I can't believe I forgot to post this. Two weeks back I was at a lunch where Robbie Deans spoke, and Hynes was there. There was an awkward exchange after Dingo acknowledged Hynes and said something like "and I believe he has some very good news ... [pause] ... uh, Peter do you mind if I say...

Harris copped a head knock early and was talking rubbish at half time. No way he could have run a backline.

Shorks fans last night.

I'm not sure he had the conviction you think he had, and re cards and "whether the penalties were justified or not he gave them out and the Reds conceded way too many in their own 22" - I totally agree, which is why I said earlier that either 1) he was unwilling to go to the cards, or 2) he knew...

I agree Slim. Don't get me wrong, that's not my suggestion. I don't think he was biased either way. He was shithouse all round. re: the cards, I think Karl's position is bang on: I'm normally one of the first to call for cards for repeated infringements, and I'm surprised Kaplan didn't go...

Sorry Slim, I simply cannot agree. First example to mind is Quade trying to intercept a ball above his head, fumbling it, and trying to regather and fumbling again, being penalised for being a deliberate and cynical knock down? You have to be fucking kidding me. Kaplan was a joke all night...

sounds promising - fingers are crossed.

Vandal has been training. Not sure what load though. I should follow that up.

bring back Tucky Dunning?

I had a brief chat with Quade last night. He was pretty cagey about his thoughts re: signature but also dropped something along the lines of 'I need to get more games under my belt' - so he's possibly realised that he may need another season with the Reds in good form to again warrant top dollars.

Morahan was given an off-field yellow at full-time. My understanding is that that is the end of the process - it does not get passed up for further consideration from there. Reds staff echoed this. Cracking match of rugby. Great play both teams - Reds tight and structured (and smart) while the...

You are dead right. Quade is a great bloke, just not the most intelligent and is easily led. He has a great support network at the Reds and to lose that would spell great trouble for him.

Hypothesise that Taps were to offload to Digby just as Pocock went for the tackle and the answer, I content, becomes quite clear. As Scotty said, of course it is tackling a player without the ball.

"Well that was shit." Matt Taylor (Reds defence coach) post-match. Touché tattsy, touché.

I'm looking forward to seeing Genia's "aimless" box kicks being countered so easily and effectively, just as they were by the Crusad... oh shit wait, sorry. Good luck Tahs, you'll need it.

1. Reds 2. Blues 3. Saders 4. Shorks 5. Stormers 6. Tahs I think the Reds might be able to open a bit of a gap (not much, but enough) on the rest of the Aus conference and can thus get the benefit of a few extra points, whereas the Blues and Crusaders will give each other closer beltings for...

Am I the only one who felt JOC (James O'Connor) was, goal kicking aside, decidedly ordinary? Ran poor lines, average handling (not the only one admittedly) and ordinary defence...
