I'd actually like that very much. I do want to see another win this year, but largely don't care. I want to see an increase in our "good game" list. Jaguares, Lions, Hurricanes. Add the Highlanders please. If we keep playing like that, there WILL be more wins.
Bring it on. But for fuck's sake please Reds actually play rugby.
"I’ve said all year we’re a work in progress. We have had our ups and downs, but we’re clearly building something here."
I'm over this shit though. "Work in progress" has worn beyond thin over (probably more than) 5 years.

Daugunu dropped. Hockings to start. Timu returns on the bench. Lucas still the starting halfback.

This I do not agree with AT ALL! This year they have got the Crusaders as a notch on their gun handle. Only one other team can say that.

Thorn really lets you know if your performance isn’t up to scratch. Poor old Daugunu, don’t think anyone has defended Lam well this season.
That wasn't a one off though.
His wing has been routinely attacked in the last few games because he is letting in tries.

I actually think his tackling has improved as the season has progressed. For a period against the Chiefs he looked like the only one putting his body on the line and against the Sunwolves he pulled off a couple of big shots on that guy they call Japanese Godzilla. He appears to be quite good at getting underneath guys much bigger than him and driving them backwards, someone just needs to teach him how to drift better and how to defend against players who have a size advantage over him.

Sopoaga had the worst game I've seen from him v the Tahs, and Rob Thompson wasn't much better. These are two class players and the result will be determined to large extent by how they play this weekend. But on the strength of the complete teams, the Reds are in with a huge chance.
This is really interesting. Looking back at the games played this season by the Reds and respective wing tackle involvements.

Classic 2018 Brumbies to attack the winger who can tackle and showed it the week before.

The Daug might just be having some R & R. It's a long season, and we have a good stock of wingers.

How impressive is Petaia in his first three Super matches? 100% tackle effectiveness and scoring tries to boot.
well, one try, but he has been very very good and has surprised the hell out of me.
