I tend to agree with RH's line if a TV game takes attendees away though

A win is a win, but to me it makes me sad for the Rebels, they are having a good season
For me is good for a poor season

I though Hunt made more decent attacking decisions in that second half, than Ant has in the last year

Yeah I liked Karmichaels performance at 13, whilst he didn't have a lot of involvement I thought he made the right decisions when he was involved, straightened up the attack for the players outside him.. He wasn't finding the space himself but he was helping create space for others..

Finally getting to watch my recording of this game and spotted something that amused me. The front rowers club in full force.
At 56:40 Genia fires a long ball from a ruck to Hanson who runs and has JOC (James O'Connor) calling for it outside. What does Hanson do? Cut out pass to Slipper who is running outside of JOC (James O'Connor). Love it when the fatties get some space to show the Jessica's how it's done.

It would be interesting to see how Hunt performed against a side that could hold the ball long enough to attack. With ball in hand it was the most we have seen from Hunt, though for mine he was OK not outstanding and the best performance the Reds have put together with RG in the system.
I still haven't recovered from the trauma of Timana Tahu at 13 to want to rush to any judgements on Hunt's viability in the position after one game where he wasn't really tested that much in defence and he made a few bad reads in those conditions.

He's biggest error was putting on his boots. I reckon I saw him slip over three times hot on attack or moving in defence.
I was very sceptical, but now I think it's a good spot to ease him in. His hands were great for McIntyre's try but I think he lacks the wheels to maximise his career at 13.

Suncorp's pitch has been rubbish for years now, this year is the worst I have seen it though... Apparently the drainage system was never properly fixed following the 2011 floods

Largely second-rate greenkeepers and ditto the best grass-maintaining technologies.
Just compare Suncorp's pitch to that of Twickenham's on display tonight via the London 7s. London has far less sun, more rain, more squalls etc and just as big a 'shade overhangs' problem as does Suncorp here in sun-blessed Brisbane and Twikkers' surface looked 9.5/10 literally everywhere whereas Suncorp's looks around 3/10 if that.
And one totally unacceptable consequence of that score is that the side that must defend a scrum in the appalling NW corner area suffer a lottery of outcomes as the surface is simply shocking there.

Do you know that for a fact or are you speculating?
I think the biggest difference between Suncorp and Twickenham is that Suncorp had the Brisbane river on top of it. The best curators in the world would be struggling if the drainage is clogged with silt as suspected.

Aww, that's a bit rough on the groundskeepers dude.
Having half the solid contents of the Brisbane river deposited on its surface in 2011 severely shortened the lifespan of the drainage system - something that Twickenham has never had in the last 200 years I am sure.
Drainage technology has come a long way since this system was laid down - it will benefit by a new fitout now for sure. Stadiums Queensland just need to tell someone that they need to find a new home for a while (soccer - since they won't shaft the broncos and union virtually shares the same season)

RH when are you going to attribute the conditions at Suncorp to organisational malaise and hubris by the Reds, with a lack of a world wide search for top quality greenskeepers yielding the current results?
