He's been NSW's MVP in these games. Meanwhile, whatever Chekk said was clearly the goods.
That said, I reckon that stupid super hero outfit was partly to blame for the Reds' performance too.

I think he said "go out and win it for me boys". Interesting to see where Graham ends up coaching wise and what the Reds will look like next year. Does anyone think JOC (James O'Connor) warrents WC selection?

He started poorly, but got better as the game went on, fair play

Just home from the match. First half was as bad a 40 minutes of rugby as you'll see at the professional level. Waratahs picked it up in the second half and deserved winners.
Referee was very ordinary, you'd think they'd give a game like that to one of the better referees.
Waratahs need to dispense with the system where the crowds votes for the man of the match. Embarrasing that Foley announced - a very ordinary game from him.

I will not be renewing my Reds membership if Richard Graham is allowed to destroy the Reds team again next season! #WARvRED #superrugby

I didn't think the first half was that bad, was really committed, physical defence from both sides. Put the playmakers under pressure, and mistakes came.
Tahs gradually got on top thanks to their big forward runners. Carraro was also good at 12, silenced Kerevi completely.

That's what I thought when I saw this at the game.
Went home, put the replay on. You can clearly see that the Reds player is looking at Folau in the lead up to the jump. As he sees Folau take off for the ball, he makes a token effort to jump into Folau with his arms up. He also looks up to when Folau is jumping so as to make it seem like he is looking at the ball.
In other words, the Reds player has no idea where the ball is and is not genuinely contesting the ball. Definitely a penalty.
The best examples of the difference in the coaching of the two sides was McKibbon's, Pot's & Dennis's tries. In the lead up to each of them, Foley had running options in motion on the inside and out to create doubt in the defender's minds.

Jeez I dunno. There were dozens like that last night. Sally Fitzgibbons was around somewhere too, looking hot to trotHey Tahs supporters, who is that girl? (The left)
I'm in love
Could have been a bit about the pressure being exerted as well
He was well offside with the Tahs in the red zone hot on attack with the Reds back peddling, actually if he was back peddling quicker, he wouldn't have ended in the bin
