I don't think you could name an entire 15 who's consistently performed while donning a yellow jersey in the last 5 years.

Different planes - Sharks still have to play the Force in Perth next week before they head home.

Its going to be an interesting 2 weeks ahead in super 15. Brums and reds to be playing for the top spot and probably home finals advantage. Will have to hold off on booking the flight to Canberra for early August.

Let's not kid ourselves - while the Reds chanced their arm well in the first half, and executed bloody well, the Shorks defensive line looked like they'd met in the sheds. Some very poor option taking from the visitors when they had the ball (which was rarely) and paper thin defence that often didn't stretch the width of the park - easy metres out wide.
Reds won the game but lost their way when the visitors started to pick their game up. Agree with others that Gill provides a focal point out there and was badly missed when he came off. The Reds bench was not as effective as the Sharks'.
Anyone else sick of Marto being buried inside QC (Quade Cooper)'s clacker? Every time the ball got near him the commentary box fogged up

This. Bingo. Wallaby experience and apparently the second coming according to a heap of QLDers, but he got bossed and went missing, not for the first time.

Golden 1st half from the Reds. One of those times when everything you do comes off. I don't buy the Sharks were off part - the Reds just played really well and put them off. A second half like we saw often follows a great first half, the Reds aren't the only team who relax a bit after building up a big lead and credit to the Sharks who came out after half time and had a go.
Can we please ban Greg Martin from calling any Reds games? I thought QC (Quade Cooper) went well last night, but do we really need Marto announcing every action of Quade's as if he's just split the atom? I can't recall a commentator so gushing about a player, so consistently. Next week I'm expecting to hear, "did you see how quickly Cooper put his mouthguard in, I hope the Wallaby selectors saw that" or "I hope Robbie Deans noticed how deftly Cooper put the kicking tee on the exact blade of grass that he wanted"

Too much credit for the sharks in the second. I don't think they played much different, it is just the reds let them in the game by starting to go too lateral and trying to push passes.

Point out one QLDer that has said that or eat your words.
The Force must feel that they have the wood on the Shorks after recent performances by both teams.

I thought the Red first half was one of their better this year. The Genia/ Cooper combination very much to the fore.
Unfortunately I didn't see the second half. I went to a more than satisfactory local Nepalese restaurant to the pub where I was watching the game. I think I am starting to favour Nepalese over Indian. I wouldn't say the difference is quite like Vietnamese is to Thai, but Nepalese food is lighter and more refrained or delicate than Indian. The meals didn't seem to have the same ubiquitous base curry sauce you find in many Indian joints. Where everything seems to emanate from a sauce of indeterminate age and a brutal brownness. Though I was slightly put off by one of the traditional dishes they had - a Himilayan Scallop dish. It almost reminded me of the typical Chinese restaurant in very much central Australia which had a menu of literally hundreds of dishes, but made up of various meats adorned with sweet and sour, oyster, black bean, plum, or the special sauce and the like And in a special part of the menu was the chef's signature dish; steak and eggs. But in pride of place in the restaurants' repast, hundreds of miles from the coast was the 'Fresh Seafood' dish of the day.

Reds first half = terrific football
Reds second half = poor football
Reds intensity just disappeared after half time - they could have put 50 on the Sharks
CFS made a huge difference - Taps will now be wondering to get back in side
Marto is rubbish

Not surprised that the Reds went off the boil in the second half. They clearly got a bit comfortable after shooting to a 26 point lead. They were less than impressive in the 2nd half but the game was never in any doubt.
We need Horwill back for the next two games, as he seems to be the guy holding the team together atm

Saying that a player has showed improvement & is playing well (which Simmons is) is a world apart from saying he's the 2nd coming.
Shit sandwich is waiting on your plate!
