    I would imagine every little rat would be desperately trying to leave SS Graham.

    Just about every player not contracted next year and doesn't have other ties to Brisbane would be also jumping ship. Harris and Shipperley made the right choice to go south last year. Starting to feel sorry for the Reds. It will take them a decade to dig them out of their current malaise. not really good for AUS rugby as a whole.

    "Graham slammed his side's output on Friday, calling the performance disgraceful. "There are absolutely no excuses for that performance other than it lacked character and integrity," he said."

    That attitude is part of the problem. He would get more respect if he took responsibility and deflected criticism away from the players. Good coaches usually do that while at the same time letting them have both barrels behind the change room doors.

    Dick's manager must be an absolute legend, look at the jobs he's got him in the last few years. He can sell anything.

    Haha - classic stuff. Graham is a buffoon. The Reds are run by buffoons.

    Drotske is leaving the Cheetahs. He could be the perfect foil for knuckles.

    Don't get me started, judging by what happened to Genia after he sung it, Knuckles will end up with the Wallaby job after he sings the first line. Maybe that's Dick's problem - c'mon Dick, it maybe your last chance, drop all those mardy pretensions, and stat programs, and whatnot - get maggoted with the boys, get your kit off, and give the team song a burl - it could be the start of something.
