Reds v Force Rd 8 2014

[redveincheese]

Reds Forwards let them down again. Need to take a page from the ponies and tahs forwards on how to deal with the force forwards. Cooper had a great game. Shit myself everytime he touched the ball. A shame their backs have a few injuries atm.

I respectfully disagree. Our front 5 did well. The game was a tough one at the front and neither side took a step back.
The reds need to look at what is happening real time and shut down attacking teams when they can.

They have forgotten about an important aspect of the game in the pursuit of their try scoring flare, and that thing is smart , hard defence. Harris, the only one in the back line to sort out where he needed to be.

Force are going vertical!

James Horwill was excellent tonight for the Reds. Really stood up. Obviously, pissed off at the end, but that's rugger. Force deserved the win.

 

[Ruggo]

Bullshit..we owned it. 2 trys with a man in the bin. Dont try and make out we got lucky! Out played and we have morw heart.

Pull your head in mate. The bloke showed you some good sportsmanship and you reply with this tin foil hat crap.

Poor form.

Tahs will be a different proposition next week. Not confident about winning that one but there with bells on either way.

Tahs coming back from SA, with (maybe) 2 losses in a row? Geez, the Force would have to be confident surely?

Likewise. Tell ya what though, it's a great time to be a Force fan (and member). I finally feel like we're going places after a few years in the wilderness. What a feeling to pull that one off tonight.

Hopefully people will now take the for seriously no more the other team played bad.

You blokes play a technically good game. One look at the table says you blokes are towards the pointy end and in the hunt for more. Force also look like a tight unit and everybody is putting in for the team. Those who always want wide expansive rugby should stick to sevens. If you appreciate the finer technical points of the game, the Force are a joy to watch.

Time for you blokes to get stuck into the Tahs next week.

Dunno about that. Force forwards got over the advantage line pretty easily and didnt get troubled by them at the breakdown either. As opposed to the Brumbies and Tah forwards who won the collision and breakdown contests through out the 80 minutes when they played the force. The reds are going to continue to have issues with the ref as well this season.

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback.

Discipline is what we need to work on. Those early points hurt us tonight. We cant afford to give starts away like that.

 

[Hoolly Doolly]

The force attack wasnt anything special though. More often then not the receivers of the ball were pretty flat footed. They were pretty patient though stringing a lot of long phases inside the reds zone.

 

[ChargerWA]

Like Hodgo said, the difference is belief. 2 years ago we managed to lose about 10 games in the season after leading at half time. It's a strange feeling watching them truck it up for 16 phases and feeling confident that they can make something of it.

Congratulations to Marcel Brache too. Came on with nearly a full game ahead of him and didn't look out of place.

Stop talking us down. Ride the Force Tsunami!

I just dont like being too cocky. We havent earned the right to be yet. Long season ahead....

Good night everyone, have a great night. Well done force.
Reds can win 9 in row and still make the finals easy.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Well done Force. Just snuck home against some rabble that the Tahs nearly put 40 points on.

Thee bubble bursts next week when you finally play against a worthy opponent.
