It did feel like they were playing heavily off the 9 for most of the game. Lots of Gordon box kicks. Keep it tight up the middle with pick and gos.

He’s there for more than that champ.

Some pretty harsh commentary through this thread! Was pleasantly surprised by Gordon tonight, thought his box kicks were good. Passing pretty accurate. Speed to breakdown good. Noah had an ok night. Little rusty from the tee and made a couple of poor decisions. He’ll be better for the run and...

Any other rebs players hinted to make their way down? Would love to see Leota make his way down as coverage for Brown leaving. Feel like cover in the centres is key too.

Don’t love this. Good bloke but not best in his position. Squad or bench at best.

Chiefs just lying all over it, making a mess. Okeefe staring straight at it and doesn’t give a shit. Neutral refs or nothing.

Scrum a bit of a concern still. Don't think it'll be an issue for this weekend, but challenge going deep for the title.

Man this ref loves his whistle. Makes for a snore of a game.

Was fucking freezing. Steam coming from the stands.

Hoping that with more game time and a few more tests under his belt the decision making continues to improve. He’s been markedly better this year just need to translate that into gold.

I think that’s maybe the best game I’ve seen Brown play. He’s always been there or there about but he was immense in attack and defence last night. If he keeps that form up into the finals could he potentially be a Smokey bolter for the wallabies? Not saying he’d take McReights spot but he’s...

Yeah reconciliation day

Long weekend and 2 degrees doesn’t lend itself to big crowds.

Wonder how bad that ankle injury was tonight? He didn’t look happy at the end of the game.

Has it been raining? Crowd seems tiny.

Liam Wright's playing better this year, but I don't think that means he's a walk-up starter at 6 or 7, at best I think he's bench back-row cover given his ability to jump and cover two positions. Likewise Wilson's having a better year, but still plays light at super rugby and that struggles to...

Can’t say many other franchises have a reputation for improving players the way the brumbies do. Are you suggesting he gets a change of scenery to accelerate his decline even further Reg? Insanity.

Canberra times reported that he'd been working a lot with a psychologist to get it out of his game this year. No doubt easier said than done but that and the additional leadership responsibilities seem to have worked for other players (Dylan Hartley for England, Toby Greene in AFL for GWS).

Was interesting to see Ikatau tear up when talking about the impact of Darci. Sounds like he was pretty instrumental in getting a fair few players from QLD to Canberra in the first place. There's something to be said for the value of the program and how it develops the players, but it's...

Not sure why, just have a bad feeling about this one. Drua gave the brums a scare last year but faded in the 2nd half. They'll need to be on their game to achieve the same result again.
