Serious. Brendan Cannon sums it up nicely -

But what would he know? I would have thought that as he was one of yours, you might respect his opinion.
Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.
Scintillating analysis.
A real deep thinker.
I don't know, I thought the Reds had a good game. Quade certainly had some good bits, some other not so good bits. Tough call, all ultimately down to the gameplan. Not sure the Wallabies backline would be any better than that though - perhaps that was as good as our wide game would get and it wasn't enough.
I was impressed by the Reds performance, loads of guts. Cooper certainly proved himself to be no captain, at best he is a bench player for the Wallabies and only brought on when we are willing to risk it.
There is absolutely no doubt the Lions will step it up for the tests and there will be few of the mistakes we saw yesterday. The Wallabies need to be at the top of their game and there is no room for high risk players like Cooper. To beat the Lions we need to play smart as I don't think we can out muscle them with our forwards....hopefully I am wrong.
Just happy to be here
If the reds had their wallabies last night they would have beat the lions no doubt. Horwill, Genia, Digby, Slipper, Gill, Simmons and Fainga'a would have added the skill and depth that they missed to go the distance. Cooper made mistakes but kept an attacking edge that at times kept the reds in the match. Although that attack at all costs attitude breeds mistakes which in the wet is compounded further.
Would have loved to have seen Chris Feauai-Sautia run at 13 for a future wallabies crystal ball against quality opposition.
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
wow tic, a bit sensitive last night!
if you read my post you would have discovered praise for the Queensland backs and even some for quade.
if our forwards weren't that good how come our Scrum had parity and yours crumbled. how come most of our play was pick n drive and we only got blown apart in the midfield? how come our tries were scored by loosies?
quadrant used the game as a personal advertisement, showing that he's one of the best ballrunners in the with d when he gets it right, but he's risky and can't think under pressure. if you can't accept that you're worse than the Australian selectors.

Agree with this 100%
Quade is the best attacking 5/8 in the country, however his high risk approach inevitably leads to mistakes.. Robbie won't select him because he doesn't suit the risk adverse style the Wallabies have played the last 12months.

Reds were missing 6 regular starting forwards including the 5 called up to the Wallabies. The set piece was wonky, but their work at the breakdown was impressive.

Cooper didn't have a woeful game, he although did have against the rebels last week, the question has to be not if coopers picked or not, but why would a player want to be involved in a self assessed "toxic environment"?, If Ewan Mckenzie is named the next wallabies coach, I'm sure he'll automatically pick QC.....
