What's Wrong at Redcliffe?

[XXXX Cap]

Five rounds into the season and the usual Redcliffe powerhouse across the grades is totally missing -

Queensland Cup - 1 from 5 (a one point win against Souths)

Colts - 0 from 5 (For and Against of -88)

Mal Meninga Cup - 0 from 5 (For and Against of -70)


Normally particularly strong in the underage teams, any thoughts?

Also 1 for 4 in the BRL too

Looked particularly rudderless and kicking game non existent against the Jets. Certainly had enough ball in the second half but didn't score a single point.

Losing Cameron Cullen before the season even started hasn't helped and attack seems to be issue atm in the opening rounds.

As for the underage teams, I can't answer that. It's certainly the worst start I remember seeing the club endure since following them.

MM for the Dolphins is a mix-match of players from right across QLD.

HDC the same.

I guess talented age groups comes in waves.

1988 all over again

It just gets even worse today for Redcliffe with hidings in all 3 grades against Townsville and a loss to the Diehards in the BRL.

What a terrible season this is turning out to be

Bring back Von Stanke.

And nobody saw it coming. Losing your halfback for the season is undoubtedly a setback but a season like this from a highly successful club smells of disquiet at the place.

Shades of 1975 - defending Premiers Valleys finished last (disquiet at the club) and 1974 Wooden Spooners Wests won the Premiership. Not sure if Mackay can make that history happen again.

Redcliffe were ordinary tonight. Burleigh beat them 48 - 0
