Round 6: Reds v. Hurricanes, April 1st

[redstragic]

Look guys, I have been wanting to offer my penetrating insights on this match all week. But have got caught up in all the fun, it has been a bit of a bleak year thus far and does not promise to improve anytime soon and any shared lightness has been a relief.

But I digress;

The team who ends the game with the most points will win. The Reds will have to work hard and be patient and make the most of their chances when they get them. They'll need to be disciplined and not give away too many free points.... something about being won up front..... also work hard in defence........

Rugbynutter; this having a laugh thing? You're doing it wrong.

OUR MISGUIDED COMRADE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG! ON THE CONTRARY. HE HAS BEEN WRONGED BY THE BOURGEOISIE HOARDING THE LAUGHTER! WHEN THE GLORIOUS REVOLUTION OF THE PROLETARIAT PREVAILS WE WILL DISTRIBUTE THE MEANS OF LAUGHTER EQUALLY ACROSS THE WORKING CLASS!

Taniela Tupou to start at loose head prop, Vanzati out with calf injury

Which one?

Maybe the incisor. With that one out of action, he just might not be able to slice through the defensive line.

Hitler loses his shit when he finds out the Reds are going to demolish his beloved Canes

oh god that was just glorious. marrying up "Stiles" at the start there? Godhead. at least 10 l0ls there

cant quite put my finger on it but for some reason I suddenly feel a bit unwell.

Well played, Sir!

 

[dillyboy]

It's pretty obvious isn't it.

Losing $10 instead of $20 makes him twice as successful this week!

That was the theory

If Tupou starts at LHP it increases our chances of continuing our yellow card run.

Nah I am breathing find usa rugger my mate - I just thinking you were being a bit of a knob with the rest of the usual supporter suspects I equally don't overly rate.(who are the true princesses desparate to be liked for what they have to say).

Better over at the roar I think.over and out.as don't give a crap what is offered in response as just the usual knob brigade who just likes your posts in any case.

Mate, then leave - stop derailing our proud and glorious celebration of all things Red. You wouldn't be the first self-victimizing poster we've had on here and I doubt you'll be the last.

Great to see the Thor start at LHP.

Will look forward to an improvement at scrum time and a heavy workload around the field for 60-70 minutes, tackling and running.

Pretty defining moment for the lad and it will be interesting to see how he handles the expectation.

 

[liquor box]

I hope Thor smashes them at scrum time, he will want to prove he is a starter and I expect big things.

I hope this week the passes to him are well timed, he over ran a Frisby pass last week in a set move and would have destroyed the defence.

I would put him in backline for attacking line outs next to Kerevi, when QC (Quade Cooper) returns he has the ability to hit either man and it would be a nightmare to defend.

 

[TOCC]

Tupou just needs to focus on scrummaging, he is playing out of position which makes it harder, containing the Hurricanes scrum is his primary objective..

 

[Scrubber2050]

Well he should relish the slightly lighter work load in the scrum. He hasn't been too flash at THP so maybe LHP may be the go.

He needs to work as a prop, do the hard work around the ruck. He also, if possible needs to back up Kerevi on the inside. That's where his breaks will come. No doubt he will be targeted by the Canes forwards up the middle.

COMRADE THOR WILL STAND STRONG LIKE THE PILLARS OF GREAT KREMLIN

I don't think he has been too bad, last week he was pretty steady and did not seem to be pushed back from what I recall.
