The reason we were the most under trained side related to travel time not allowing as much training as other sides, the next years draft suggests we will be in as bad shape with the amount travelling we have to do again.
Simon Cron: “People talk about winning and losing all the time and they are critical, but there’s a process to get into and it’s the ability to stay present, do your job and execute skills under pressure.”
Thats crap. Every team in the comp travels.
How many big moments in games did we fluff this year? It wasnt because of the travel it was because we didnt get it right on the traing track therefore we didnt get it right on the field. The guys are pro athletes not pro models.
I agree wholeheartedly Kala, but the reality is that the Reds job was advertised first and it carries with it a longstanding history of the ARU bending over backwards to keep the organisation happy (possibly something to do with the organisation's representation on the ARU board)
The Force job ad went out significantly afterwards and the Force have a long history of being shown the shitty end of the stick by everybody who is anybody in Aussie rugby.
We will not compete with the Reds on a level playing field, therefore the decision will come down to money. At the end of the day, the one holding the purse strings is the exact same organisation which has a majority representation of the other guys on it's board. They will NOT beat the salary package offered by the Reds to entice a guy away from Queensland and to Perth. As a matter of fact, I assume they will subsidise the payments for a guy to lure him from Perth to Queensland.
But that's just the cynic in me talking!

I agree, i think the ARU should offer the job to their preferred candidate and give them 48 hours to accept or move on to the next one. why do we have to wait for QLD to finish their process (when they hired Matt O'connor to take over from Graham in the first place)
Also think Sinderberry should resign anyway. Any other CEO that has overseen the downfall of the company they are responsible for would already have gone because they basically allowed for it to happen or didn't act soon enough to change the tides.
He should have resigned when we lost Emirates & failed to get a new naming right sponsor.
Us being the most under trained team is interesting - can't say i'm surprised, the evidence was out on the field ever week.
Do you have the data? Do you know by how far we were lacking in the training?
Beat me to it, I probably wasn't going to be as nice though
Kala - you make some very good points. But lets be fair for the moment - Queensland sacked Richard Graham 3 games in to the 2016 Season. Coach Foley was shown the door some 10 weeks later. The nature of the beast says that we and the Reds are going to be chasing the same coaching staff. Will we end up with the Reds leftovers - possibly. Unless we look in different places.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Inside Sauces (Marto) are saying Nick Stiles will get the nod. His preference is Todd Blackadder. Wonder if he's even applied.
P.S. He also said that the Force just can't compete financially to attract players (geez never figgered that one out) and should be wound up. Never heard that from over there before either.![]()

Not doubting your source but where did you get the info about the GPS data because if it's true the strength and conditioning bullshitters should also cop a bullet not that we didn't know they weren't performing their core roles to begin with.
Clean out that needed to happen has to be absolute and without mercy.
I agree fellow Kalaman that this next coaching appointment is going to be the most important signing in the Force's history and if it isn't the right man for the job then we won't have a team to support,last roll of the dice, end of story.
Just hope that the cheapest option is the best option thing doesn't rear it's ugly head.
Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.
