Thinking about it more.. Fairfax and Fox probably put some more advertising push behind the player-written articles to try and grab the attention of consumers on the edges of their target demo, like me. I don't regularly read many Australian publications so that's probably why this stuff feels...

Does anyone else find it bizarre how embedded former players are in written rugby journalism in Australia?

Makes you wonder exactly how brutal Reds film review sessions must be..

I should be able to grab the clip out of the replay tomorrow - not home or I'd do it tonight. Are you guys able to access any of the content on Espn3.com or is it geo-gated? All the games are streamed live in HD and replays are available immediately after

So surely Mafi has earned another start next week? Thought he was hooked way too early

For me the backs are just as, if not more guilty of the silly offloads. Last team I played for in the states was big on offloading for continuity as we had a smallish pack but good and very fast backs. We were taught that if you can count to 2 after making contact it is too late to throw the...

It was good to see us scoring points in the second half against the opposed training run that is the Southern Kings. It wasn't great seeing how many points we shipped against a team that's not even supposed to be in the competition. Our attacking breakdown has to be one of the worst I've seen...

Was one of the highlights of the match for me as well, especially after some of the STUPID offloading in the first half

Even if we put 50 on them in the second half the Reds have already failed the test. New lineup, same issues.

Well, their players catch the ball..

Forcing the offload, lose meters, turn over the ball. Stop forcing the fucking offload when it isn't on. QC (Quade Cooper) and Kerevi are so regularly guilty of this shit it's unreal

Breakdown work is so sloppy. Seems to be a trend under Stiles?

Ah fuck it i cant sleep

Have an early brunch for the girlfriend's mother's birthday tomorrow so I'm probably going to have to miss my first game of the season because of the abnormal time slot :( Give your TV's a good spray for me boys.. I'm sure it will be justified.

We never learn and the madness carries on. No other contact sport on Earth carries on with shit like this, probably because boys aren't men and sucesss at 16 is a poor indicator of success at 26 other than for obvious outliers. Shit, the rugby nations that regularly manhandle us on the test...

Not gonna lie I'm kind've disappointed that the next two games are South African derbies because I'd love to be able to watch some more rugby after a match like that

Simmons got his hand on a few balls aside from the steal too - forced TJ into giving slow or sloppy service and gave us a real chance on set piece defense. Canes weren't crashing it up inside over and over because they wanted to.

Decision making and execution let us down in the last quarter big time. Need to stop forcing the offloads when they clearly aren't there because we would have had several more cracks on the tryline if we did. It's not that hard - if you can count to two it's too late and you need to tuck it...
