This game is likely to be 45-42 by the end and I don't know who will be the winner

It is always about pack balance, I would be just as happy if just keeps tackling and cleans out hard

The concept of locks being quality crash ballers is a bit skewed, a near 200cm bean pole is not what you would consider the most likely to break down a solid defensive line. Staniforth always makes himself available, he has an excellent work rate, but he isn't being selected because of his...

Crusaders ABs and Rebels Wobs will be unavailable for these games

You can imagine Thorn just doing a shift with the team would have changed the attitude in the gym, less joking around, more getting stuck in, more focus

Good to see Thorn was ensuring the team were back to the grindstone. Papers say he personally took/led the weights session this morning Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

He was toweled in his first scrum by Mtawarira, he didn't do a lot

Well if the options are a guy who can do randomly good things if he is allowed to play wide and contribute little to the dog work; or a guy without the ability to do random good things, but will do the dog work, I will take the "b" option Start Palmer at lock, Hanigan at 8 or 6, one of the...

Holloway continues to not contribute enough unfortunately. Complaints about Wells are understandable, but at least he does plenty, like Staniforth The scrum was clearly better than last week for long periods, but still plenty of work to do Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

Their skills dropped as they ran out of puff in the second half, the reserves appeared to add some better efforts. What was nice was that they kept at it

Latu isn't fit enough supposedly

You seem to be a tad glass half empty at the moment, there were lots of positives

You can add dire back play, the plan appeared to be pass it to the winger, neither centre did much, no lines run, no options provided to the ball carrier other then catch and pass

Well, that is what they do. A less patient ref would have used a card on them What was good was the Reds response, take the kick, convert the pressure and keep at it. (Hooper will too often pick the scrum or lineout and come away with nothing)

Great win by the Reds, great attitude Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

I thought Kellaway did quite well Hegarty also looked quite good at 15

then he is only 20 behind Cooper

The planets of defense and of not getting a yellow card each game
