Hopefully pek back next week and is the HB possible. Fingers crossed for Alcock. Have to say I'm still depressed by that match! They felt flat from the first couple of minutes!!

Gunny I think you can have enough alcohol remember chrisse amphlett
she looked good until she smiled,Sloppy!
That made hard watching.. 5 line out steals and something like 17 turn overs. We gifted it to them.. :(
The players must take some of the blame but management must take the brunt
Liam Messina after match talk stated that the tactics and thought that had gone into there match preparation was what got them over the line in a match that could have gone either way
The force go to the Gold Coast a balmy climate that put most insomniacs to sleep within a day
Listening to much of the Reds problems and not working on a game plan to demoralise the Reds and break them mentally in the first 20 min a team with players out of position players delisted due to drug allegations players pulled 10 min before kick off
A coach who couldn't inspire A team to win in Perth
What was the tactic just kick and it will be alright
Keep kicking and it will be alright
They should have been bashed and starved of possession in the first 20 put them to sleep and then play rugby as they would have started to think the world was against them
The force are lacking the ability to attack through the midfield and there winger are week so they need to maintain as much possession as possible
Just keep kicking and look at the cricket score next week
The canes look a determined bunch so the force will need to start thinking now
I can watch Perth glory if I want to see kicking
Get your shit together foley you were out coached by RG who has nothing to work with either so you must stand up and be countef
Lost Opportunity. Week 1 to Week 2 what happened to the attitude and the intensity. That should be non negotiable.
Same old same old. One good win then rubbish. Pick a captain who will lead not just one who has been around for the longest.
The long period of scrums at the start of the second half was a real pivotal time in the match. I reckon it showed that Faulkner's maybe not a Tight-Head (was he not usually used for replacing Pek at Loose-Head last season...?), and Wykes is not a strong enough captain. How many scrums did the Reds have where the ball was trapped in the front row but not going anywhere..? I think he should have making that point to the Ref (who seemed to be getting more swayed by the Reds "chatter"....!)
Yeah it was interesting how the scrums were an absorbingly even contest with neither side able to exert pressure on the other until the ref started to find penalties against the force.
Once there was a flow of penalties, the tentativeness of the Force front row, combined with the confidence amongst the reds that they could push the lines a bit harder turned our scrum into a shamozzle.
Re Tets at Tighthead......he outperformed the other Wallaby tourists on the spring tour, despite limited game time, that's good enough for me. I worry more about Ollie, who looks like he needs more muscle, coz he's getting beaten up in scrummaging.
Wtf - have we ever won a game by kicking the f. In ball away - last week physical and prepared to attack - this week pathetic
Not sure if any force player actually made the advantage line ? At least when the backup crew came on they played with a bit of passion - Reds were there for the taking - a total missed opportunity - come on Foles that kicking game was not warranted - we want entertainment
