The arrogance of this post after the ref handed your team tonight a victory that they didn't deserve is just too much. Gnostic's trying to discuss a 15 year phenomenon with a team that he, I and a lot of other people care deeply about. I don't always agree with Gnostic, though often I do...

Only because referees are so afraid to award penalty tries when the dominant scrum is collapsed repeatedly. On tonight's game you'd say the rule was 4 collapses = a warning and you need at least 3 more to get a try. Disgraceful refereeing. And to add insult to injury Carter's try was ruled...

One last word on affiliation. Six years ago I moved to SA for work. Now I'm stuck here still trying to get back. So what am I supposed to do? Become an AwFuL fanatic?

I had him for round 6 & 7. Sold him in the bye week. An absolute turkey - no consistency.

Activate the air raid sirens! Reddy is on the attack.

Three of the Australian teams have had a bad run of injuries in the first half of the season - Brumbies, Force and Tahs. It has not helped the Australian conference performance one little bit, which overall has been poor. Enjoy your time in the sun. It tends to even out over time, though...

I brought him in and made him captain too, which was the double kiss of death. Togethether we could make Thompson score negative! I brought him in to replace Slade - out for the season. My latent voodoo skills are absolutely awesome.

And a reliable place kicker.

And most of those you've listed missed one week. Every team has its horror run of injuries. Last year the Reds lost traction and didn't make the semi's because half their first choice team was crocked for the last three weeks (I assume you would prefer this explanation to the alternative)...

Thanks for that, I didn't know Fox did them.

No team lists for this week yet on the teams list wiki thread??

And hardly any injuries. This is the first time they have lost a prop due to injury I think. Would everybody be saying how well the Reds were going if S. Fainga'a, Hanson, Daley, Robinson, Higgers, Cooper and A. Fainga'a had had extensive time out due to injury. I doubt it. Amazing how much...

The money on offer to NZ players is, I understand, less than that paid to the Australian players. Then add in an exchange rate of 1.3+ to the Aussie $. Is it any wonder they are looking for greener pastures?

Galloper, be careful what you wish for!

According to the Tahs site he's not in the training squad. Is he with another franchise (Brumbies)?

JOC (James O'Connor) was at 12 last week?

I was just hoping the bulked up Mowen would be better in the scrum.

Gnostic, I don't understand this post. Do you mean Vickerman would facepalm both of them or that Douglas and Mumm's performance this year have been OK? I know Vickerman's been out a while and easily crocked but at his best he would be better on his own than both these. I'm so disappointed...

I'm not! Dennis has been outstanding this year and is wasted on the bench. Mumm's been poor all year but is untouchable. I would have kept Douglas but told him he would be replaced after 20 if he fucked up (last chance, mate) dumped Mumm to the bench for Mowen and brought Dennis into the...

Austin, that's a bloody good analysis!
