Well...that was disasppointing. Like most I thought the ref had a shocker, but at the end of the day the Reds imploded. Things just fell apart from the time Shaw was sent to the bin, and they never recovered any composure. All we can really hope for now is that they finish the season off...

Re: Oz U20 squad Que?

Perhaps the biggest injury worry is Daniel Braid. He is doubtful for this weekend isn't he?

Re: Oz U20 squad Interesting omission for mine is McCaffrey from NSW, given he is on the fringes of Waratah's selection. Also Stefano Hunt who has made his S14 debut as well. Like Chief, I wonder who will win the selection battle of the 7's? Two who've already played S14, and one who has been...

Watched the highlights reel of the Hurricanes win on the weekend. Nonu looks in imposing form. Cruden is a talent but his inexperience may have to be targetted by the Reds as a possible point of vulnerability. Might come down to who the Reds have available to play. The second row issue might...

I'll go with Amanda's ratings: 3. Beale 2. TPN 3. Turner

3.Valentine 2. Elsom 1. Giteau. I also thought Chisolm had a mighty first half and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Alexander deserve special mention. No bad players really.

Gee...trust the Brumbies to finally click when they play the Reds. A very good performance from them and, as has happened for the Reds during the season, they defended superbly, and when they chanced their arm in attack the ball bounced well for them. Can't believe it's the same team I have...

3. A Fainga'a 2. Holmes 1. Genia

Can't find much wrong with that selection. As for rookies I have liked the look of McCabe.

Haven't had a chance to watch a replay of the game so may settle in this arvo to do it. Obviously disappointed by the result but I thought it might happen before this. Hopefully the Reds can bounce back this weekend but judging by what I have seen in the papers, there are a few injuries, and the...

Was at Bottomley Park on Saturday, and have to say that the result of the match was in doubt until right at the end. I did think Easts were the better side but Brothers had their noses in front until a Matt Brandon penalty at the death. Kudos to the Easts pack. I thought they were pretty...

Hope the weather is good and the Reds don't gt dragged into a dour slogging match. Has the team been announced yet?

Braid will be a massive loss. He has been a major factor in the turnaround of Qld's fortunes, with his influence and presence in the early games. Tomiki will have to step up big time next year or it will be up to one of the young guns like Gill or Quirk, although Schatz did play at 7 one game...

Bit of a digression here but I remember as a Uni student in the early 80's hearing about this lightning quick aboriginal kid at IGS. A few mates and I decided to go out to QEII to watch him at GPS. At the time he was running in the Under 13's, and if memory serves me correctly he did the 100m in...

I've enjoyed the atmosphere at Suncorp this year. Sure there are idiots who get carried away, and I'm not a fan of booing kickers either, but the crowd has generally been good, and respectful of the visiting team and their supporters.

Well who would have thought after three rounds that the reigning premiers (and reigning Aust club champions) and the beaten grand finalist from last year would be sitting second and third last respectively. Horror start for Brothers with 0 from 3. Should be quite a game over at Bottomley this...

I was hoping that he would at least give Ben Mowen a warning after repeated cynical infringements.

Well both teams were desperate, so there was a big chance it might be ugly. I also thought Walsh was awful and the Brumbies probably got a raw deal with some of his decision making. What is it with Tyrone Smith and those grubber kicks? He should get dropped next week for persisting with them.
