Tomane I think had 1 touch for the half. Wonder how many kicks in the half though? Very reminiscent of the 07 Boks "bomb it into their half and see what happens" strategy. Edit: 42 kicks. 24-18 to the Reds

Is this rugby or the "Steve Walsh Show"?

Is Barnes killing off the Tahs attack as much as Ella says, and Spiro Zavos repeated today? Certainly the Reds backline hasn't looked back since he moved out of it. Tahs put on a good show against the Sharks a couple of long months ago so why has it all gone pear-shaped since and can they...

Tamou converted to an 8 would be just what the Wallabies and the moneybags Rebels need.

Somebody sign James Tamou!

Castrol should supply a few grid girls to "cheer" in skimpy gold costumes in front of these supporter bays. That would fire the crowd up a bit! More than a giant "Kev" anyway.

Elsom has a corked biceps? How much are they paying him? Toughen up sunshine and get out there http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/super-rugby/injuries-may-push-dennis-into-second-row-20120521-1z195.html

Ever heard of the Whitelocks?

I think Super Rugby needs a Rhinos team myself. Just call them the Endangered Rhinos!

No way he'll get off that. Went past horizontal and didn't release or attempt to safely lower him.

Harris and Lucas going down against the Sharks is what has gotten us into trouble this season. Lost too much confidence from that and took a few weeks to get things together again. But I haven't given up hope of us making it yet. And all those who also still have hope should start death-riding...

Wonder what the crowd figure will be like tonight. Not much else on around town but Lions don't normally pull many of their own supporters along to Suncorp. Fcuk we need to smash them tonight. Not beat by a little bit - fcking smash them by 30-40 points.

If Reds win all their remaining matches they'll make the finals at least as a Wildcard. The teams in NZ and SA conferences have to play each other too many times to hold them out. But a big bonus point win tonight is a must for confidence reasons as much as anything else.

That the player himself comes out and says the ARU top up was rubbish compared to what else is around is a sad sign for the health of the code in Australia. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/higginbotham-let-down-by-contract-process-20120518-1yvtr.html

No way would you bench him. You need him to get game time under his belt before the Brumbies match next week. The Reds can still make it but they have win every match remaining. And they need to win this one by a decent margin.

Posted this story link in Reds 2013 but obviously relevant here too. The process of player contracting is completely screwed at this point in time and is causing disenchantment amongst both fans and players. Not a good thing when you're already the 4th football code in a country - "Higgers...

Have to wonder what exactly has gone here. Couple of weeks ago the news was Higgers keen to sign on with the Reds again. Then we hear "Higgers frustrated by new contract process"...

Well you couldn't expect him to just turn up in Canberra next weekend and tear your blokes apart straight off a 7 month lay off now could you? But that's a discussion for another thread. Anyone got any sort of decent info on the Lions? Haven't been paying much attention to their efforts this...

Updated version of the Courier Mail story now says he's starting.

Jim Tucker has him coming back from the bench. This should sell a few thousand more tickets even if he mysteriously withdraws during the warm up http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/quade-copper-to-return-for-reds-this-week-off-reserves-bench/story-e6frep5o-1226357332851
