It was successful for long enough to get him a Wallaby gig, interestingly, he's now looking to use a more rounded game. Even with masses of ball in hand and keeping it away from our strike weapons (did you hear that? I genuinely used the term strike weapons) they couldn't match it with us.

    They avoided the breakdown, ran around in circles, played flashy, ball-in-hand rugby, which is what you want to do against a team tthat has you beat in the forwards, but they weren't good enough. With our forwards winning breakdown ball virtually at will, they were always going to struggle, even with their pet ref ignoring Cheese getting mugged in the second minute and binning Gus for making such a strong tackle that he didn't have time to wrap his arms around. I'm really liking the fact that I can bitch about the ref and we still come away with the win.

    Does Tommy have enough money left to float a book on whether Garra Williamson gets the sack next week!

    WTF??? So why did Quade kick it for a draw instead of having a crack for the win????

    Don't worry about it too much Boog, it's nice for the losing underdogs be able to draw some positives from the game!

    ps they're welcome to ineffectually throw it around during the return match in Perth if they like!

    Written by Andrew Slack, so you'd expect no less, I don't mean that in a particularly derogatory way, as in 'He's another Greg Growden', just that he's a Favourite Son of Qld


    Maybe Fox should have been some address filtering on that article to keep it from our delicate eyes!

    Unfortunately 4th - We might have scored more points than the Chiefs, but they stay 3rd as best Kiwi team

    I'm not gonna moan about that Sheikh. 4th's good enough.

    I believe we have gone vertical!

    I have to admit I have been thinking about Cooper's kick. Was it the right decision? Could they have scored the try? IMO I reckon they had a better chance of scoring the try vs Cooper making the kick - and the Reds should have known that. The Force chasers have been quite effective over the season for the most part and didn't give him much space/time to work with. They should have gone for the possession game and tried to milk a penalty if a draw was the best they felt they could have done.

    How the hell was it not a yellow card when Hayward was taken out in the air?

    Likewise, thought he had a very good game

    He came on for Junior, not sure what happened as I was out of the room searching for my blood pressure medication - such is the life of a Force supporter!

    Unfortunately word is junior's season is done. He's either having surgery tonight or tomorrow to repair his broken arm.
    Unsure if he's broken his radius & ulna but he's done for the year.
    If he has a break I think it will be a spiralated fracture which is the worst break you can imagine

    Doesn't that suck. Aussie teams belting crap out of each other and some team from another conference playing schoolboy stuff keeps third spot by default.
