this will probably be close.
the Rebels to dominate possession and territory but gain no ground, and only score from the penalties given away by the Reds.
The Reds stick to the game plan from RG (kick deep and kick often) and unable to capitalise from all the turnover ball the Rebels give them.
as i posted earlier Cripple fight.
i forecast Reds to steal a close encounter in the dying moments through a JOC (James O'Connor) intercept as the Rebels were about to score in the corner (after 20 phases from 5 metres out) and put the game to bed. Leafa to cough up a bad pass from Burgo, straight into O'Connors hands having initially misread the defence and was beaten all ends up.
EDIT: alternatively one team may finally find form and totally thrash the oither

He was always going, he signed to Bath then it fell through and they signed Matawalu so they shipped him off to Stade, the confirmation was today but I heard it was a done deal months ago.
So for him probably not then, but what about his teammates? I get the professionalism thing, but I bet a lot didn't know he was off. When the news breaks is always the awkward time.
Still, good on him. Guess having kids changes your perspective on a lot of things. Limited time to make his millions and all.
Now, the race for scrum half understudy is down little red and.....

He's been "distracted" for 3 years
Everybody knew he was going, going somewhere.
RG can now select Frisby at half.
He will be good

Rebels by 10.
Somebody has to say it and usually there are a few.
I hope the boys have not dropped their heads. We do look good going forward until we get within 10 m of the try line, however we may as well have witches hats out at the wings for all the attacking ball they get and the defense out there has been about as effective.
In fact I think we will win, go into the bye, get flogged by the Brums in Canberra and lose all momentum again

Frisby, if selected, will suffer the same problems as Genia. The structure doesn't support the halfback.Things will have to change at the Reds for our halfback to look decent.

I'd be surprised.
RG has to put what he thinks is the best side on the park every week from here on in. No time for development, because his job's at risk (and probably gone, but winning is the only way to save it).
If he thought Frisby was the #1 half he'd already be playing.

I wonder if the Wallaby powers have anything to do with it? Resting him might be on their instruction.

Sounds good, you tell the rebels boys to call it quits at 60, I'll make sure the reds understand what's happening.
I we let Graham deliver the message, my money is on us going hard the full 80.
I like it.

I dont think you lose too much by starting Hanson over Fainga'a, it's good that his getting a rest and can help come on and 'hopefully' help close the game out.

The game after Genia's last contract signing was one of his best. He seems to allow himself to get really distracted by it all but also seems to drag it out longer than would seem necessary. With the deal announced and his future sorted I think we will see him unshackled tonight and back to playing Rugby because he loves it.
On the game itself, a few Rebs fan s have predicted that we will snatch it at the death. I will tell you right now, that if it's close at the end, the Rebels will win. We have zero confidence in our ability to score points and our ability to close out a close game is non-existent. See last weeks game for a prime example.
Anyway, no idea who will win tonight. I think Rugby will be the real loser.

Well we all have to help out where we can.

I'm not sure you meant any harm mate but your language sounds sounds like a large put down to people who have trouble with uncontrollable issues and have to live with negative stigma throughout their lives. I know the burden it leaves them and respectfully ask you choose your words a little more wisely.
