Will Sadie have that look on his face the whole game?

Nah he is a bit of a softie. Look much better after scoring a try. You may enjoy that.

I don't know about that..

Has this been posted already?

Reds:

Rod Davies, Dom Shipperley, Jono Lance, Ben Tapuai, Luke Morahan, Dallan Murphy, Will Genia,

Jake Schatz, Beau Robinson, Scott Higginbotham, James Horwill (capt), Rob Simmons, Greg Holmes, Saia Fainga'a, Ben Daley.

Reserves: James Hanson, James Slipper, Radike Samo, Van Humphries, Liam Gill, Nick Frisby, Nathan Eyres-Brown.

Looking at that lineup I hope the Reds keep the game in the forwards..as it is a pretty untested and inexperienced backline.

I trust Link but find some selections interesting. Daley back in? No disrespcet to Ben but on a horses for courses logic I would of kept Holmes and Slipper and used Daley at the back end of the game when we needed a boost in energy. Speaking of energy at the back end of the game that bench is a bloody cracker.

Go the mighty Reds. Another chance to make the doubters eat crow.

Not feeling quite as pessimistic as I did early in the week..............

I think link is doing a great job of managing his players. I think only kev and Higgers are the only players not to be rested yet.

[Sully]

Haha...

He strained his glute in training, nothing to do with the lineout.

So a good weekend for the Aussie teams so far, so go get 'em Reds.

 

[No4918]

I'd tipped the Tahs and Brums to go down so lets hope it comes in threes.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

As did I.

 

[meatsack]

hmmm... when Kaplan sent that decision upstairs, he said he thought it was a knock on in the field of play after the initial placement, but wanted to check the initial placement. The TMO said it was short, but not a knock on, I thought the TMO wasn't allowed to provide information outside of what was asked, and also weren't allowed to comment on things that happened outside of the in goal area?

 

[Sully]

Yeh I was pissed with that.

Lance struggling with the boot off the tee

I like that Slipper fired up there at that scrum on half time though.

 

[vidiot]

TMO didn't even look at the knock-on incident, but said no knock on. Amateur hour.

I was pleased to see Fainga'a yanked, he turned the ball over every two minutes for awhile there. And the sight of Slipper trotting on was something of a relief also. But long way back from here, especially with Lance (who is otherwise going well) missing those penalties.

Murphy is barely a speed bump, I think Quade is a better tackler.

Can someone please clarify the legality of the attackers binding before contact?

 

[RedsHappy]

Gee, at half time at Loftus, Reds are getting almost totally dominated, Bulls forwards impressive as ever.

Reds missing tackles, forward passes, 2 relatively easy penalty kicks missed, not straight line out throws, Murphy disappointing. What's to like...not much, Reds look vulnerable at every turn...partly as Bulls' forwards are so dominant, squared.

Very hard to see much else but an unconvincing loss, possibly by quite a bit.

 

[vidiot]

Vans on. About time.
