You old softy.
Beau should be back:
@beaurobbo: “@Pree22: @beaurobbo hey when r u gona be bak playing?” hopefully this wkn
Can't wait. As far as shutting down SBW, we may not be able to do it for the full 80, So I think we'll have to go out with a mindset to score more points as well.
In regards to the rugby I think the Reds showed last week how to stop a destructive ball runner. Ant has made a big difference to the team since he has been back along with Diggers, lifted the confidence in everyone around them. Lucas and Harris also seem to have picked up their defensive efforts, back to the level of last year. If the forwards can make life hard for the Chiefs and the backs continue with the quick line speed I think they could keep them quiet.

Seeing as we all pitched in the least you can do is tell us your plan.

I took my son for his first game when he was 2. Going this weekend as well (he is now 3).
My advice:
1. Ensure you have some snacks at hand. Bribery may be required if she starts getting bored.
2. Break it down to her level to engage her in the game - a lineout is a 'jump', and scrum is a 'push' etc
3. All else fails, then point out the Koala and Dragon. She will probably like them more.

Yes. Moreover Jets it's been consistent and major lapses in the quality of defence that has hurt the 2012 Reds the most of any isolatable category of problem in our matches to date. The game v Force away was appalling, as were, for example, the lazy let-ins of the Stormers' tries. Let's not kid ourselves, this is been as large or larger a points leakage problem than has come from individual or aggregate injuries and is one of the principal reasons why our BPs are so low in terms of losing margin. And it's still something of an unexplained mystery as to how a team with such exemplary defence through the whole of 2011, can deteriorate as much as we did in this respect for so many of 2012's games.
It was massively encouraging that the game v Cru was, hopefully, the defining turning point in this costly problem. As McKenzie has stated today, to keep the Cru tryless at home for the first time in 12 years is simply exceptional. And we all know that great defence builds confidence in every other part of a team's game skill.
So, let's look forward to Sunday with much hope!

I agree. It takes a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck to win a title. We have lacked the little bit of luck this year with injuries and it has cost the team dearly. Swings and round about's though, because we had a little bit of luck last year as well.
It was the same in 2010 with the losses to the blues and sharks. Reds were good enough to win both but couldn't turn the performance into points.
Here's hoping they go undefeated in the next 6 games. But I doubt any team will with the way the comp is this year.

Yeah Scotty, but as you've observed before, it's the major BP gap between us and the Brums that's really hurting our chance of a come back to win the Aus Conf.: Reds 2, Tahs 6, Brums 7. That is, we could have (just) lived with the losses, if they'd been 'better quality' losses.

He's not elusive. FTA showed how to shut him down last year many times. Hit hard and low, knock him down.

Yep, as did Lucas, remember one superb hit he made on SBW v Cru. SWB looked up and just wondered what happened.

You don't think the losses against Stormers,Bulls and Force would help keep Reds out of top 6?? Not quite sure of your reasoning there Scotty.

They were two games the Reds were in with a shot at winning perhaps?
I'll warrant they'll have to fight Mr Timms for a shot at #shipsanity4. Heaps
And a few blokes as well I'll warrant

What don't you get? of the games they have lost they were the 2 that they really let slip amd should have come away with wins.
