I have to say watching the replay, Daley gives away 6 points in the first 25 minutes. Sorry Ben, but you need time some time at club level. Holmes to start , Anae to sub next week.

Daley again, at 29 looses the ball that leads to the blues try. Holy F##.

While it is good that the NZ Conference is clearly the weakest I cast my mind back to the early 2000's when the Soap Dodgers were pretty ordinary and easily beaten. This was prior to us getting done in Bill 2003.
Form matters for nothing between RWC's.
Are the Darkness playing mind games with us with their weak conference this year?

First Australian team to complete a clean sweep of the kiwi teams in the professional era is an impressive stat...
Reds looking pretty dammed fatigued after 2 wins and a draw against the top 3 teams in the past 3 weeks...
Might need to rotate some of the boys.
As for comments against the crowd, what a ridiculous statement, at least queenslanders boo the ref and not their own bloody team.

The Blues played outstanding and as Link pointed out they played our own game plan at us. That said they threw everything including the kitchen sink at us and would you know we also tackled said kitchen sink. That was a pretty amaizing effort from the Reds in defense and the sheer amount of it they had to do was immense.
For different reasons both sides were just awsome. So was Sir John's comments after the game.
Both sides earnt my respect after that game.

Gutted that we lost. Was playing a gig last night so had one eye on the TV while playing but Mrs Bullrush filled me in on a few details. She kept going on about how lazy Ali Williams was in the last 20min or so.
I mentioned Henry factor earlier and I think the defence is starting to show proof of his impact.
Even though I wish we won, if the Blues keep playing like this, they will definitely be around come play-offs.

Great win by Reds
Made more tackles in first half than whole game last week (i reckon)
To win a game with only 40% of the ball also says something about the team with 60% not winning
Daley very rusty but toughed it out for as long as he could.
Wow - those Blues turnovers were incredible - the nuumber and frequency just stopped the Reds getting the momentum at crucial periods of the game.
Taps not playing well ATM and the Jono missed tackle directly lead to that Blues try.
Cooper continues to increase his impact on games

Was at game, and boy another cracker in my opinion. Obviously game could of gone either way, surprised Blues didn't appear to have droppie in their playbook at end of game, or perhaps the old heads in forwards just wanted to play for try or penalty, but regardless anyone moaning that ref is to blame for win or loss is barking up wrong tree, noticed a few things I thought he missed both ways, but nothing too much.

Did they know it was a four try bonus point or did they think it wanna four goal bonus point? Cynical rugby Reds
I think you are confusing cynical and clinical.
Reds hardly penalised all night, so definitely not cynical. Butchered a lot of good field position so I wouldn't say clinical either.

I almost fell off my chair.
You just said something positive about the Reds. Feeling ok?

When I said that they were playing cynical rugby it was said with my tongue wedged very firmly in my cheek as could be seen with the smiley face that accompanied the post. But as you're being so defensive about what was meant to be a joke....Clinical? Not the word I would have used either. Lucky..closer to the mark. What a difference a week makes.

Just because the ref didn't penalise, doesn't mean there wern't offenses. Last week the brums did what they had to do to get as many points as they could, this week the reds played similarly. If Joubert started calling all the ruck stuff there would have been cards this week, heaps just got let go. Not saying that the reffing was unfair, that's just what reds supporters said last week.

The reds played similar to the brumbies?
No, the reds didn't not intentionally commit offenses everytime the Blues got near the line (not that it happened much). The reds and blues were both extremely disciplined in their defense.
A big difference to how the brumbies played.
