Reds v Waratahs Rd 18 2012

[emuarse]

Winning games is very much about attitude.
I believe the Reds attitude to win this game is significently greater than the Waratahs, who are only trying to prevent a whitewash of losses.
The Reds will give it everything over the last quarter, but need to have two tries to their credit in the first three quarters.

 

[Scoey]

Realistically, on a heavy track I think we will need a quick start to have any chance of a BP. We will need a try inside the first 20 and hopefully 2 by halftime. If we're chasing 3+ tries in the 2nd half the anxiety levels may get too high and start causing errors. Obviously, come kick off, the eternally optomist that resides inside me will be sure we can grab 3 tries inside the last 5 mins but my internal optomist isn't always right.

 

[The Red Baron]

I would like 3 tries in the first 5 minutes. Really break the spirit of the Tahs in the first few minutes. Then just toy with them for the rest of the game.

I couldn't sleep last night. I tossed and turned finding no comfort in the company of my bed nor my lover beside me. Around 4am I decided to go for a run, having not performed this operation in some time I believe I overestimated my ability and will to do so and as I sat resting in the bus stop that positions itself several meters from the frontbgate,i thought, what would Tom Carter do. The answer is simple "f@#k shit up". Let's face It, the myth of this all out attack that yields only 2 more try's than the Tahs this season and one less last, it's time it ended, they won a championship,it was good but natural order dictates that even the humble fly will get lucky and kill a spider every now and then.

A waratah is fragile, it sits upon a stem thin and tall, it's natural defense is to move in the direction it's blown, humbled and at the mercy of the elements around it. A koala on the other hand is neither red nor fascinating, their boring blobs of std carrying rodent bear. Perhaps when our forefathers named these teams over a hundred years ago, they new..............

Problem there is WJ, the Koala has a trophy that the flower has never laid a petal on. Must come down to luck eh?

I addressed that.

 

[RugbyReg]

this game will very much show the culture within the Waratah system. If they play negative footy, intentionally slowing down the game more to deny the Reds a final position that as a tactic to win the game, then the place is poison.

They need to get out there and just play their game to win the match.

I'll be very interested to see what happens.

If the weather stays, the track will be fine. Suncorp will be dry as a bone. Just checked the weather forecast however and its suggesting rain is developing to showers.

Either way, I believe the Reds will take it to the Tahs in the forwards and that will be where the game will be won.

Nice post WJ.

 

[The Red Baron]

This is the type of Koala I hope the precious petals come up against tonight:

Oh God! It's a blind orphan monkey goat!

[Schadenfreude]

Turned up early - pre-game was moved to Ballymore.

Massive fail.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Massively pumped after the Brumbies result.

 

[redstragic]

Tahs have been warming up for 15 minutes and all I have seen them do is kick to each other???

Omen? Game plan?

All will be revealed in an hour or so.

Our mob are looking good. The coffee grounds reading was Waratahs positive.

May have gone overboard on the Red tonight Mr Doug.
