I'll post here what I mentioned in the match day thread vs the Force - the Reds players at times have no idea what to do. Genia, in particular, has shocking decision making right now. The only time he should be allowed to kick is when he's sweeping back. Genia put in an absolutely nothing...

Really? The Reds were worse in 2012 than they are in 2014? I doubt you will see many people agree there.

Good win Force. The Force are a much improved side, and with the injury gods smiling on them right now they could be the surprise packet of the comp. Think only Alcock and 3M are their injured players right now. The biggest thing the Force have currently is enthusiasm and self-belief. The...

Reds gaining ground well with the ball, I'd say hold it more. The Reds back three aren't good kickers. Reds looking offside a lot, particularly Simmons. Will need to fix that. If you want blatant errors, my favourite has been the penalty "earnt" by Hodgson and McCalman - Hogson didn't...

Isn't Alofa Alofa fit?

@Lindommer I would expect that SANZAR should a digital component as part of the next broadcast deal. The issue is that the digital access should be world wide, and the 3 countries share the broadcast revenue profits. The problem is what union handles it, and how the profits and monitored and...

TTRV sadly is in its nth iteration, eventually Sky or someone else demands a take down and they lose all their current videos. Last take down all the Super Rugby and a heap of international videos from the last 2 - 3 years were lost.

I'd say that if Beale still had the ball it would've been a lot harder to rag doll him like that as Beale would've been prepared for contact. The major issue is the lateness for me, I don't believe that Steyn couldn't have known that Beale had passed. Steyn just had a brain explosion after...

Depends on whether you call having an advantage unfair or not...semantics! Let's just agree it's an advantage.

Wasn't Nick Cummins from Queensland?

Tahs getting extra opportunity for players solely because they are based in Sydney? That's an advantage over the other teams. I think it's fair to say that the Tahs and Reds have an advantage simply because they are the biggest bases of rugby in Australia.

Going by Pulver's interview on another website, the ARU selling online access to Australian Super Rugby games and Wallaby Test matches is impossible. Or at least, under the current SANZAR arrangements it is.

This thread is looking like what the Reds v Tahs threads used to!

Genia's long kicking game is good. My issue is his decision making regarding kicks. He is almost robotic now in kicking away turnover ball, and teams expect it. In recent games we have actually lost field position when turning over opposition ball thanks to Genia's kicks! My other issue is...

There's a difference between travelling for part of the year somewhere that's too cold, and living somewhere for the whole year. Just repeating what he said anyway, you can take it at whatever level you want. As unfair as it sounds, if he goes to union I'm pretty sure it will be to the Tahs...

Anyone else noticed that the NRL have joined the AFL in having online subscriptions to watch games, get stats, other updates, etc online? Rugby is falling behind here, hopefully come the new TV rights deal the ARU will put together a decent online precence and sell online access around the...

He has said he doesn't like living in Canberra, and doesn't like the weather there at all. Too cold apparently.

@topo check out the Stormers' injury list. Tahs have got to be favourites here, and if Folau plays, I think they should win well. Stormers have too many forwards out, and probably won't win either set piece battle, and they won't compete at the ruck. Which means the Tahs backs, who already...

Reds outside backs haven't looked overly potent this year, and they have injuries to boot.
