    Record for Rangas???

    Is our current side setting a world record for the number of red heads taking the field?

    I have a long held philosophy that every truly great team had at least ONE redhead. We are going for one on every line.

    Mainstays - Red and Proud.
    Richards and Jones down back.
    Baker and Treloar in the mids.

    Then there are the redhead 'adjacent' players:
    Bramble? Yes or no?
    Dale? Yes or No?
    Harmes? Yes or No?

    ...

    And Weightman? Yes or No?

    I feel like I have missed someone...I could like, check the website but redheads have a sneaky habit of going blonde to cover up the ginger (and the fury that is just below the surface)?

    Thoughts? Are we changing from Red, White and Blue to RED, white and blue??
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    We have an impressive history of Rangas at our club. Who is our club's greatest? You'd have to start with Brownlow Medallists Brad Hardie and Adam Cooney. Add Aker to the list too.

    I reckon Treloar & Weightman are more blond than red. Dale & Harmes not sure. Bramble more redhead. But yeah we?ve got our fair share!!

    Let's not use the term Ranga.

    Have a look at his draft photos...regular access to a hairdresser does not make you blonde!!

    From google. "Ranga" is a slang term used in New Zealand and Australians to refer to a person with red hair and is an abbreviation of "orangutan", a primate. It is considered an insult.

    What should the correct term be?

    Is it still OK to call someone "Bluey" like Bluey Hampshire?

    Definitely don't think Weightman is.

    A shame we delisted Tim O'Brien.

    Hmm - I've looked back. I'm on the fence, depends on how early he started hiding his true self

    This is seemingly red ish.
