I've never watched the Reds lose a game live. And that's going back to the 90's.

Admittedly, I usually only go to Reds matches when they play loser teams like those random South African teams, the Highlanders and the Crusaders but I stand by my strike rate.

Is it true that the referee team were all from QLD and all grew up wanting to play for the Reds? Crusaders won the penalty count 14-7 and it still not enough for you to take a loss on the chin. The won the penalty count by double and were awarded a try where the ball was clearly a couple of inches ...

Should be more, if they could give more. Y’know?

Oh, I know.

Looks accidental, reflexively bracing because he’s not in control of the fall, looks like forearm instead of point of elbow anyway. How many weeks do you think?

Wilson definitely in the squad.

Liam Wright has been a revelation this season.

Just finished watching the game. It's one of the joke Kiwi teams, but an away win is very nice. Thoughts: 1. Best game I've even seen Wilson play. He's very fit and is pulling off big plays in rapid succession. 2. McReight is the key to the Reds making a run in the finals. 3. Good from Thomas and C...

What are you talking about? He was arguably the best fullback in the world. His kicking was fine. His kicking was merely adequate. It was his biggest downfall. His biggest downfall is that he's a raging homophobic twat who hides behind his idiotic imported religious fundamentalism. But yeah, on the...

I'm WFH twice a week and I love it. I usually do tasks that require minimal interruptions so I can blast music etc while I work. Always good to be able to drop my kids off at school and pick them up from rugby training. A quick google check tells me that 34% of Australians work from home at least on...

Everything else in between.
Room temperature or cellar temperature?

Yes, good point. Cellar temperature.

The one thing that is taught well in league is tackling. I've seen some weapon juniors come across to union and their positional play and option taking isn't great but they fold cunce.

Which one do you want to keep an eye on - or shall we merge them?

Merge them.

Although this is a slightly different topic, the conversation has morphed into the other thread.

You can still push in scrums. It doesn't happen often but teams do it.

Well now, this is an interesting thread.

TBF one of those tries (the winning one) was scored when our million dollar winger decided to not tackle someone.

Agree w/- both points. Happy to see HMP back on board, tho’. On t’other hand, I’ll be at this game and I’m not much of an infallible good luck charm for the Red. Been to far to many losses and outright floggings. I’ve only been to one Reds game in NZ, and the Reds won it. I fear the universe may be...

After this I watched Baby Reindeer on Netflix. That's some mad shit. Holy shit we did the same. Man, what a show. Terrifying and somewhat farked up. You're a bit of a comedian (Allegedly)- Can't quite get over the fact this guy thought he was funny enough to get on stage? Yeah, I'm not a fan of ant...

So you think the weight figures are under-reported? Probably. When do they weigh them? Before every season? So if they are all under-reported, surely it's still valid comparing? Why would certain players be under reported by materially different amounts? They aren't under reported. They are just sp...

OK, but if they are exaggerated, surely on average they are exaggerated evenly? Therefore it's fine to compare and contrast the different figures? No, I don't think they are. They seem to be figures that are written down once and then not updated. As someone pointed out on another thread, Ardie Sav...

No. What an odd question to ask.

Ummm...Meads ended Ken Catchpoles' career......those black tinted glasses..... I was at that game. If a player did anything like that today, he would be banned for life. Catchpole should have sued Meads, but Catchy was too nice a guy to do that. :evil: I have a mate who was also at that game and wa...

I don't believe any of the weight/height stats bandied around.

Just because it's Intense doesn't make it a great game enjoyable to everyone. Those who are used to seeing the variety of play and competition for the ball in rugby, would probably find the short pass, tackle x 5 and a kick routine boring and dumb. The shoulder charges and thugby acts in League don...

Perfectly legal tackle and Edmed got the fudge up and played the rest of the game. His hit on Lynagh was a dog act though but was just a penalty in the game. For some reason (Kiwi ref). https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/comments/1baf3n2/late_shot_on_lynagh/ I was okay with that decision as well. :x

Oh gosh no. I just watch shows with my family and not on my own like an obese shut in.

Do we get a public holiday if the bloke carks it?

True.

It was always good to have a few easy-beat teams in the comp.

As a Canes fan I was genuinely happy for the Landers and their fans it was a great game, but the Canes imo had the better team record wise and on paper. I compare it to World Cups where the ABs for the most part are usually the best team all year but get pipped at the end come knockout stages. One ...

We're up to episode 5. Downloaded Fallout 4 yesterday and my son and I are playing it.

He keeps yelling out "Do I need to keep bobby pins?"

"YOU KEEP EVERYTHING!"

But, they won. That means they were the top team. The Canes didn't win. That means they weren't the top team. Hope that helps. Posts like that make the Landers title run all the more sweeter. As a Canes fan I was genuinely happy for the Landers and their fans it was a great game, but the Canes imo ...

They weren't the top team that year, though, they got lucky They won the Super Rugby final. What criteria are you using? They were middle of the road team that year and managed to fluke a title run. Canes was the top team the entire season and choked. If they play best out of 3 series they would ha...

If a coach tried a prayer circle at my junior club, they would promptly be told to get f**ked. Probably by every grade from u11s up. When my eldest was in U12 they got this new coach in and he made them do a prayer circle before and after every training session and game. Weird. That is weird. Lots ...
