Waratahs v Reds - Friday 31/5

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Yeah this is a members game + Norths v Manly supporters that are every chance of walking out by half time

 

[redstragic]

Any idea why Tom is not starting?

Any idea why Tom is not starting?

He copped a boot to the head that looked to have needed stitching last week.

He played on but possibly an injury management thing

 

[GTPIH]

No Harrison. Is he injured or is just giving Bowen a chance since Harrison is gone next year?

Parting gift maybe? We won't send you out to get injured so you can get paid.

Happy for Bowen to get a start but it's also a brutal game to be thrown into with a weird mood to it. Hope he can have a good showing and give us some options for next year.

Not necessarily defending the Tahs here but it's also a bit hard to get up for the promo.

"Come watch our coach in his last game in Super Rugby where we will probably get flogged by the Reds who are going to play finals and might rest their best players at halftime".

Then don't sign them up to do the promo. Burning bridges like this by not showing up won't help them if they're trying to drum up support next year.

Is this the State of Origin's thread? Lol

 

[Marce]

Paddy Ryan back for a start! A welcome back and a farewell?

Did he play in Japanese Rugby this year?

 

[fatprop]

hopefully Paddy is over his overextension collapses, but I doubt it

 

[liquor box]

I am a bit worried about this game, my Reds coffee mug broke at work today. I hope it is not a bad omen, at least it was not in a finals week.

 

[Pfitzy]

Nothing to lose. Absolutely nothing.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Nothing to lose. Absolutely nothing.

I hope nobody gets injured impacting next season or the finals for the Reds.

Such a sad way to view this game.

I do want the Tahs to just rip the hell in though. Just don’t know if the cattle is there to do it for 80 mins.

 

[Braveheart81]

Did he play in Japanese Rugby this year?

Yes. He was the starting THP in the last round of the comp in early May for Black Rams Tokyo.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Love the idea he was back on holidays and got a call or even better caught at the pub by DC.

That's passion! Something we need

Weather: Light showers from 7:00 pm. Just wet enough to make it greasy. Tahs handling is U-10s quality when dry. Not looking forward to an impressive spectacle tonight.

 

[redstragic]

I am so pumped right now, I worked from home and watched the Force game twice today. Hurry up Ref and blow the whistle for the festival of hate to begin.

NSW U10s don’t deserve this.

Club game was more entertaining than any tahs game this year.

Hooper is a genuine breath of fresh air in coverage.

Funny it never seemed to come across while playing but probably did inside squads when he was always a leader.
