Rebels vs Force, RD1 SR2013

[James Buchanan]

I'll be up in reserved seating during the game, but I'll probably go to Beer Deluxe at Fed Square beforehand if you're more partial to craft beers (as I am). Then again, I doubt you can go wrong with the Army, particularly if you'll be grabbing a GA ticket anyway.

Are force fans still bitter about JOC (James O'Connor) leaving?

some are not me with all the shit he was demanding i was happy to see him go. I guess its just like QLDers and Sharpe. My post was more to do with all stitches on his chin the opposition needs to get in is face to test him out.

 

[Tangawizi]

So who is taking a "Fugly Stalker" sign along?

......perhaps in hindsight, Melbourne is where JOC (James O'Connor) belonged all the time. I agree with Gaffa above....no player is bigger than the team. From a Force viewpoint JOC (James O'Connor) is yesterdays hero, we'll create/discover some new ones for us to cheer on.

Not a bad team for the Rebels, you will miss Vuna though. He's developing into a quality player.

 

[Forcefield]

I don't think we are bitter about JO'C. But now that he isn't one of us, we aren't prepared to overlook the really, really lame things he does. I think his hair is the case and point.

I imagine Queenslanders will be the same if/when Quade leaves them.

Even we struggle with his hair, i believe he is shaving it for charity. Get on board.

So pumped.

Me too.

Reb-els, Reb-els, Reb-els ...

Me too.

Reb-els, Reb-els, Reb-els .

Hopefully we give that "chant" a rest this season.

Hey Gaffa, how has Wykes gone at 6 in the trials?

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Hey Gaffa, how has Wykes gone at 6 in the trials?

The game against tonga he was at 4 with mmm and lynn spending time at 5. He was calling the lineout. He had a good combo going with lynn. So me calling him to beat 6 really is just me wanting to see him there with a mmm lynn lock combo. But wykes showed glimpses of the form he had in 2011 but i would say it will take him a few games to get back to his best.

Hopefully he can have a big season if he stays injury free. I agree, a Lynn, MMM and Wykes 4,5,6 combo does actually look quite good. If nothing else, it will provide plenty of lineout options. Wouldn't be such a bad idea to go with that combo to counter Pyle, Jones, Higgers and Delve at lineout time.

Never, it's a doozy.

Aswell as mccalman at 8 as a limeout option
