Won’t lie - I’m pretty gutted. Reds had opportunities to get what would have been a really important win but just made too many mistakes, particularly in the first half. Congrats Brumbies and all their fans. Brumbies forced a lot of errors and put a lot of pressure on, particularly at set...

I’ll be there. Games at Easter may not be good for general attendence but it generally works better for me. Looking forward to it.

You mean like ‘-‘any 12 would look bad behind that pack?’ Don’t be too hard on yourself.

Sure - but that doesn’t change the fact he was well below his best.

If he is fit again 100% agree but he struggled last year.

Worked fine for Dan Carter. Pretty sure Michael Lynagh started at 12 too. Guys like Howard, Giteau & Flatley all played 12 for the Wallabies whilst, from memory, they played more 10 for the Super 10 (might be wrong about Giteau). Other guys like Barnes, Beale, McAlister, Mauger played between...

Always rated Stewart and he is in very good from this year. The roar raised the prospect of playing Gordon at 12. You could do worse.

The Reds finished 8th last year. Yes they are doing a lot better this year but they haven’t suddenly turned into the Crusaders (and by that I don’t mean this years version). Now they’ve played a couple of games under Kiss teams opposition has a chance to unpick their game a bit and the Force...

I only post when I watch all games BR - although clearly I wasn’t very observant on Friday seeing as I apparently confused with how long I watched Frost play. But is it really a big deal? No players livelihood is being impacted if they either get or miss a few TOTW votes and I’d suggest people...

Looks like I’m a multiple offender this week. I didn’t realise Kautai wasn’t eligible.

Yeah. I’m obviously getting my locks confused. I did watch the game but was pretty tired. Not really a great excuse but I’ll have to try and do a review and maybe re-consider my vote.

Congrats Forcs fans. The Force were too good from start to finish. Plenty of great contributions but Tizzano, White & Stewart in particular were exceptional. Sorry - and Donaldson.

It’s a hard one in terms of getting a result though. You want player development but the Tahs have also had two close losses and you can understand Coleman wanting Gordon out there as long as possible.

Wilson is a good jumper. Just not as good as Holloway/Hanigan/Wright. He gets used sparingly for Qld because he is always the 4th option.

The Force have brought us unstuck plenty of times in the past. And they normally ambush at least one team a year at home. I agree Reds should be healthy favourites but we’ve seen enough times in the past if you get ahead of yourself or treat an opposition without the due respect it bites you in...

This is where I don’t think he can win. I know Reds fans who swear Berry punishes them too harshly. Clearly opposition fans think he rewards the Reds. I remember years ago I was watching a local fixture which didn’t involve my club and I happened to sit between the two teams supporters. Through...

I won’t be surprised if you are right about Holloway, but I reckon he can play lock at test level. He has all the right attributes IMO and the only down side is maybe a touch shorter than your average lock. But given he does very well in the lineout that doesn’t seem a limitation we should be...

Schmidt’s choice of 9 will have a bearing too. IMO McDermott is the best option there, but Lonergan does have the better pass and is also a strong goal kicker. If Schmidt goes that way it will be easier to pick Gordon. With regards to Valetini/Wilson I think Wilson is showing at the moment he...

There have been periods this year when the Force have looked very good. They’ve just had trouble maintaining it for 80. Last weekend was pretty ugly - but a week can be a long time in footy.
