If anyone is interested, good resource on Oz Super Rugby crowd numbers here https://www.shrugbyblog.com/2017/02/24/australian-super-rugby-attendances-2017-Super Rugby-2017-crowds-in-australia-conference/

Yep. It's not time in play, it's minimising the gaps between the time in play that is the trend. With so many other distractions out there, you've got to keep the interest. Our challange is that you can't really have a game without 15 guys on their feet. For one guy to have a break, the game...

It's not the game time getting eaten up that's the problem. It's sitting in row z in the middle of winter having paid $45 trying to stay awake while on the other side of the field 3 scrum resets happen, of which you can see nothing, then a penalty which nobody can understand and then a penalty...

And unfortunately, Reds are just about last in the comp for dominant tackles. And probably hence, are low in turnovers too Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Reds have surely captured a unique record this week. Scored more tries than all of the other Oz teams combined and still couldn't win the match Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

WR (World Rugby) do the stats on World Cups. Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Douglas is on one for next year (2018) though right? I'd certainly think Simmons is ahead of him in the pecking order, but he might get squeezed out by the timing of contracts. He should be expecting a pay cut at least Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

I wonder. You're probably right. But 4 locks already with a top up at the moment for next year. Do they see a role for Simmons all the way to 2019? Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

@MediaweekAUS: Sat TV #SuperRugby #FoxSports #REDvWAR 84k #CHIvSUN 40k #FORvLIO 32k Fri night Highlander v Stormers 43k Force game is disappointing. You couldn't ask for a better lead in Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Simmons must be a fair chance of losing his ARU top up, and would probably look os if that happened. Hunt will take a big pay cut from the ARU too you'd imagine so will be interesting to see what happens there. Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

The Tahs recievers in the backline from the long throw were all inside the ten before the lineout was over for that try too. Balanced out by Smith's excellent NFL block to open up the channel for Higgers to link with Hunt for the first try Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Reds are currently worst in the comp for ruck penalties, total penalties (Douglas and Smith worst offenders), for dominant tackles, and pretty close for turnovers won. Missed tackles have improved markedly over the last month. Kerevi still the team's worst but dropped back to third in the comp...

What do you reckon? Named team only Moore, Simmons, QC (Quade Cooper), Kerevi, Hunt (maybe Higgers?) v Kepu, Mumm, Hooper, Phipps, Foley, Skelton, Folau (maybe Horne?)

Yep. If the Tahs have any sense at all, nearly all of their attack will be directed straight at wherever Kerevi is. He's been a terrible tackler this year and makes the defenders on either side of him worse too.

Don't think he has ever really recovered from the ankle injury in Oct 2015. Lost a yard and now tries to do too much to compensate

John Roe the last guy that managed this? He had a very understanding med school Head, former Wallaby Professor Ken Donald.

Surely that's his coaches descision? Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

If there's 15,000 members then they're doing a pretty bad job of counting them all to not get a 11,000 crowd ;) Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk
