Sorry, mate. But in the week of the festival of hate, free hits must be taken.

IMO the Reds backline have been poor. How do you not utilise the strong set piece provided by the pack week in week out, especially last week to not score a single try. There was about 4 tight heads inside the attacking 22 and about 6 Lineout steals inside the half. They bombed about 4 tries atrocious..
Will be funny to see two of the highest paid Reds in Hunt and JOC (James O'Connor) play NRC at the seasons end.
Reds forwards to shake up Tahs at set piece. Tahs backline to light up with Taqele to score 3 tries against Lachie Turner a la Nemani Nadolo.
Tahs 35-12 Reds

Hardly Festival of Hate given the performance of the Banjolanders this year.
More like The Red Shield Appeal - A Festival of Pity.
As a Waratahs fan this week, it's more like the Festival of Don't Fuck Up Your Chances of Finishing Second.
I never take the Reds for granted, even when they were in the dark years pre-Link, they had a nasty habit of de-flowering the Tahs. I expect a torrid affair.
Sounds a bit Mills and Boon all of a sudden.

Yep. Then you won't have to play an away quarter final against lowest ranked team in the finals.

Ah, The Festival of Hate
No oubt the Reeds will be ready for the over cofident (as they have been sincFederation) and '"ucky to win the title last year " Waratahs.
Reds to smash 'em up front. Holmes will probably outplay Keps to the extent he will be the THP starter against the Boks. Gilly to assert his authority over Hooper. Skelton, if he plays will be so fired up a yellow card or dare I say a red will surely follow. Cooper will show Foley how a real 10 plays and unseat him for Boks test. Turner will bump those NSW monster backs and score 2 tries.
The best part will be RG's victory speech. I hope he shows Chek the respect he deserves.

Amongst many others, there's one simple reason why it's a virtual certainty the Tahs, with a markedly superior attack, will beat the Reds and very probably with a 5-pointer.
The D word. The Reds' defence has been appalling all year, especially the outer flanks which the best teams v Reds have successfully attacked relentlessly. After the Cheetahs (we know how that ended for the Tahs) we have the single worst PA in the comp at 403 vs the Tahs 308.
And D never gets fixed in one week. If the structures and trained-in techniques are wrong, all the 'last game against the old enemy' attitude-boosting will count for little.

I'm sorry for my keyboard skills NH.
I'm recently partially blind (deadly serious) so a mistake or 2 should be forgiven....

Sad response but I suppose to be expected from such a class act

Huh? I'm genuinely sorry that you have a serious health issue. I was trying to keep my response a bit light hearted and reference it back to being the Festival of Hate week.
Sorry if you took offence.

Thanks for THAT response/
Partial blindness is fucking unbelievably confronting.
Now, back to the Festival
