Gees four Wallabies on the bench including the entire back up front row.

No wonder we're underdogs

Oh no no Reg, it won't be that easy to claim underdog status.

Against your, what, 7 Wallabies in the starting XV?

And the two Wallabies who failed to make the 23 overall? (Douglas and Houston)?

The Force have two Wallabies in their starting XV and a bloke in the backline who has stumbled, fumbled and bumbled his way to a starting position despite being the least capable Super player of all time.

I speak, of course, of Brache.

Reds by 50.
Brache with at least 4 handling errors.

Edit: hyper paranoid about being banned after my last warning for "abusive" comments or something to that effect so here's something nice about Brache: after everytime he has a handling error he generally makes a linebreak to get you scratching your head about whether you hate him, love him or just want to write more posts about him in the never ending Brache-circle-jerk.

So theres that.

Please don't ban me...

haha this thread has taken an entertaining turn

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^vvvv>>>><<<< - I can't decide which way I'm going on this one.

 

[The torpedo]

Reds by 50.

You put too much faith in the reds. They will figure out a way to somehow fuck up and lose this game

 

[Ruggo]

This game will either be a great contest which it has the potential to be or an absolute dire shit fest.

The only firm conclusion I can get at this point is that either way I will need to put a few extra beers in the fridge before watching.

I'd put them in your belly before watching - they'll be far more effective that way.

The mathematical formula for determining your Shiggins coefficient (§) is:

§ = ((alcohol % x number of drinks x (position of Western Force on ladder/position of opposition on ladder)) / time until match in hours )

 

[bloodred]

The forward battle should be good but the Reds will prevail in the backs. Reds by 18

The Ready non playing is interesting.

He obviously has not played that well and after a fairly stellar season last year. I said at the time of signing Moore that this would be a problem - and so it has come to pass. Fucking shame all round. Plenty on here supported the signing of Moore in that he could mentor Ready, Ready would learn a lot from him and that Ready wouldn't be upset about Moore's signing. Plenty of egg all round methinks.

Only bright light is the emergence of Mafi.

the egg is all on Ready's face I reckon if he's decided to drop his bundle over this. Shows an interesting attitude when things get tough.

Hopefully he can turn it around and rediscover his mojo.

Reg
You are probably right but rugby players can be sensitive beasts and the mind can play funny tricks.

To play well, you need all things working pretty well.

Personally I think Reday will be lost to the Reds (although I hope not)

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Shiggins coefficient (§)

 

[ChargerWA]

The Force were straight up woeful against the Clan. Didn't turn up mentally at all. But this week with Hodgo back as (C) they'll come out swinging. On paper the Reds should finger puppet us, but I think it will be within 7 either way.

 

[cyclopath]

If a cat fall's in Shiggins's lunge-room, and noone was their too see it, can we defiantly blame Kurt Schrodinger, the ref?

Now Mafi is getting Moore's Knowledge!

 

[Scrubber2050]

^^^^^^
And playing pretty well

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Now Mafi is getting Moore's Knowledge!

So basically, Moore's law.

<<insert joke about how, conversely, ARU seem to be currently operating under some sort of "Reverse Moore's law" paradigm, hahahaha get it ah fine fuckyuz then just fucken walk off see if i fucken care>>

 

[brokendown]

can't see how the Force can get up for this one-no matter how desperate they want to win, the lead weighted baggage they have to wear(along with the Rebels) is too much
If the Reds can't win by 30-they should be boned
