By Christ I enjoyed that win. Almost as much as reading some comments on here.

That was actually a brave effort from the Reds tonight. Lose your skipper after 10, and then have another in the bin at a the same time. Tremendous effort not to be totally smashed. Very brave if you ask me.
The only good thing about this game was the western force players. It shows how good they would of been this year. God knows why Meeks didnt start the game though. Clearly one of the best in Australia.
That Rebels back line will be the bomb by the end of the season. Genia was head and shoulders the MOM and Maddocks is one to keep an eye on for sure.
As an after thought, some of the vitriol being aimed at Thorn I think is pretty misguided.
He didn’t make Higgers shoulder charge someone’s head. He didn’t make Tui drive Genia into the turf on his head.
My 2 cents. Higgers yellow, Tui red. Pretty much the same result.I assume the red card thing has been done to death. My opinion: it was fucking red, and the angle from behind Philip proves it. If you don't understand why, we can't have a discussion.
Its Higginbotham's denial that should be cause for most concern: "Just a tackle mate been doing that the last 12 years".
Yes, you tit. But the laws have changed and that's why The Universe According to Higgers is no longer a thing.
Brad is responsible for the culture, something that the Reds have been making a lot of noise over. A culture loosely of "manning up". We saw both sides of that issue last night. One side being continuing to play rugby when down for basically the whole game. But we saw the risk too - complete wrong side of appropriate play across a number of players. Certainly two of them including captain.
I read it as Brad being very green as a coach. I don't read it as Brad being ineffective in all areas.
We really need to see more game time, preferably with 15 on the park. One thing for sure - Brad is not the mesiah that some have been calling.
I think it is also far too early to judge Brad as a rookie coach. I think people should cut him some slack and give him a bit of time personally.
My 2 cents. Higgers yellow, Tui red. Pretty much the same result.
