Reds v Waratahs Rd 18 2012

[TOCC]

Going to be a epic game for Reds fans, 33'000 out to watch the Highlanders last night..
Looking at 40'000 strong crowd for next week with the Reds final hopes on the line.

Injury Ward:
Rob Simmons
Chri F'Sautia
Beau Robinson
Liam Gill
Digby Ioane

 

[Schadenfreude]

I didn't realise Beau was injured, Higgers' elbow didn't look great either. Don't we count Horwill anymore?

 

[kiap]

Could have held back until afer the Brumbies clash, brah.

Kepu ruled out for the Tahs match tomorrow with a calf injury. Dunno about his longer prognosis, though.

 

[flat_eric]

The Reds are missing Gill at the break down. Are he and Digby due back next week? Beau has been fairly disappointing this season in comparison to last but remains a significant weapon off the bench.

those are the players who's injuries may be a chance of playing next week or were injured tonight and still awaiting official word.

If Simmons or CFS play next week I shall thereafter refer to them as Wolverine.

C'mon the bulls!

Simmons reportedly only has a cork

Believe Simmo Digby and Gill back next week

Dunno re Beau or worse, Higgers - supposed to be in hospital until Monday with infected elbow/arm- Sautia done for 2012

Reds should win this by 50 after that performance by the Tahs against Brumbies.

Sadly probably still miss the finals though.

 

[Ash]

Wouldn't be surprised if the Reds just need to win the and Tahs play a belter compared to tonight.

By 50? OK then. The Reds hardly looked stellar last night, and the Tah defence, as opposed to their inept (mostly) attack was pretty good. Reds ought to win, but I will be quite surprised if it is by 50.

 

[TOCC]

I fear next week will be far from a high scoring game, the Tahs strength(albeit few atm) are conducive with the Reds weaknesses..

Reds should win, but i don't believe its going to be pretty nor will it be a massive score line.

Reds v Tahs are never ever pretty to watch. Not in the last ten years anyway.

 

[disco]

Should be a good game to watch now as the Reds need a bonus point win. I personally think we are going to just fall short of the finals but hopefully won of the Saffa teams choke next week & the Reds get the bonus point win.

Last year's game at suncorp was a cracker!

 

[Slim 293]

The Reds will be wanting a free flowing game if they're looking at getting the bonus point wi....... uh oh.......

I admit I was away & didn't see that game..... but I hear it was a great game for scrum aficionados

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

 

[spectator]

Believe Simmo Digby and Gill back next week

If he''s been suffering from pneumonia won''t Digby be a little short on fitness?

 

[tigerland12]

We can win by one point, because Force, Lions and Cheetahs are going to play their best games of the season and help us.
