Final Trial - Reds v. Force

[disco]

yeah it is unfair to compare anyone to pocock - especially as a schoolboy.

Pocock is a monster, he's a real life He-man figure. Watched the Welsh game again last night & when the Wallabies are walking out the tunnel you realise just how massive Pocock is.

Genia is built like a tank also he's probably bigger than Pocock across the chest.

 

[Refabit]

It is WA time.

Refabit- Time can only tell who will be placed accordingly, however I reckon you hit the nail on the head. Would happily be proved wrong.

Chief I'd like nothing more than it being 1st v 2nd but Reds don't have the cattle. Force will be well drilled, passionate and efficient. Just 1 or 2 class players short of a semi spot.

Has anyone managed to get that site working? I signed up and I can't find a link to the actual video.

 

[Gagger]

Fucked if I can find it

 

[Ash]

The link to the video will apparently come up closer to the date. Do you actually need to sign up to view it though?

Refabit - the Force are more than one or two players off a semi. They are probably missing a hooker, a lock, and one or two class outside backs. They might also be missing an inside back if Pretorius can't stay health or they insist on the craziness of J'OC at fullback instead of 12. So 3 - 4 players by my count, although if 2 of those were world class the others could probably not matter. The Reds are probably in a similar position.

 

[Refabit]

Ash I was probably being a bit kind. They'll definitely need a fit Cross & Shepherd all year. And hopefully no-one knocks Bartholomeusz off his walking frame.
The Reds are only about 12 class players short of a competitive team

Which eight of the Reds current 5 Wallabies and 2 Wallaby tourists (Hynes, Ioane, Genia, Cooper, Horwill, Morahan, Kingi) and 3 former Wallabies (Holmes, Hardman, Turinuri) and 1 former All Black (Braid) don't you rate as good enough for the S14?

We had all those last year and finished 13th - below Lions!
Hynes - seems to play better for Wallabies than Reds
Genia - player of the spring tour - hopefully brings that form along.
Ioane - a winger forced to play centre. Best tackle breaker going around
Cooper - Tries to do too much. Recent burglary charge exposing thinking ability
Morahan - Work in progress with limitless potential.
Holmes - Injury plagued but lethal
Hardman - Dependable
Turinui - Past use by date but trier
Braid - Tried to leave but injury forced his return. Unconvincing in key position

He has his detractors, and his debut season last year didn't help, but I understand Rod Davies had made great strides in his development and I will be interested to hear reports on how he goes in tonight's game.

 

[MrTimms]

I am going to the ground shortly, if I can find my way there. I have asked a couple of people and apparently it is just north of the city.

I will be tweeting score updates and maybe some video if anyone is interested (@MrTimms)

Pretorius out for the season. :lmao:

[Gagger]

We'll be doing live score updates on the front page as well

 

[Lee Grant]

That TV things look like a fizzer. I'm going crazy to trying to get it going.

 

[Ash]

Lee - the link is there now. Refresh the page.

 

[Lee Grant]

Yeah just found out - you still getting ads?

 

[Lee Grant]

The Force guys reckon it may start at 7.40pm WST.

 

[Sully]

you're getting adds? I've got nothing

 

[Ash]

Same - getting nothing right now.
