^^^^ Don't you go all @PaarlBok on us, Boet.
Can I ask how old your little girl is? Mine is 18months and I haven't yet taken her to a game yet but I'm itching to commence the religious education. My wife has prior commitments on Sat night so I'm on my own with the little one and am very tempted to take her in.Cannot wait for this weekend, first game for my daughter and second for Mrs redstragic. Last time she came with me, it was one of Quade's early games where he dropped the ball heaps and we got caned.
Let's go Reds, give us something yo believe in.
Like when Qld was NSW?Tags will be full of themselves as usual Overconfident and all of that
Since Federation and before that has always been their mindset.
When the Reds come out firing, full of physicality the Tahs will buckle under the onslaught.
I think the only bloke in NSW team who WILL handle the pressure will be Foley
On paper Tahs should win by 20 plus but this is Qld v NSW
QLD to win comfortably

Daley is a mystery to me. He's supposedly a gym junkie and works hard, but he's just never progressed in his scrummaging ability. I don't know if it's just some technique problem that he can't overcome or some other reason, but he's just not up to this level with his scrummaging ability.
Which is a shame, as he has a great built for a prop, he is busy around the park and he is a good ball carrier.
A couple of years back when they tried converting Anae to hooker I think they got the wrong bloke. I recon they should have converted Daley.
The problem he has now is game time to develop. He is hitting that age where props come of age but now not as the favored starter, he just doesn't see the game time to bed the craft down.

My little man is at 14 months, but he's crazy active. I couldn't imagine him sitting still on my lap for 5 minutes, let alone a whole game - he'd go crazy. I wish you luck taking a boy under about 3 to the game, not sure it could end well.
Living in Sydney, I hope my boy will support Queensland, or at the very least the Reds, but to be fair I can understand if he chooses NSW.
"When I look at a player [like O'Connor] and think that player is really good at doing things – like he is an executor - he is a great runner, has great vision, has great agility, has great instinct. It's rare that player can play in the restricted position. A player of that capacity wants to be actually achieving things himself. Those positions [Nos. 9 and 10] require someone who understands his limited contribution to the overall good. Some are capable of both, but it's not common. That's why I would not play [Waratah] Kurtley Beale and James O'Connor at five-eighth.
"That sort of player in general is best suited to No. 13 - possibly to wing or fullback where you haven't got people outside you depending on things you do."

Bob is no guru anymore but he finally goy something rightDwyer isn't a fan of JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 either
Currently at least. Reds will clearly improve when Holmes returns.
I don't know if I definitely agree with Hawko but that's what he's saying.
The Force's reserve front row is currently a basket case and the Smith twins at the Brumbies not very good at scrum time.
I'd have to think a bit about the reserve front rows from NZ and South Africa before deciding on their various merits.
