    Growden Trains His Sights on Graham.

    Didn't see this earlier in the week.

    P.S. Russell Barwick, who has been on the Force Bandwagon for a while now, also ribs him about his Force Wallaby selections - again. Looks like Grub is speaking directly to this forum at one stage too.

    Consider for a moment the JO'C rumour is true.

    Someone at the Red's and someone in the ARU wants JO'C to play for them, desperate for a spark he has the potential to bring, and considering their season who can blame them for looking. It also allows for him to be considered for the world cup (however I do not believe he is part of Link's plans)

    Consider it was only 6 months ago the Force was talking him as well, looking for that same spark and clinging to the belief his dismissal from Australian rugby had matured him sufficiently. However now looking at our on field performance and our lack of off field bad press, it is clear we don't need him. And for that matter don't want him, irrespective of any change of attitude.

    But back to the Red's, as long as DH is head coach, JO'C isn't a viable option. So it will be forced upon him and to do that is a big ask leaving DH in his current role. I don't think anyone can swallow that much pride, keep personal feelings out of it, nor remain as professional as will be required for him to coach that little scallywag.

    Prediction, DH will not be head coach at the Red's next year, JO'C will be part of their team line up DESPITE cries from the player squad. They will be overruled.

    Consequence is that a few key players will leave Queensland maybe more. A large percentage of the playing group won the title 3 years ago and will probably be quietly be considering their options to win another title at a NEW club. I think the Red's have a bit more of the slide down before they start the rise back to the top again. It's nothing against them though, all clubs tend to go through the cycle and very few don't. Consider the Crusaders and Brumbies as two of the exceptions.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, I feel for the Red's fans I really do. They have been shafted exactly as we have been by faceless men at the ARU and other eastern seaboard rugby heavyweights.

    I do hope TIC and TOCC let us know what they think - where are you?

    TIF - I have the feeling that by you popping his twitter tag up here, some others (not YET blocked) may take up the cause ...??

    I just 'hashtag' him in my tweets. Or tweet his editor instead. Can still get the message out there but avoid blocking. There are a surprising number of people from all Aus rugby provinces who loathe him! Most seem to regard him as a washed-up, irrelevant has-been who should retire gracefully.
