I think there should be some reward for knocking off the top dogs in a knock out final. I like finals being unpredictable and that on any given day any team can win one game. The Chiefs/Crusaders only have to win 2 games to be Super Rugby champions and are guaranteed a home semi. It doesn't...

The Crusaders doing well without Mo'unga whilst horrible for Super Rugby is at the detriment of the All Blacks. Richie will stay in Japan earning easy money rather than be the savior NZRU wants. It's in everyones best interests for Penney to throw this one.

Yeah seems like a stupid system that doesn't really emphasize that it's do or die. If they want to keep this finals format, then the winner of each game keeps the highest seed position i.e. if the Blues beat the Chiefs, they go to 1, if the Reds beat the Crusaders they go 2. The Chiefs can...

Simply getting an extra prop in Ross and a decent centre to replace Henry would be instant stregnthing given neither Gibbon or Henry laced up this year.

I dunno cheese I don't recall seeing too much discourse around Angus. He's always done a job for the Reds, just had some silly penalties in his game. His attitude and always up for the game will be sorely missed at the Reds. I cant think of any other player in the squad who would sacrifice...

Just understand that it's all about the money. The most logical system would be 1 & 2 get a bye week 3 plays 6, 4 and 5 play off. Winners then play 1 & 2. Buuuuuuutttttt if we did that, there would be one less match to put on TV. 7 & 8 should have had a final to be deemed best loser aka a...

Sure but the Refs association needs to show some leadership and demonstrate that the reffing quality isn't acceptable. Williams and Doleman have consistently over the last few seasons been absolutely poor. These aren't one off games either.

Odd thing about Wilson was he jogged off and straight into the tunnel for the lockers. Normally anyone injured goes down the middle tunnel, so I was half hoping he had to take a shit.

Did I hear right that Lukhan said he won't be back unless we make the semi finals?

Bloody unreal work by Lachy and Junkyard Dog tonight.

I'm in the opposite camp. We've seen through alcohol prohibition or the war on drugs that saying something is bad and naughty isn't the solution. As someone with no dog in the fight, I can't see how society will have no problem with Boxing or UFC, but we draw the line here for "safety. Asking...

Also, I saw JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen) snuck in his IG story that he extended for another year at the Reds this week.

This season has showed there's room for all of them as the starting backrow have all been injured for extended periods. Add in the fact that 2026 and 2027 will no doubt invovle more rotation there will be a heap of game time. I'm sure the Reds will have planned more games in Japan and the UK...

Phil, to fill up your glass, the Crusaders had a injury plagued season last year and look what happened. I don't think it's helped that we have played both the Crusaders and Chiefs away this year either. For me, the biggest disappointment is the lack of a home final this year. That should be...
