is it just me or just like when Quade was under Robbie deans he is playing absolutely crap under RG . I can't help thinking that QC has chucked the toys out and is just doing his own thing as he sees fit . in most of the second half tries the crusaders scored he was somewhere about or his execution lead to the saders with the ball . his form recently mirrors that which got him into hot water with Deans . something to watch as the saeson unfolds . wonder if he will keep his mouth shut this time around
Genia 's game is very one dimensional these days , teams are doing their hoemwork really well on him and he doesn't have a plan b yet.
Reds are well and truly done now and are definte wooden spoon contenders with the cheetahs .
Graham is really in and is the poo... He should wield the axe if he wants to keep his job, the old guard of horwill, genia and cooper is letting the team down big time. Start them from the bench to make them hungry. He has nothing to lose to blood new players like Browning and McDuling at this point in time.
Horwill looked bewildered at the post match press conference. Even regurgitating graham's hollow platitudes seemed pointless. There was dead air for about 10 seconds when he was asked to describe their performance. no one has absolutely any clue. I think their crowds will plummet next season which is terrible for QLD rugby and the ARU because of the woeful state of the financial coffers.
Will be even worse if they lose a few Wallaby contracts on the back of such a woeful S15 season
I think the problem is that he truly doesn't understand why teams he coaches suck so much. He thought by moving to a team where the player depth was better he would be able to have a bit more success. The Force have yet to get rid of all the players he brought west (made a pretty bloody good show of it this year though) and are smashing it with him missing.
I think he's simply a poor motivator, the Force haven't changed all that much since he was here, the majority of the team (particularly the pack) is the same and it's only the fringe that has experienced major personnel changes (blokes like Heiberg, Stander, Brache, Holmes etc) there hasn't been a big change with the starting 15 (OK Morahan, but he's been down for quite a bit and we're back to DHP, Gus Cotterell has stepped up, Alby has come in) that indicates that the cattle WERE here when he was, he just didn't know how to get them playing good footy.
Horwill has always been a whiny bitch, but that didn't infect his game until this season. Now he plays like he's entitled and that SHOULD cost him a gold jersey. Quade is the only one who hasn't been entranced by the Dicknosis (but that hasn't necessarily helped his game, hes back to doing everything himself and brain farts are a huge part of his charm)
The Reds will prop up the comp this year, it remains to be seen whether Dick can blow enough influential Queenslanders to keep his job.

This is exactly what we Force fans said would happen when Graham left us in a pile of shit and took over the reds. Even a season under Link hasn't improved his coaching ability. I can't believe that he still has a job. I can imagine that there will be no line of suiters waiting to sign him when he gets the flick this time.

Yeah sorry mate, I just can't kick this grudge.
It's pretty bloody sweet seeing Dick prove beyond any reasonable doubt that he was the reason the Force didn't know how to win. It just makes it better that it's happening in the backyard of Digby, Genia, Horan, Martin and all those other soulless belters.
I look at Reds matches where them winning will give us an advantage in the competition and know I should be cheering for the Reds, but find myself giggling whilst they implode.
I think, in a Reds vs Tahs game, I would find myself backing the Tahs, because they can't BOTH lose!
