The most important match of the Force's season to date!

Tahs win Force finish 3
Tahs lose Rebels finish 3

Time for the East Coast elite to stand up and help the Fore out after what happened in 2017 :p

You say it like the players have any control over the outcome. :(

Which ones?

I do think the Tahs are more of a chance for a win that the Force getting up over the Reds and therefore all the Force's finals hopes ride on this game hence the tounge firmly in cheek OP

I can't see the Reds going easy, they have the chance to finish the season unbeaten,

Equally, the Tahs won't be doing the Rebs any favours either

A draw, and the Rebels go through on superior PD (as it stands right now).

So, thinking about the Rebels side.
Isi has to start, perhaps in the second row.
Trevor could be in trouble with the judicary, but hopeful he will play.
I would like to see a Mangay / Holland midfield.
Dane told me he will be back for this week. A welcome return.
Perhaps bring Pone off the Bench and start Eloff at TH?

By cheering for the Tahs????

Sorry mate - you ask too much.

I’d definitely start Eloff as Scott S dominated Pone.
As a Tahs supporter I’d like to see a mistake free 40min. I don’t think 1 half of mistake free rugby is asking too much
As we have lost the last 2 games from silly mistakes.

What's the equation? Reds will beat the Force, so if Tahs win the Force go through?

Pretty much, The Force are 2 points ahead of us (Rebels of course) so a losing bonus point isn't good enough.

We could also go through if the score are equal after extra time and the force lose without picking up a bonus point.

Force win, we're out

I'm a Force fan and want finals footy but I want to earn it.

I'd take it but winning 3/8 and making the finals doesn't feel right.

Its bad enough that over half the comp make finals, let alone not winning 50% of your games. At least last year the Rebels had a win over the Brumbies to at least feel like they slightly deserved it

You finish 3rd you deserve to be there, in order to get that last place in the finals you will have to beat the top placed currently undefeated team if you do that then your team belongs there 100%.

Yep I said it before, it very much like schoolkid sport like let's make everyone a winner if we can. Over half making finals is slightly on crazy side.

Does Queensland count as East Coast Elite or East Cost Bogan?
I'm thinking pole.
I don’t think 1 half of mistake free rugby is asking too much

Looks like DHP will not be in the side this weekend. Dave wants to give him another week of training.
