I know gold and platinum members get access to both but yeah I probably overestimated the number of gold and platinum members.

I think compared to the actual odds of the Reds winning $4 is pretty good. I'm not saying I think the Reds will win but 4 bucks is 4 bucks.

He came on and played 6 when Higgers left the field, the finished at lock.
Personally I expect Douglas to start again.

This will be a total stink fest. Reds should monster the Tah's up front and rightfully put the Tahs to the Sword. Problem is the Reds are so shit in attack they will waste every opportunity they make. Tahs are good in attack but I think they won't be playing off much front foot ball and I would expect the Reds to be tight in defence. It will be a fucking mess.
Thorn may be able to rekindle that beat the shit out of NSW sentiment which could be fun.
Simmons I also tip will be a total pest at lineout time. I tip that he will steal a lot of ball off the Reds throw.

Not much looking forward to the rest (though i could be surprised) - but the line out competition should be worth the cost of admission on it's own. Probably similar with the locks around the rucks. Should be beaut.

Except the Waratahs don't really have anyone outside of Simmons or maybe Hanigan who can really contest the lineouts. The Reds have Douglas, and Rodda, Korczyk, ASY (Angus Scott-Young)/Wright... and then because they really need another jumper Timu is also a reasonable jumper -- I don't know that you'd ever purposely throw the ball to Timu with this pack. Oh and that's missing Higginbotham.
I agree with Ruggo -- this game is going to die a slow long agonizing death. Rugby just the way I like it!

Wells and Holloway both jump.
The Reds and Tahs have the 4th and 5th most successful lineouts in the comp with 90.7% and 90.5% win rate respectively so it should be a good contest at lineout time.

The form lines all point to a Tahs' win.
Tahs thrashed the Rebels; Rebels beat the Reds.
Tahs beat the Brumbies; Brumbies easy over the Reds. Tahs at least had set piece equality with the Brumbies, but the Brumbies finished on top of the Reds scrum.
One area I think the Reds will be on par is in the lineout. Rodda has been exceptional and imo will match Simmons most of the night.
On top of all that, we know the Tahs will score plenty of tries, but there is a lot of doubt over the Reds' capability in the try scoring arena.
Tahs to get up by around 20 points.

I think you're trying to put the mockers on us, as every Brumby fan has tried from Super inception.
Geez, I hope you're right but the confidence level of Tahs fans I suspect is considerably lower. The Tahs don't do intense forward trench work at all well and this is what I expect from the Reds in spades! If the Waratahs show they can get on top of the Reds in the tight I will start to believe we have a slight chance against the Kiwis.
Phipps is back for the Waratahs, not sure who that's an advantage for.
Well he scored 3 tries for Sydney Uni last weekend so based on what you said about Quade Cooper's club form in the Wallabies thread he should be straight back into the Wallabies.

Only change for the Tahs is Phipps joining the bench in place of Mitch Short.

I thought Hegarty might have got pulled just after half time last week because he wasn't doing a very good job of covering the Sunwolves grubbers in behind. Looks like Gibson was just sharing around game time between players.
