All summed up by the penalty Nasser gave away in the last few minutes. Should have backed our defence in from there, but gave away a soft penalty with the ref screaming to leave it. Dumb, dumb, dumb…..

Nick Berry lets a lot of 50:50 calls go full stop, he likes to let play go on without needless interruption. Who that favours is very subjective. For me, if it hasn’t changed to outcome of the phase, play on….

How good to see a crowd on the field? Loved seeing spectators getting in around the post match interviews! Reminds me of the good old days at Ballymore……

Got that very wrong, life is shit!

The role of number 7 has changed significantly in the past few years. A open side flanker was once given a licence to roam, but most teams now play 6/7 as left edge/ right edge. With the modern interpretation of what’s required for a pilfer, it really only happens if someone makes a decent chop...

Totally agree with this sentiment, unfortunately not sure this is happening in the junior pathways. Big kids keep on getting picked because they win games at that level and the kid with the grit and skill set to play postions but lack size don’t get the recognition they deserve. Eventually the...

It was pretty simple really, we were soundly beaten at the breakdown in both games. Left us either short on numbers or out of alignment in both attack and defence and resulted in us being poor in both facets of play. Personally, I feel we have lost balance with our forward pack. There seems to...

Just got home last night from being over there for both the Fiji and Wales games. Haven’t read all this thread, so please excuse any previously mentioned things. The vibe after the Fiji game was we got physically beaten and a lot of people over there from other countries weren’t that surprised...

As an option that does worry me big time. hopefully the new HC is confident enough not to blow away what should be an asset.

Yeah the line up to the bar near the hill was nasty at times. I kept going around to the after party area behind the new stand and had no issues. The MC kept spruikiing the area plus the Eastern stand and concourse. Not sure why everyone lined up for a beer at one spot and not the others. Was...

Thoughts on Ballymore….. great looking facility, was happy to see the party area behind the stand getting set up for some live music and Bundy Rums. The flow around the place works well. Wonder if there is any plans for a player’s area though. The bench were sitting in the sun for the earlier...

I thought the same Reg, it was obviously dragged down, penalty at least. The Stan replay also shows Wests getting the ball down off the next play which you couldn’t see live. The refs were in good position to make a call, you can’t award what you can’t see, so don’t think there is an issue...

Ha, didn't say I want the Filth to win , just think they might get up is all, hence my comment that followed. Yes UQ has a healthy lead in premiership titles over Brothers.

Yeah agree, Brothers are coming in hot. Think Uru is a big out for Wests, he was the difference in last years’ GF, without him not sure Wests get the chocolates. The midfield control of Creighton and Stewart will be the defining factor for mine. TBH, pretty hard for a UQ supporter to pick a...

Hard to believe Harry Wilson doesn’t get a run for Australia A, really hope he can use it as a motivator and kick on from what must be a kick in the guts.

Cheers, don't read the Herald, only saw it reported by Ros Kelly this morning on Channel 9. Wonder why the early leaks? The Wallabies' socials have been advertising the live stream of the squad announcement tonight at 6.30pm.

Channel 9 reporting Michael Hooper has missed selection for the RWC.

TBH we only held it for a few years in the late 90’s and early 2000’s because of two game series, only had to win one to retain the Bledisloe. Seems like a dream now!

ASY (Angus Scott-Young) and Conor Vest have both done NPC “off seasons” over the past two years. Think it’s been positive for both of them, hopefully Kalani gets something from it and comes back a better player next year for the Reds. Fair bit of banter on here about him looking to move across the ditch, guess we...

Makes our work load management look a little overprotective. You see it time and time again in both league and union where players coming back from a break in play are often a little off the pace in their first game back. Team mates and coaches almost expect that to be the case. Why would we...
