Reds to permanently wear maroon jersey in 2019
The club today announced at its annual long lunch that players will wear the traditional maroon strip for the entirety of next season in a nod to 125 years of rich Queensland rugby history. The strip has become a fan favourite since being reintroduced in 2017 by former coach Nick Stiles for the team's clash with the Waratahs. It was worn in both Reds-Waratahs showdowns this year and NSW introduced a similar heritage jersey this season to honour the occasion.The maroon kit Queensland first wore in 1894 carried them through until 2006. That's when the jersey transformed to the red strip the team has worn until now.

Haven't they always been called the Reds? (Not officially, but casually.)

MMac is off contract, isn't he?
That can be the only reason, as his replacement. So no chance for Fletcher Smith then.

Had a quick word with Tana at the Northland v Waikato game today,only 3 x spots left to fill in the Blues..would not elaborate on which positions..!

Could still be space, depends if they see him/Debreczini as 15 option to. Looking at Chiefs discussion page, heaps of spots available for 2019 across all positions in backs except 9.

He’s probably already locked in those 3 spots from the Auckland 1st XV competition.
Seriously though, I don’t think many of the Northland guys would’ve done their chances any good. Might have been a few from the opposition that he was looking at though..

@kiwimurph all the first fives the Blues have selected since 2003 have worked really well.!..to me the jury is still out on Plummer and Perofeta at super level Perofeta especially..!,Plummer looks promising but super rugby is a different level..Otere Black will definitely start as the Blues no1 but let’s not forget he was the number 2 at the Canes.
Purely from a Northland piece delighted that Debreczeni has secured a contract,we have not had decent pivot at the Taniwha since David Holwell wore the 10 jersey.
We don’t have the depth that Auckland has neither the money,so guys picking up contracts is huge as seen by the Tasmans of this world..! -

That is fucking terrible - the Chiefs need a slap for that signing.
I guess he's theoretically available for NZ but he's not good and we'd be better to promote a young NZer.
