Why can't some of you Rebels supporters just acknowledge a damned fine win overseas (and perhaps, the coach) and give the "yeah, but..." stuff a rest for now?

It is also a World Cup year and you can bet that the IRB refs boss has said only northern hemisphere style refs ( whistle blowing all game ) will get a gig in the RWC

Only caught the last bit of the game, Carter didn't look in great shape at the end.

I tipped it too, although I got the margin wrong. My best start in the tipping comps, its all downhill from here.
Thought the Cru were pretty lacklustre; will be interesting to see how the Rebels go next week. But they played pretty well at the breakdown and there were a few very contentious hometown decisions they had to overcome. All power to them.

On second thoughts the worst thing about this isn't that Greg Fucking Martin predicted it, but that whereas we did pretty much everything I expected us to, we were so slow & laboured in doing it, and even then managed to fuck it up more often than not, even allowing for the fact that by virtue of being so slow & laboured we handed the Rebels strongest player group (loosies & halfback) any advantage we might have gained through our strongest player group (tight 5).
And I think it bears repeating that when 10 points down with 10 to go & you get a penalty dead in front, you TAKE THE FUCKING THREE & get back down there: then, and only then, do you tap & go or drill it into the corner for the lineout drive (assuming, of course, your hooker doesn't completely fuck up the throw) to tie it up.
Having ranted all of the above, there's no denying that the Rebels fully deserved their win. They are now officially my favourite Aussie team, poor bastards.

Well with a nod in the direction of Das for his prediction (but isn't Rebels by 10 your default prediction?) I called us a real chance and leading at the 60. Amazed the Crusaders turned down so many penalties. No respect and the played for it.
Scrum did better than I thought and Timani was immense around the park. Cannot really blame leafa much for the throes. Even when they were good we were beaten . I think he was just trying to find a way to win a few. Still the Rebels are well used to bad throw after four years of them.
Wrapped with the first round win and if I was at the turf I would also be drinking Oz timmys weight in beer, and I am not a big bloke so I would not be presenting myself to anything but the Gutter.
Oz Timmy, you can add my Weight to your drinks tally. I only played back in a country Vic school so for an old front rower that should not be much of an extra %

So far we have exhausted the fat yak from what I can tell. Working through the rest. This is a good night to be a Rebel.

Silver lining time: no way we'll be dead last after Round 1. Thank you Reds & suck on that, Greg Fucking Martin

Bloody awesome effort and win by Rebels especially considering we were down a man for 20 minutes(I know Crusaders were also down a man for ten).
We couldn't beat both of last year's finalists in first two weeks could we? Why couldn't we bring on Tahs at the Stockade next Friday.
