[QUOTE="unrated, post: 999200, member: 45773"] We beat the Reds this year at Suncorp 33-22. They Talked about a Reds redemption this year and their project is looking good, I will agree with that. They have always been a good side, especially since that one year where I think they won the comp with Quade? Can't remember that well now. But yea man we managed to beat you convincingly at your home, then smashed the Rebels at their second home(awesome little stadium with grass banks), then it was Covid lockdown. It obviously goes in phases I can agree to that and yes you are right that sometimes we are also dead in the water for a year or so. But I can't agree with your opinion that the Reds are that good now. They are good but not a top 4 or 6 Super rugby team just yet. Maybe next year when their project gains momentum. You guys also don't have to deal with a player drain as extreme as ours , yet we can still remain relatively consistent even if that consistent means losing to NZ teams (Crusaders) in the playoffs. Our Youth catchment, Schools and academies are miles ahead of the Aussies when it comes to rugby. So from a performance perspective the Aussies must up their whole system if they dont want to be a heavy weight to Super rugby. On a last note. I have always feared the Wallabies .Especially when I was still in School. Then it was just as hard to beat the Wallabies as it was to beat the All Blacks. They have weakened for now but I'm sure they will have a good run soon, especially with Rennie. But hearing Aussie media constantly wine and moan about Super rugby and creating bad media coverage about it has me feeling that if you don't like it then GTFO. If you like it then stay and stop bad mouthing. There is clear benefits to the SANZAAR alliance. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. [/QUOTE]
