Rnd 18: Brumbies v Reds

[RugbyReg]

Brumbies should do this in a canter. They are playing very good footy at the moment and just the type of footy that the Reds struggle with.

For the Reds it's all about sentiment and how they want to send their departing players out, specifically Higgers and Samu.

I don't expect many changes to last week but who knows what Brad has up his sleeve.

Do the Brumbies see any value in resting players? I don't think so. Momentum into the finals should not be underrated.

Maybe a start for McCaffrey and bench for Valetini bring him back slowly. But Cusack and Samu to start. Maybe Sio to start over Slipper, but they both play good minutes. Speight to come back in if fit, to put the pain on the Reds one last time.

Qld to win by 10+.

I don't think it will be the last time....

Reds win they finish above Tahs (assuming they lose when resting all their Wobs).

Given the team sheets its a sin the Reds finish above the Tahs. If people are calling for BT's head on this forum, they should be crucifying Gibson on the Tahs one

That’s sounds a bit cryptic, Reg. Or am I reading too much into it?

By and large, they are.

He's saying Speight will disappoint the Reds next year when he's playing for them.

Oh. Ouch!

Plenty of that in the Tahs forums. I think most people would happily take Thorn over Gibson.

Bit rude Reggy!!

I think his experience will be greatly appreciated.

Full strength Reds team. All their wallabies have been rested. Hopefully the Brumbies see the value in resting players before finals.

Any chance we could arrange 35 degrees for kickoff?

Pretty sure the Concrete Eski will put on a oven for you and roast you up a barmy 12 degrees, remember though its going to be DEWie.

 

[Scoey]

Reds to win with a BP.

Looking for us to make a statement before playoff football. Start a few prospects (Lonergan, Ikitau, Swain, Ross), nil the opposition, that kind of thing.

Maybe 3.5 if you're lucky

Good to see you giving a few QLDers a run against their home state. I am sure they will rise to occasion to impress their true masters.
