[QUOTE="The_Wol, post: 999202, member: 37787"] The Aussie media is the worst for fear monging and blaming everything but us. Imagine how much worse it would be if someone like Phil Kearns got the top job. I can agree with you the Reds are very much a work in progress and if we can keep the playerbase together the next year or two should be great. Especially with our 3 loose forwards looking like they could be Wallabies stalwarts for years to come (McReight, Wright and Wilson) The biggest issue the Reds have going forwards is we have no clear playmaker. Without a specialist 10 (We have one signed we just haven't used him yet Carter Gordon remember that name if he ever gets a run he has the potential to be great) we are kind of just floating with JOC. The Sharks however seem to constantly float between top 5 and the middle. They don't seem to suffer like the Bulls and the Stormers do. I'm not sure if it's just the development in Durban is better than the other areas or the fact they aren't scared to bench a player who isn't performing and try a rookie. where as the other RSA teams will stick with the brand name regardless of if they're playing like dirt. The Bulls fall from the grace has been the hardest of all the teams. Look at the Reds score in that 41 - 17 and the Bulls didn't score a single point after the 18 minute mark. For the record my teams that I go for outside of Australia in the Super Rugby are the Sharks and the Hurricanes (two of my cousins have played for the Hurricanes and the Chiefs in the past few years) [/QUOTE]
