Gotta love the 50 canberrans that turned up booing the correct decision. That was a beautiful try though, Cale is the ultimate support player.

I’m also still yet to find one of the 2.2m people that watched the women’s origin game on Thursday night.

TBH I hadn’t ever noticed it until you highlighted it a couple of weeks ago when I made the outrageous claim that Bell should walk straight into the Wallabies when he’s fit. Which was more a recognition of the fact that we don’t have a lot of depth there than the fact that he’s about our only...

Yeah, look the conversation last night went a bit pear shaped. I appreciate that some of the Reds guys were a bit sensitive, but all I was really trying to say was that if you were a rugby tragic from Mars and landed in Australia with no knowledge of the history of the 2 players you could make...

Far out. Reds dudes, you are now as relevant as us Tahs and Force supporters for the rest of the soup season. Go Rebs, go Brums. My initial post was in praise of the Reds' Wallabies contenders, with a concern about one player. Get over it, it's only my opinion.

That. Or maybe waiting to see what Michael Cheika does. Or maybe something else that players (not armchair warriors) make decisions upon.

I didn’t. Highlander implied I must be on the cones so I brought up the stats to show they were pretty even. You took it next level.

It wasn’t a final. When it gets to finals a neutral ref is one from another country.

Well the reds scored 30 more tries than the Tahs this season so it’s fairly logical that Tate is going to have more try assists isn’t it? And I was waiting for the ‘yeah but’ re tate’s cards. Maybe Jake has improved his discipline? And you need to reread the context of my post, in particular...

Haha hardly full shiggins. I’m only talking about the bloke in the middle, I don’t mind the other officials being from NZ & Aus as long as there as a balance. I didn’t mean all the neutral refs have to be Fijian, I meant fly one in from anywhere.

None. No yellows either. Tate got one of each.

Ok just pick out the stats where Tate is better. As you were.

There are a couple of decent Fijian ones for a start, if they really want to involve them in the comp. Aside from that, have a caveat in the comp rules that if they can’t assign a neutral one from within the comp they fly one in.

You are entitled to your opinion. I know stats aren’t everything but they are a good starting point:

I’ll stick with my prediction of the reds making up 9/32 of the squad. The wallabies contenders aren’t the ones letting the team down tonight. The exception is probably McDermott, if you’re starting from scratch Jake Gordon is more deserving of a spot in the 23 than Tate this season.

Faessler shoulder charged without the ball, play on

If Lynagh was on Joe Schmidt’s squad shortlist I’d say he’s been removed. For this year anyway. Unrelated footnote: SANZAAR need to part with the funds to fly in neutral refs for the finals. The cost would be a rounding error for the overall tournament cost. The adjudication in this game is...

That’s a separate issue, I did mean to mention I hadn’t seen that so wouldn’t comment. Good luck tonight reds, my number 2 team.

That's just outright wrong. They aren't great at keeping them but they certainly produce more of them than Qld.

Whatever, I'm still not fussed about it with regards to his transition to rugby union. I just did a search and couldn't find anything on record - are these alleged knees to the head just things you didn't like the look of or did he actually get cited? If it's the former there are plenty of...
