Re: Queensland Reds vs Melbourne Rebels 11th May

Anyone who's never seen the Reds lose has clearly been very selective in the matches they've attended over the last 20 years!

I've watched the Reds lose many, many games, but also watched most of their big wins too, which eases the pain a bit. Should be there this weekend hopefully.

Can't see how he gets anywhere near the Wallabies this year unless Schmidt has a "you must pick Suli" clause in his contract.

Re: SRP Rd 10 Reds v Blues

f**king disappointed, but still one of the best games I've been to in recent times. Deserved better than a 16k crowd. From my vantage point also deserved a better ref, although not his fault we threw the game away in the closing minutes.

I don't really have a problem with the idea of getting rid of the current board, but as far as I can tell the replacements these guys want have not been named? How are we expected to support a coup if we don't know who it is we're supporting? Or what their plan is when they're sitting on the throne?

I mean, if someone threw a massive swinging arm and missed completely, there's intent but no actual contact. Would/should they still be sanctioned?

I’m again baffled How does Fraser get 3 weeks for a head-clash and the Drua guy get two weeks for a head-butt? The tribunal is a farce.
