Welcome to the forum Waylon.

I am happy he is going and I hope his time away leaves him in good stead for his return.

No there really is no point to this thread. Would you say it is more of a chew the fat thread? Come back in six months and and see how your guess work stood up to the happenings of the season. If their is point to this thread that is it.

I don't get the early writing off of the Brumbies. The pack is generally solid and with Bernie working the backs I would not discount them with the talent they have. The Reds look on the up, have recruited wisely and have a player and coaching group commited to the cause. The way the Reds...

So can Cooper. Welcome to the forum StewP. A good kicking game from full back would be handy for this game.

Until we see each side play, how do you know who has an easy draw?

Yes I wrote that. I don't see us running your mobile pack off their feet but rather try and pysically dominate them.

Whoops, talk about egg on your face. My bad.

Mooney making him captain was a masterstroke. He was a loose cannon up until that point. Howill was pretty friggin aggresive against the Brumbies in the trial.

Don't forget the big killer for the Force against the Reds last year was the diabolical lineout on the day. This is looking like the Forces biggest weakness as it stands. The Reds ran riot because it completely sucked any momentum out of the Force's game. The Force will most likely try to...

Big powerful blokes like him generally are not as quick and mobile as Horwill. He most certainly can play different styles of games including tight. That is what makes him quality.

Sure we can. Suncorp will be like Stalingrad next week. The Tahs will throw everything at us but the Red Army will hold firm and drive them back. :D The Rebels could be a good chance at an upset here. While those aging bodies are fit early on, their experience will count for a lot. I...

I don't think it is in the bag if that is what you are implying. I have no idea what the Force have install for us and that makes me nervious.

Well said Reg. God I love this time of year. Cheers Mayor for joining the conversation. Force have a good back row but I don't think it is very well balanced. Very mobile but some of our big units are quick around the park. I think we are going to target the force pack but in a methodical...

Is this weekend Quade's 50th Reds cap?

It is a good chance to slip under the radar. I wouldn't write any team off yet.

1/ Reds 2/ Crusaders 3/ Stormers 4/ Tahs 5/ Blues 6/ Bulls 7/ Sharks 8/ Canes 9/ Lions 10/ Brumbies 11/ Chiefs 12/Highlanders 13/ Force 14/ Rebels 15/ Cheetahs

All good stuff then. Will have to wait and see. A locking combination of Horwill and Vickerman offers a shit load of grunt.

I still have my doubts they can keep playing that way in a world cup. I think they will go back to being more conservative. I will also wait and see how they go when they are not dictating the terms of the game and have their backs to the wall. All I know is that this is shaping up to be one...

No disrespect to England but Italy suck. Tom Palmer had a blinder. English forwards were on fire. I look forward to the playing the French. Martin Johnson is proving to be a bloody good coach.
