Big miss from the ref on that tackle from the ground

How is that not a straight red?

Pretty strong team. I thought Kalani finished last season quite strongly so looking forward to seeing what he can do this weekend. Hard not to see the Reds getting up by at least 60 here given we beat the Force by 50. And their fans are relatively passionate.

More than a few players were literally emotionally embracing her in the seconds after the final hooter. Must have been well loved by the squad.

Only about 13.5k as per the announcement at the ground. Staff were letting pundits move into the shade, thankfully, which packed the Western side in the lower deck. Reds marketing team will have to work hard to get ticket sales with more competition at Suncorp this year. Hindsight is 20-20 but...

Dempsey gets man of the match in a game where Scottish 10 Blair Kinghorn scores a hat-trick of tries. He has a big motor but other than for depth I don't think we are missing him with the genuine points of difference we have at 6/8. Likewise with Hansen and Tuipulotu, they are classy players...

I am still grappling with the long term nature of the deal also. His track record is of diminishing returns and it's not yet exactly clear what his role will be later in the term. Almost certain that standards will be lifted significantly in the short term though.

Yeah but in the case of the western freeway during peak hour you may as well be in the next Mad Max movie.

Any word on Ala'alatoa? Brumbies with a significantly more experienced/vaunted tight 5 which could be the key to unlocking their backs to run riot. If the Reds can get close to parity there then I'd back our 6-15 over the Brumbies'. That's a big if.

For Qld's GPS I was once (many years ago) punished for not showing up to a fourths rugby match and reminded that I had signed a commitment to the school when I was 12. Still makes me smile.

Turner was so underrated. Vunivalu has been generally great when he's been on the park for Qld.

Sure I would love to have him but at the expense of who in this reds team? Back 3 is already very congested with wallabies capped players.

Hey I work in mining myself :) every state has to have at least one thing, I guess no one told you guys that it didn't just have to be rocks.

Extremely generous to call Perth a city.

The Force must be Poland in this analogy

Now this a proper match thread the likes of which we haven't seen for a while.

Last time I posted that video years back we got smashed so I'm hoping it's not a mocker. Because really they are a bunch of cunce and we should absolutely roll them for that reason.

Yep, valid. I meant more so being a genuine contender for winning a title, of which many finalists are not.

There is a possible Peter Principle phenomenon here whereby Thorn has been able to competently head coach U20s, NRC, SuperAU, but has now found himself without the competency at this stage of his coaching career for Super Rugby proper. This is a tough competition and it is unreasonable to...

He was in good form but that was coming off 2-3 years of doing nothing which saw him as incumbent lose his spot to Slipper at the Brumbies and drop out of the Wallabies squad altogether. Slipper on the other hand hasn't really ever played two bad games in a row.
