Reds 2017

^^^^
Absolutely no shock there, whatsoever.

Yes, indisputably the most inexplicable year-after-year-after-year Reds squad and run-on selection whom has NEVER ONCE consistently delivered on his early promise and on top of which has had endless 'season ending' injuries.

Yet no place or viable offer could be found for Greene or Mason so we live with the horror of awaiting Jake McInyre's re-emergence when the inevitable QC (Quade Cooper) injury or RC happens all over again.

Bloody hell another hammy injury for CFS?

RC happens all over again.

So if/when it happens again, he will be very controlling?

You may have accidentally made a genius pun RH

I have not tried to pick bonus points and for some reason think the Reds have a fair chance of an upset against the Brumbies.

Looks like the final round could be the deciding factor for our conference, despite the poor results at least we will have the potential for an exciting game from Perth in the last week.

I think from memory my pass mark for the season was to be within a mathematical chance going into the last week of the season to make the finals. Amazingly my picks, if correct mean we are only a win off this mark or three bonus points.


It is interesting to think that with a couple of upsets we can still make the finals!

If this miracle was to happen would we all be happy with the season?

Reds v Blues in Suva must be the best chance of an Aus v NZ victory all year.

And it's not that good a chance

^^^^^^^^ Bloos play the B&IL five days later. Given their Super Rugby season is gone, they might decide to field a less than full strength side & focus more on the once-in-a-career Lions match. I doubt the Reds could contain the Bloos first team but if Tana leaves some of his big guns behind they're in with a decent shot.

Reds to beat Brumbies and Blues.

It's on in Apia actually.

Probably a fair chance as it will be stinking hot & ridiculously humid and Blues may not know what him them when they step off the plane. Better chance than played in Auckland anyway

Reds should be on 24 points - you only gave them 2 points for the force game (while picking them to win)

They lost 2 points for style.

even better! if we win in fiji then we make the finals, a few fluke wins in a row and we win the lot.

They mustn't have nailed the landing.

Apia is in Samoa... it's same, same but different to Fiji. Less direct flights there from Brisbane too.

Reds are paying around $20 to win the Oz conference now. Bookies think the Brumbies have it in the bag.

Probably don't have to be a bookie to figure that out

 

[Brumby Runner]

Still a premature call imo.

I reckon the Brumbies need to win two of their last four games and they won't be caught.

They're right to be red hot favourites. If the Brumbies win two games the Tahs have to win one of their matches in NZ which is very unlikely.

It's the If that worries me.

If you can't beat the Rebels and Reds, you probably deserve to miss the finals

 

[Ignoto]

Feauai-Sautia scored a try and made several linebreaks in an eye-popping return at outside centre before he went off with a hamstring twinge.​

You'd have to think that at this stage of his career where you spend more time on the sidelines than you do on the pitch, that the curtain should be falling? Unless CFS is on bugger all money, having him on the books would be a huge liability and that cash could be used to retain a promising U20.

We all deserve to miss the finals regardless.

I agree re CFS but do we need another promising U20? How many of those have worked out for us recently?

Let's chase the best person available for the funds.
