Jeez, Reds might be playing slight better post Graham but they're still playing like shit and are frustrating to watch.. Ball handling skills are as bad as I've ever seen, passing and catching is at an amateur level

You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.
I'm talking about both teams, BTW.
Crucial Lineout steal by Reds on defending 22 metre line, but knocked on in the back line. Tahs attacking scrum 15 metres out. 1 minute to go.
Tahs scrappy but manage to regain possession for about 6 phases to rumble it up and wind the clock down.
Hooter goes, and Foley (back from blood bin) hoofs it into touch to end the game, and put us all out of our misery.
Reds 13 (1 Pen Try, 1 Con, 2 Pen) defeated by Waratahs 15 (2 Try [Folou], 1 con, 1 Pen).
Reds looking forward to the challenge of The Bye, meanwhile Tahs have Rebels at home in 7 days.

I can't believe it's only take Gibson 4 rounds to undo all of Cheikas hard work

Was it? Because I'm seeing live feeds that basically amount to fuck up, fuck up, fuck up, fuck up, fuck up. You get the idea.

I thought the Force vs Reds was the worst game of the season so far, but this just took the cake. Absolutely dreadful rugby to watch. Tough and hard, but rubbish.

I don't mind a victory you have to grind out. It teaches players a lot about themselves - probably on both sides.
Reds are young, but they can't keep using that as an excuse, due to rapid gains in experience for being thrown in the deep end.
Tahs are. . . ? well fucking fucketty fuck what the fucking fuck? All those Wallabies and still nothing to really show for it. A misfiring set piece and a coach who seems adamant nothing is wrong with selecting a THP at LHP and a fucking tackling bag at THP. With nothing in the drawer due to shit recruitment.

Well played, Hawko. Predicted to a tee inclusive of the numerous scrum penalties and one penalty try
I thought for a derby game in very slippery conditions, it was pretty decent!
Both teams got stuck right in. Game bogged down in the final 15, but you'd expect that in those conditions.
Reds are light on skill but geez you can't fault their commitment.

Lack of discipline and a poor scrum almost cost us that.
Even allowing for a couple of tough calls, way too many penalties conceded.
Both have been a problem since round 1 and nothing detectable has improved in either.

Straight after the game, a heap of random thoughts.
Okay, there is no doubt in my mind now the two Robbos should start in the Tahs front row. Roach, well, the guy has to learn to throw into a line-out. I guess it was wet, so we'll give him the benefit of the doubt this week, but it looks like he's going to get plenty of practice.
I thought Foley was the big difference between those teams, really controlled the game, a class act who continues to improve (or Japanese Nard, as Hooper called him).
Reds have a good set piece, and some individual goers, but as a team they look dreadful. The Tahs look like they did in 2013, lots of attacking potential, breaks made, but giving it away with shit passes, poor ball control and dumb penalties.
Reds need to find a quality 10 and quick, someone has to organise that rabble and it aint Jake McIntyre. Ant Fa'ainga tacles like a machine, but he's a one trick pony, and the utside backs are just big boppers who have no idea what to do without an organiser.
Finally, great to see Gill and Foley back, two class acts in a pretty ordinary game of rugby.
