That's just about season over for the Reds. Shit loss plus injuries. Long road to the finals from here. Fuck it.

Was that knock on at the scrum called by the Lions mascot? Ref couldn't have seen it.

Quade must be covered in spiders. They don't want to touch him!

Something about being the 4th Aussie team in the competition just brings back flashbacks to 2009. And in 2009 we got touched up by the Lions at Suncorp in one of the most depressing Reds performances of a bad era. If there's any complacency appearing heading in to this weekend's match...

I wouldn't be that surprised if Ben Lucas got a shot on the bench this week. Covers a lot of positions and must be almost back to fitness. This is a massive game for the Reds now. Must win it and Lions are no way the easybeats many expected them to be.

Dear mike, go on safari, do not pass safari. Fucking Shithouse!:

Schatz & quirk being shown up as not good enough tonight. We'd like to think they are good enough, but they're not.

Congrats Force. Great win!

Not enough Queensland Reds!

Toua has been one of the top Metre gaining backs in the comp so far. Think he definitely deserves to hold his spot at this stage. What we could do with is a younger version of Radike Samo. Just think we're missing a really dynamic forward.

Ah, so the TMO that stitched us up so nicely against the Cheetahs last season is in the booth again...

Just out of curiosity, & slightly off topic but do you any of you blokes have a punt on the 50/50 Draw that goes on the matches? I've noticed that Broncos fans generally seem to punt a lot more on it than Reds fans do. Wondering if it's because the lure of winning $4000 - $10000 seems far more...

Reds crowd was still higher than any Round 1 NRL match so dont think it was a bad result actually.

Nah - the guy giving it heaps over the PA does lift the crowd engagement. For the home team anyway. Otherwise it just ends in a fairly tame atmosphere and got to keep the punters entertained if you want them to come back. In the really big matches it's not really needed as the crowd is going off...

Didn't mention anything about Lambie though! D'oh!

It would've really mattered if we lost. But I thought we had things fairly well in control for most of the match. Hopefully the "We are Red" bloke gets screaming again next match. Or we get cheerleaders... or both!

What a great Saturday afternoon that was in 2011. The QC (Quade Cooper) in goal kick pass, plenty of tries... But we scored more points last night than we did back then! So I was pretty happy with the performance. A few massive brainfarts but recovered from them quickly and 5 points in the bank. Think...

Don't think so. It's not so good on the flexibility front.
