^^^^^^^^^ I made a quick list of suspects but none of them appear to have been "deleted" within the time span of the two "likes" so I'm a bit puzzled.............

Wow. The reds are so poor. Jeez I wish the force had the rub of the ref like they did last night but they still couldn't win. Or even get close.

Yeah I had two likes on that post. TOCC and Dan54. Dan's clearly not been deleted so I'd say it's just a glitch if some sort.

Gee it's hard not to fall in love with the 'Canes.

Poor Gardner, I dont mind him as a ref, but he's not going to enjoy reviewing his performance on that one. No doubt a number of decissions that even Reds fans were not expecting.

I cant state that game was disappointing. At all. I was entertained throughout and actually had hope for much of the game. No doubt that the Reds need to start performing in terms of wins, especially at home, but I'm not holding that game against them.

I'm liking Tuttle, DP and Hunt a lot. And Higgers. Dont understand some of the comments about Smith and Moore. Those guys are performing and holding things together.

I remain unconvinced with the coaches, but if they keep playing like that I will have to give them the thumbs up.

It's not TOCC either, I found on old post of mine with "TOCC likes this" still attached. Sorry to keep banging on about it, but it's one of those weird things that despite being utterly meaningless I just HAVE to know...........

the spambot who managed to brilliantly candiru their way all the way to the "Like" button and push it before a mod axed their little dot dash gilled cock off is probably getting heralded to fuck right now back at SpamBot HQ.

Nor is it the probable troll who managed to "like" a few posts before getting the bullet on Thursday, roughly two hours after becoming a member. Getting frustrating now, what time's the Tears of Phil Kearns early warning device* set for?

*aka kickoff :)

And now I'm going to say something controversial. Ready?

Jake played OK. Some f-ups andsome reasonable stuff.

Not perhaps for a first choice 10, even perhaps as a future possible first choice 10, but for a back up 10 in an Aus Super team. No, he's not my choice, no it's not that I think he's the best available. He is what we've got. He was OK.

Jake's problem is that he plays so robotically, he telegraphs his passes well ahead.. Watch the kiwi 5/8s and halfbacks and they attack the defensive line and engage the defender before passing, Jake catches the ball and then turns his head towards the player he is going to pass to whilst crabbing sideways towards that player.

It does nothing to stop the lateral drift of the defensive line and places pressure on those outside him, by the time he passes defenders have read the pass and are already closing the space.

He played better, but he lacks confidence and he would struggle to stand out in the QPR, his passing game is limited and his kicking game is poor. The only benefit to starting Jake is that it allows Karmichael and Duncan to play in their respective positions.

pretty bang on there TOCC. You're point about not standing out in a QPR game was the exact one I had today while watching the 20s GF. McIntyre is solid but he's never going to be the flyhalf you need to win the comp, or win consistently for the exact points you make.

Now, early days, but this young Hamish Stewart looks like a flyhalf. One to watch for sure.

Could do with a pole to definitively get to the bottom of this one.

Obviously, some of us support sides that get royally arsefucked up the shitter by the conference system. We may not particularly want to support the useless pricks week in and week out but it's where we're from and what we've always done so, stupidly, we still fuckign do it. Blues and landers already virtually no hope playoff-wise despite having “respectable” records while some tard ranch aussie franchise blunderfucks their way to a cripplefought losing record and hello, here you are Sir’s & Madam’s, a motherfucking home playoff berth.
