03/03/12 You all remember that date right? The last time the Reds beat the Force. That was a LONG time ago. And the 2011 season is even a longer time ago - but you all still keep hanging on to that, even though this team is a shell of the 2011 team... In all seriousness, it should...

Didn't the Reds just let up 17 points and only win by 5 over probably the worst attacking team in the comp? Without options indeed.

No, we remember the last three Reds v Force matches very clearly.

I can't remember which game it was last season, but with about 2 min to go and down by a try, he hoofed the ball downfield as soon as he got it. My head almost exploded (as I'm sure was the case for the 14 other guys on the pitch).

So, did Growden write the Force's GAGR season preview as well? He has the Rabble finishing 9th and the Force finishing 13th? Ian Prior is the guy to look out for? Not Godwin, not Steenkamp, not Stander? Prior? Who is going to see 15 min per game at most? Do some homework, son.

Definitely - I think Alccock has been outstanding all year, and is only behind Alby in the signing of the year.

I thought to myself, "well, now we know why he hasn't been getting a shot." It didn't seem like he could finish off a tackle - just bouncing off guys.

Thanks Gaffa - so many were talking like it was a done deal, I was wondering if I had missed something. I guess I'll still hold out hope then!

I asked this on the TWF forum, but has anyone ever gotten legit confirmation that Mafi is going to Japan? The only thing I've seen is journo rumor-mongering, but never any confirmation from the man himself, or from the Force. Perhaps I just missed it. Has anyone seen any confirmation that...

Agree with you - SNK looked decent, but didn't set the world alight - couple or ordinary kicks, but he's not in there for his kicking. Stubbs brought a lot of energy and a bit of sting in defense. I thought Junior was just what the backline needed - got over the gainline with almost every...

By all accounts (by the "experts"), 12 is his best position. I can't say myself, as I didn't see him in the JWC, but that's the word. I would also add that 12 is probably Gits' best position as well. It's also no coincidence that things unraveled a bit when Ebersohn left the game last...

As far as I'm aware, nobody has ever confirmed that. Probably just his agent planting some ideas in a journo's head. It would be pretty silly, as he's on the cusp of great things.

No, he went off at around 20 min.

God, please not Simmons to the Force. The Rebels can have him, although they seem to already have some decent depth at lock already, unless they're off contract next year.

I had read that last night as well. If the Force aren't careful, they might lose him to the Norwegian ukelele folk music circuit! He does seem to be an incredibly humble, yet hilarious sort of guy. I would imagine that he has the boys in stitches on tour.

Just givin' you a wind up :)

Agreed - between MMM and Cottrell, not sure if poor Benny Mac will see the field much this season. But how do the three of them do anything single handedly?

I thought Hodgo was "interim captain" until the new coaching staff came in and blessed him. You'd think they'd stay on that train. Regarding Charles, I'd love to see him get a call up for the November tour - TPN ain't cutting it, S. Fingers isn't the answer.... give the boy a crack!

I like the sound of that letter - seems to signal the last piece of the change in attitude. It now feels to me like a true "reset". Acknowledge the mistakes and disappointing results of the past - no excuses - and move forward. Clean slate. I was concerned that the coaching staff would...

Is this the same John Grant who played for the Aussie 7's side? Tall guy? Sorry, I should've watched the video first...
