The torpedo

Need to take this one very seriously. Sunwolves are a very dangerous side. Do not want to drop Kerevi for this one
I'd pick the game we are least likely to win.He has to be rested eventually. We're stuffed no matter which game it is.
The way we're going that's the game we'll win!I'd pick the game we are least likely to win.
Probably away v rebels
What happens if Thorn gets stubborn & we don't rest him?
Well he can get stuffed if he does, this is the type of attitude of state first bullshit, that puts Australian Rugby in a hole.
Every other team's agreed to it, why does the Red's get to not do it, because they want to win, what is better for Australian rugby winning a world cup or winning a super rugby title for qld.
He has been resting players. Rodda, Salakaia-Loto, Naivalu & Tupou have all been rested.Well he can get stuffed if he does, this is the type of attitude of state first bullshit, that puts Australian Rugby in a hole.

I think that Super Rugby is more important than the Wallabies for the game.
No matter how bad we look going into the world cup there are "part time" fans who will pay interest, and a slim minority may get interested in the game, most will go back to their favorite sport.
For me, I would rather the Reds pulling higher crowds than the Broncos and averaging over 30,000 fans a game as they did at their peak when they won the title. I would prefer the Brumbies to sell out Bruce Stadium like they did at their peak, same with the Tahs.
Imagine if between the four super rugby teams we could get Reds 30k, Brumbies 20k, Tahs 30k and Rebels 15k each week.
I would take 95,000 paying customers a round over performing well at the world cup.
If we pulled those crowds then our teams are performing and we would probably do well at the world cup.
