Rd 8: Reds v Stormers Friday 5th April

[dru]

If the Stormers brain trust was on it’s game they would’ve targeted this game and trashed a good opponent with a style that suits pulling the Reds apart. But they haven’t and I don’t think they will.

Reds by 15.

 

[Jets]

Lots of dropped ball and forward passes.

Draw

I'd love to see Fraser McReight get more of a run this weekend. He looked good/very organised when he came on against the Rebels. Is a bit of a prodigy methinks. He is also built like Gimli from LOTR.

agree. I think he'll get a decent run tonight and I reckon he'll start at least one game in South Africa. Wright has played a lot of rugby so far and will need a rest. Plus, I agree with you, McReight deserves a shot

 

[Finsbury Girl]

Fingers crossed for a decent performance.

WP are always dangerous. They'll see us as soft and there for the taking. Pigs need to dominate from the get go.

The Smith boys will smash them up front and the Thor will do the same. Reds by 30

Love the rev up from the Smith boys.

It reminds me of pre-match origin muck throwing - which I imagine it is for those two Toowoomba boets.

Well can't make up my mind how this one will go, surely the Reds will be better than last week!!

Good on ya! Nothing sad about it. Need more supporters like you.

But surely you have a big soft spot for the reds now.

Oh for sure Dc, they surely my Aussie team, and I hurt with all the old supporters when they don't go well. I sit up among supporters who seem to have the old life memberships, and when I first watched games (usually in an AB or Cane's type shirt ) I got a bit of ribbing, but love to sit among the real rusted on supporters, and we all enjoy each other's company!

On the train in - going for beer & pizza pre game.

Here's hoping the Reds from two weeks ago not last week turn up ...

Woof Jack Hardy cant tackle for peanuts

27 min, so far 2 teams with little attack.

 

[Up the Guts]

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) has been immense.

Sorry I'm not seeing it. Good. Solid. Like all the pigs really. But immense? Not for me.

 

[Silverado]

Hard to watch. Skill level from both teams atrocious

Based on 20mins of rugby, or have you tracked him more throughout his career to this point?

Based on that one single horrendous miss where he had the winger cornered and didnt even manage to get a finger on him.
