Agree totally Gigs None of the reserves want to look bad in a winning team so all should really step up
Keep it up, plenty of you had it in for The Badge before last weeks effort. Hope it works for Paddy too![]()

I agree with the Dellit comments - I thought Foley took too long to drag him in the Rebels match. I saw him for Neddies v Cott a few weeks back (centre) and was expecting him to shine. He didn't. I really hope he has embraced the culture of the 1st team and steps up to play how he knows he can.

We had a quick chat to Foley at captains run and he said that the new guys were really hungry and wanted to be a part of a winning side. He said everyone was excited.
Incidentally ebersohn was nailing shots on goal from everywhere.
coz Stone Cold says so
Our strength is that the team play for one another. I have no doubt that the replacements are in that same frame of mind, otherwise the they would not have been selected. Will be looking forward to seeing that wall of defense and us capitalizing on the turn over ball. Go the Force, bring back another win and really shock the east coast when we go top of the Aussie Conference.

I dont trust Dellit enuff to start yet.
I prefer to see godwin/brache in the centres, Cummins and DHP on the wings and Holmes at Fullback.
While some of us have been critical of cummins(mainly in defense and lacking consumption of meat) I would like to see him be consistant for the rest of the season. Nobody ever questions his work ethic and passion but that alone wont guarantee him a gold jersey.
Can't quite figure out GG's tone
Rebels v Force, AAMI Park, Melbourne
19:40 local, 09:40 GMT, 19:40 EST, 19:10 CST, 17:40 WST
Head to head: Played 7; Rebels 5, Force 2
In Melbourne: Played 3; Rebels 2, Force 1
Last clash: Round 4 2014, Force 32 - 7 Rebels, nib Stadium, Perth
Preview: There is no doubting the Force after their performance against the Waratahs last week. With almost no possession (33%) or territory (29%), the Force proved a simple game plan works, with the side pouncing on any of the Waratahs mistakes to score three tries and held strong in defence to let in only one try. Earning their fifth consecutive win - a first for the Force - they will enter round 10 with all the momentum behind them. Although they lost several players through injury after their massive win, their three keys players - Matt Hodgson, Ben McCalman and Nick 'the Honey Badger' Cummins - remain and will be ready to rally the troops and lead them to a sixth straight victory.
The Rebels were unlucky to fall short to the Chiefs last weekend after clawing their way back from a 19-0 margin in the first half to come undone in the final minutes and finish 6-points short. A slow start and poor discipline cost the side early, but they made a quick turn around in the second half and showed dashes of greatness around the pitch. Bryce Hegarty, Jason Woodward and Scott Higginbotham will be essential in firing up the struggling pack.

Oh..sorry didn't read on. Apparently it was the ARU and the Ref's fault that the Tahs lost..
Waratahs v Bulls, Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney
19:40 local, 09:40 GMT, 19:40 EST, 19:10 CST, 17:40 WST
Head to head: Played 19; Waratahs 8, Bulls 11
In Sydney: Played 8; Waratahs 5, Bulls 3
Last clash: Round 12 2012, Bulls 27 - 24 Waratahs, Allianz, Sydney
Preview: The Waratahs won't use the controversial withdrawal of Israel Folau as an excuse for their disappointing loss to the Force last weekend, after the side held close to all the of the possession (67%) and territory (71%) but failed to produce the points. Camped within the Force's half for most of the match, the Waratahs were impressive with crunching tackles, strong line breaks (10) and dazzling backline moves, but the side's lack of execution cost them the match. The forward pack was impressive with a dominant scrum; however, the Waratahs defence was lacking, as they were slow to reach the breakdown and allowed the Force to make easy metres. A return home should bring a more settled side to the game.

Nice comment at the end Gerry!![]()
I suppose this could be the banana-skin game, but I'll be surprised if complacency is what loses us this match, I don't think we are that silly. I am concerned over the Dellit's wing defence, but who knows, he may well relish the recall and be at his barnstorming best!
I suppose the best way for me to guarantee ourselves a win is for me to go to the TAB and put a lazy $5 on the Rebels! My shit luck will give the the Force the win! I'll happily give away a fiver for that! Cheaper than an NiB Stadium hot-dog!![]()
