I think there should be some reward for knocking off the top dogs in a knock out final. I like finals being unpredictable and that on any given day any team can win one game. The Chiefs/Crusaders only have to win 2 games to be Super Rugby champions and are guaranteed a home semi. It doesn't...

The Crusaders doing well without Mo'unga whilst horrible for Super Rugby is at the detriment of the All Blacks. Richie will stay in Japan earning easy money rather than be the savior NZRU wants. It's in everyones best interests for Penney to throw this one.

Yeah seems like a stupid system that doesn't really emphasize that it's do or die. If they want to keep this finals format, then the winner of each game keeps the highest seed position i.e. if the Blues beat the Chiefs, they go to 1, if the Reds beat the Crusaders they go 2. The Chiefs can...

Simply getting an extra prop in Ross and a decent centre to replace Henry would be instant stregnthing given neither Gibbon or Henry laced up this year.

I dunno cheese I don't recall seeing too much discourse around Angus. He's always done a job for the Reds, just had some silly penalties in his game. His attitude and always up for the game will be sorely missed at the Reds. I cant think of any other player in the squad who would sacrifice...

Just understand that it's all about the money. The most logical system would be 1 & 2 get a bye week 3 plays 6, 4 and 5 play off. Winners then play 1 & 2. Buuuuuuutttttt if we did that, there would be one less match to put on TV. 7 & 8 should have had a final to be deemed best loser aka a...

Sure but the Refs association needs to show some leadership and demonstrate that the reffing quality isn't acceptable. Williams and Doleman have consistently over the last few seasons been absolutely poor. These aren't one off games either.

Odd thing about Wilson was he jogged off and straight into the tunnel for the lockers. Normally anyone injured goes down the middle tunnel, so I was half hoping he had to take a shit.

Did I hear right that Lukhan said he won't be back unless we make the semi finals?

Bloody unreal work by Lachy and Junkyard Dog tonight.

https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/soccer/ato-applies-to-wind-up-brisbane-roar-as-sports-minister-weighs-in-20250530-p5m3j1.html I would imagine if the Roar cease to exist that the need for a 20k stadium becomes a bit less pressing for the Government.

I'm in the opposite camp. We've seen through alcohol prohibition or the war on drugs that saying something is bad and naughty isn't the solution. As someone with no dog in the fight, I can't see how society will have no problem with Boxing or UFC, but we draw the line here for "safety. Asking...

Also, I saw JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen) snuck in his IG story that he extended for another year at the Reds this week.

This season has showed there's room for all of them as the starting backrow have all been injured for extended periods. Add in the fact that 2026 and 2027 will no doubt invovle more rotation there will be a heap of game time. I'm sure the Reds will have planned more games in Japan and the UK...

Phil, to fill up your glass, the Crusaders had a injury plagued season last year and look what happened. I don't think it's helped that we have played both the Crusaders and Chiefs away this year either. For me, the biggest disappointment is the lack of a home final this year. That should be...

I was pumped for the Wallabies and Springbok game last year; 2:30pm in August..... The only thing worse than paying $200+ a ticket to watch that Wallaby performance was the overcast skies. We didn't get a single afternoon game this year at Suncorp for the Reds. Frustrating as I've got a 2.5 and...

Hunter had a pretty bad game on Friday, but if we're only judging on one game, why is Kellaway constantly being given a starting wing? We've had countless games where he's made poor reads.

Good thing then - we had 15 blokes out last week. Wright, Gibbon, Henry and Mason all come off the top of my head of not playing a single game this year. Sounds like the Brumbies need to unpack at the why. I would dare say all the Rebels players who joined the Reds had the opportunity to join...

Some of these additions have not had the impact we imagined. Gibbon and Mason didn't play a game. Lukhan has two large injury periods. Flipio and Andersen have been the stand outs. While Canham has some good moments he has hands like feet which has cost us and defensively fell off tackles...

Doleman last year, Williams this year. Just unacceptable performances by Refs. Canes backs played well especially that midfield but Christ it was like playing with one hand behind your back at how often the Canes were offside and just sealed the ruck. That penalty on Dre made no sense...
