Fair criticism....
Take 2:
shudders.. more remnants of the Robbie Deans' Wallaby era in former assistant coaches Patricio Noriega and Jim Williams, no one can escape these nightmarish flashbacks it seems!

That was the scrum makeup that led to collapsed scrums being play on if the ball could get past the front row's feet. Still a blight on the game today.

I think it was posted as a response to Wamberal having a dig at the Brumbies front row.
Odd that he posted it as a reply to Ignoto then.

Is that a blight? As few scrum resets as possible sounds good to me.

Not me, for a change. Bill Young played for Eastwood, so I wouldn't have criticised him.

Had a few drinks after work in the Brisbane CBD. Most of the chat was who’s going to the Reds and where will we meet for a beer beforehand. How good is that.
Wasn’t that long ago I was having a few drinks in town on a Friday arvo with the Reds playing in NZ at 4.30 and no one even knew the game was on.

I seem to recall that Alexander was Robbie's first choice tighthead for a decent period, then was shifted to loosehead to cover during some injuries to the incumbents, I swear it was during the B&I Lion's series, and was much to the dismay of Wallabies supporters?

The vibe is pumping. I had a meeting in the city yesterday and on arrival the receptionist had a Reds jersey on, and walked through to the boardroom and the CEO, CFO and two others also had Reds jerseys on. I didn’t even know they followed rugby. We talked about Thorn and the Reds for half an hour. I’m pumped.

A bit of a lol moment but also sad, Foxsports main page today nothing in the top headlines for the Grand Final.
In fact they have a local derby countdown for the two shittest teams in the NRL Cowboys v Broncos as the headline banner.
I get that Fox cut their rugby ties, but no matter how you feel about them, the brand Fox Sports is synonymous with sports in Australia. Limited exposure on their media outlets doesn’t help our game.

This haa to be the biggest crowd ever for a match between 2 Australian teams surely?

Agree. It’s a very sad reflection on modern media where they increasingly use their inflluence to drive self interest instead of providing a balanced view. Unfortunately I don’t see it changing.

What's it up to now? There'll be some gate tickets and a few people piling in in the next few hours as well but it looks like it'll be huge
