I saw them. What’s your point. Anyway - I’m now doing the very thing that annoyed me. Spending the post game talking about the ref. I’m done on the subject.

That was my whole point. He made mistakes - sure. But they went both ways. Trying to pretend the Brumbies got dudded is just taking away from what a great game it was.

Just re-watching the game. I know it is actually pretty common place, but still great to see Simone was straight over the help steady Wilson when he was obviously out in his feet.

Which part of ‘you can’t slide into a player knees first’ don’t you agree with? And I thought you were passionate about props staying square? Or does that only apply to certain prop(s).

Can’t see Koroibete being left out.

It would have been the best way to end. Still can’t understand WTF they were thinking taking the lineout though.

At the same time that Valetini was yellowed (could have been red) Fainga'a could easily have gone for no arms missile tackle to the legs. Tom Wright should have at least got yellow for a very nasty neck roll in the first half. Nic White could easily have been penalised, if not carded for...

Gee - that was a cracking game in front of the best crowd in Australian rugby for about 10 yrs and all some people can talk about was the ref.I get that its always easier to be gracious when you win, but some of you guys are just really poor fucking losers. And don’t give me the ‘I’m a neutral’...

There’s a reason they keep score

Great work Reds. Well played.

Okay - they are replaying the scrum now. Sio is on much bigger angle than Tupou. But Tupou is boring in????

Media propaganda is nothing new, but there are massive differences between the way media conducts itself now and how it did 20 years ago.

Agree. It’s a very sad reflection on modern media where they increasingly use their inflluence to drive self interest instead of providing a balanced view. Unfortunately I don’t see it changing.

Has anyone checked his family tree. No chance he has an Australian grandparent.

And only 22. Hopefully he can be retained. Looks a terrific prospect.

I dunno - but I’m personally hoping the Reds score 10 tries by driving maul.

I was being a bit facetious and having a light hearted dig at your apparent aversion to offloads and tight forwards who aren’t just set piece specialists - but that exactly why I said I thought you’d like Connolly. He’s an old school coach who starts with being really good at the basics...

Thorn used to say he fancied himself as a young Bakkies. Maybe he head butted Thorn at training. Just because .... you know..... why not?

A good article. In particular some interesting analysis on the strengths and weaknesses of Tom Wright. Well worth a read, and goes to show the level of detail that goes into top level analysis that mug punters like me don’t see (but which ultimately can explain a lot about some of those...

I think the key difference is that Thorn got the Qld Board to get 100% on board with his vision and back him. Roger Davis departing will be a very positive step for any coaching considering the role, but there isn’t much there to be confident about in getting the necessary support from anyone...
