job before so it seems pretty random. Anyway, I jumped on ...

Good call. Too much of an ego ruined his talent.

Yeah, he could have played 150 tests for the Wobs. Still has a few years to go so may well end up with 70 or 80 caps anyway though.

Has anyone mentioned Rupeni yet? Possibly the greatest attacking player ever, in the body of a prop.

mojo

Perhaps they'll continue with the games, but in closed stadiums. I believe the AFL are considering this option, and probably other sports too.

And why the fudge is McDermott not starting?

Teams updated in the OP. Bryce Hegarty on the wing for the Reds. Assume this is to get someone with half a chance of kicking a goal onto the field, but seems a bit odd. I suppose he'll spend a fair bit of time at fullback though. Not sure about the forward changes either. With no Smith or Rodda, its...

I hope the effort I put into making the OP is appreciated. Thank you. So this is the match in which Towny et al promised that the Reds would scrum the Bulls stukkend. I look forward to watching. The Reds starting scrum is decent. Things start going downhill pretty quickly once the subs start coming...

Dave Aldred, Johnny Wilkinson's ex-coach, is the Reds goal kicking coach isn't he? Yeah, he was around for the last year or 2 but doesn't seem to listed on the Reds website anymore, so assuming he's goooooooone. Very bad planning if this is the case, their kicking (both for goal and general play) i...

Well done Saders.

Entertaining game, despite all the mistakes from both teams.

First order of business for the Reds, find a kicking coach. If we already have one, shoot him and get another.

Championitis. They just expect it to work.
It generally does. Is this their one shit game for the year?

Lets hope so.

Well done Sharks, way to good in the end, particularly over the closing stages. Bad night for the Reds. Lineout shit all night - how many throws did we lose 5 meters out from their line? Scrum shit when the subs started coming on. Aside from one or 2 nice moments, our attack was pretty poor, couldn'...

It’s fair to say QLD (with the exception of Mt Isa and Townsville) is the last bastion of safety in Australia. I nearly got rolled in Charters Towers recently. It was weird as I haven't had a fight or flight response like it in decades. West Wyalong for me. In fact, there are plenty of weird, cousi...

Fvck. Luckless Reds youngster Jordan Petaia is set to miss the rest of the Super Rugby season with a shoulder injury. The Reds confirmed on Wednesday that a shoulder dislocation Petaia suffered while the team were in Argentina would require surgery, sidelining him for up to 20 weeks. Poor bastard ca...

Any news on JP's shoulder yet?

After 3 tough weeks on the road, will the Reds first home game of the season be the start of their march towards finals rugby for the first time since 2013?

No, probably not. But I'll be there to watch it anyway.

Well I haven't had a good look at all the numbers that have been posted in this thread, but at first glance it would appear that my boys are playing for the club with the highest fees in the rugby playing world. Excellent. I just looked at Brothers, GPS and Souths. GPS and Souths are the same as Su...

These Brissie prices seem a fair bit higher than what they are charging in Sydney. My local junior club is $150, which is pretty much what the competitors (league, AFL, cricket) charge as well. Soccer is the exception being higher That settles it, I'm moving to Sydney! They sell XXXX down there rig...

That's a bit steep, mojo. I signed both my boys up at Sunnybank this year (one in U9 and the other in U13). $330 for the first kid and then $50 discount for the second ($610 all up). We get socks, shorts, training jersey and a playing jersey (given halfway through the season). Probably a drink bott...

The Brisbane JRU definitely get some of it, not sure what the breakup is though. I would be extremely pissed off if I found out any of it is going to fund the Folau payout.

It's going to cost me $385 per kid to sign my boys up at Easts this year. $770 for 2 boys to train for an hour on Friday nights, and play for 40 minutes on Saturday morning.

Brumbies would be happy to jag 2 points I'm sure. Would be disappointing for the Reds though.

What's the reason for Rodda on the bench? Coming back from injury, or too many pies over the off season?
