From the Sydney Morning Herald. Good news for Reds and Wallabies

The Queensland Reds will roll the dice on its highest-profile gamble since Wendell Sailor when James O'Connor and Karmichael Hunt are officially unveiled as blue-chip signings in Brisbane on Friday night.

Neither man will be at the Reds Gala Ball but speculation about their whereabouts in 2015 can finally end when former Wallaby O'Connor and triple-code warrior Hunt are named as part of the revamped Reds Super Rugby squad.

 Well I hope James has matured, talented but immature he was no good for Ozzie rugby.

If one thinks of the pride that was instilled by those who had come before just to see it dragged down by some half talented punk who thought he was bigger than the game.

 A good coach would have been able to sort the young feller out , and I am not blaming Deans either as the ARU constantly out the ground out from under him.If you were young ,superfit ,good looking ,talented ,famous[ish] and rolling in dough how would you fare ? Hansen or Meyer would have no probs sorting him out and I think its a shame he didnt play for NZ .

 That is one of the most disgusting images ever seen of Todd the idiot. Someone was just commenting on his sacking," what has this world come to - when someone can't drink their own urine without fear of discrimination"

 Sorry kbbs and ozzies we cant comment as we lack experience with sort of thing.
Purely on rugby matters O'Connor hopefully will be back for the wobblies. Speight joins shortly and if Ewen selects his pack correctly there can be no reason to think the wobblies cant beat theap wee abs.

With Oz on the rise and Boks on a frighteningly fast downward spiral the Boks weak grip on the no. 2 ranking is in serious doubt. 
We sympathize with the sabbs who rant & rave about irrelevant matters to distract themselves but once in a while we must give them a reality check.

All the focus in Oz has been Karmichael hunt going to Rugby and not much said regarding Oconnor. The ARU has revealed that they topped up Hunts contract so they must have plans for him. He was an awesome league player and has played rugby before. Look forward to seeing him in a Red shirt.

 K.Hunt (what a name) played Australian Schoolboy Rugby in similar year to Horwill from memory...


I remember watching him @ the broncos as a 17yo playing first grade NRL - solid set of legs on this boy... by his own admission he doesn't have the genetics for AFL... but will bring similar skill set as folau...


Not as quick as Folau and more of a crash ball runner but NRL's best coach Wayne Bennett said hes never met a more courageous player... so heopfully Reds can get a decent forward pack to go with what should be a good number of quality backs...


Reds real problem is hanging on to their loser coach - give you the tip never trust a bloke with first name for a last name...

 Brycy, Wardad, JW and Claydog
You know the emphasis is on recycling here.  The piss was so full of raw beer - he was just recycling the beeer and got drunk twice over from the same beer.   That is really all there was to it .

  I think he deserves some recognition and the out cry in Oz has been surprising. The co-ordination to get this right while drunk must take some skill and is something I would have thought we as a nation would have admired. Gives a new meaning to "taking the piss"

CleverMike: yes there is a lot of recycling on this thread (and a few others), same old used up "arguments" about the AB "problems", lol.  
All about as depraved & desperate as the demented idiot "recycling" his beer.
