Title winners of the domestic competition and finalists the year before, Thorn has overhauled the Reds since his 2018 arrival.

The deal was finally reached after Thorn had shown some reluctance to commit during last season given the code’s financial uncertainties due to Covid-19.

      But with the 12-team Super Rugby Pacific confirmed from next season Thorn has locked himself in for what will take him into a fifth and sixth campaign with the side, the longest stint as Reds coach in two decades and equal-fourth longest in Queensland coaching history.

      Last season the Reds leveraged their dominance of the Super Rugby AU season to win the most games (nine) since 2013, equal a club-record 11-game winning streak at Suncorp Stadium and win three-straight matches against the Brumbies for the first time.

      Assistants Jim McKay (attack), Michael Todd (defence) and Cameron Lillicrap (set-piece and skills) all committing until 2023 as well.

      “I’m honoured to be staying with the club for another two seasons,” the former dual-code international Thorn said.

      “It’s great to have Michael Todd, Jim McKay and Cameron Lillicrap on board as well. We’ve got great staff here. As a head coach, you need good people around you.

      “We got some good pay this year for the hard work put in. It was an important achievement for the team, and our Queensland supporters to win the AU title.

      “However, the New Zealand sides showed us there is still some way to go, and we’re looking forward to the challenge ahead.”

      My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
