Round 14 : Reds v Force 24 May (Suncorp)

[dillyboy]

So last home game of the season after a rough trip to Fiji.

The force have become a bogey team for us so I'm not at all confident for this one.

Is it wrong to hope Vuni gets a suspension so he's unavailable for selection?

Surely he can't be in the 23 after costing us time & time again this season.....

 

[LeCheese]

Going along with a group of about 15 others - my first game in-person for the season. Pumped to say the least.

Bring back the reinforcements I hope:

15 Jock Campbell
14 Tim Ryan
13 Josh Flook
12 Hunter Paisami
11 Mac Grealy
10 Tom Lynagh
9 Tate McDermott
8 Seru Uru???
7 Fraser McReight
6 Liam Wright
5 Angus Blyth
4 Ryan Smith
3 Jeffrey Toomaga-Allen (although I think Nonggorr is playing career best footy)
2 Matt Faessler
1 Peni Ravai

16 Josh Nasser
17 Sef Fa'agase
18 Zane Nonggorr
19 Cormac Daly / Conor Vest
20 John Bryant
21 Kalani Thomas
22 James O'Connor
23 Taj Annan / Floyd Aubrey / Lawson Creighton

That's a solid side.

It's indigenous round so Floyd will likely get the call up out of those options

 

[Wilson]

Vunivalu officially ruled out with a 1 week suspension

Is it bad that I see this as good news???

Reds should win at home although Force are hitting their straps at the right time. Should be a good game.

Will be interesting to see what kind of crowd we get to this. Wasn’t great for the Rebels, going over to Fiji and losing and I reckon the casuals will have magic round hangover.

Anything over 10k would be surprising.

The Broncos are playing away on Sunday, so we might get a few casuals turning up.

Last game I had several people bust open their phones at half time to tune into the Broncos game

I think this is about right given the Force are usually a low turnout opposition, but the fact it's a Saturday game should help get a few more through the gates compared to the Rebels game.

I’ll be missing this game unfortunately so there’s one number down, but on the plus side that also equals a decrease in total ref directed profanity by about 50%.

You have made no changes to the pack, our tight 5 were the problem and needs changing.

Probably the Reds strongest available side.

 

[Dctarget]

Keen to see Leahy v Ryan. No injuries and lots of tries please.

As long as I can shake the bout of rona I've been stricken down with I'll be there to hurl profanities enough for the two of us!

 

[TSR]

Probably the Reds strongest available side.

That would have to be the strongest team the Force have named all year too wouldn’t it?

 

[Strewthcobber]

Is Ravi out or rested?
