$3.90?! TO THE TAB!!!
Some team comparisons:
Starting XV:
REBELS: 871 SXV caps; 4 Test Players - 49 caps.
FORCE: 922 SXV caps; 8 (6W/1AB/1T) Test Players - 58 caps.
Benches:
REBELS: 147 SXV caps.
FORCE: 221 SXV caps.
Packs:
REBELS: 871kg
FORCE: 905kg
Force has more SXV experience.
Force more players with Test experience/caps.
Brumbies + 34kg for starting pack and +3kg with replacement front row.
Brumbies meeting Force 2 x OSF with 3 x OSF (in XXIII).
Interested to see who will step up to help cover for Ben McCalman.
Ever hopeful of our 3rd win - but Rebels have been our nemesis.
And no Sias? Injured, already gone home for a visit or Force being allowed to play how they want? And suddenly Zack is flavour of the month again - thought he did well last week, although got trampled a bit. For Gods sake though, can they just try to to send the ball to the wings for once! I think Nick got pretty bored last week out on the edge, no cover and Alby still bloody sends the ball right.
Just play well guys! A win would be great.
Anything positive will do me this week. I have very low expectations
C'mon the
Make no mistake the Rebels will be out for blood.
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Goes without saying! The Force need to play out of their skins, and pull themselves out of this doldrums.

Anyone know why one of the shining lights of the season was how kane koteka played and is dropped for the last game and replaced by stander who since last playing has been injured and it must of been serious as he hasnt even played club footy.has been coaching kids at neddies though
Do these stats mean something in themselves, or are they provided so some sort of conclusion can be drawn from them?.Originally Posted by andrewg
I've worked out a couple of interesting theories:
The Force could have 8 113.125 kilo forwards, or 7 smaller fleet footed 85kg forwards and one exceptionally fat bastard at around 280kgs.
The Rebels players have less caps than the Force, and the Rebels are higher in the ladder, should the Force look to some less experienced players to try and edge that SXV cap level down in order to win more (statistically speaking).
Is there anywhere I can find out which team has the bigger feet?, how many left handed players are there in the rebels outside backs (including bench, but not including utility players)?
OK, so we've got The Force, The Rebels and now The Brumbies all together there - how's it going to work?
If the Force are playing The Rebels/Brumbies - I would tip against the Force, or if you must, a very conservative wager on the locals.
If the Force/Rebels are Playing the Brumbies, I would still go with the Brumbies, even though the 34kg front row will struggle against the 905 kilos of the Force/Rebels. As the pack tires, the 3kg replacement front row should find the going easier.
If the first half is Brumbies/Force v Rebels, and the second half is Brumbies/Rebels v Force, ??? - it's a teaser isn't.
I would look at .50c on a Force win, or if your local allows it - go all in with $1 Force win/draw.
Growden is just pissed we beat the Waratahs... Twice.
Growden is right.
Dont like the guy but he is right on this one.
The force have no plan B as all have been saying and have no idea ti move the ball.
So yep the sooner it is over the better and that would be the feeling amongst the players also.
Get it over with and go on holiday back ovetr east, south africa nz.
OK, I've been pretty negative about the Forces efforts and coaching so I'm going to change tactics. The Force will win tonight because the Rebels have at least 4 rejects from WA so how can we lose.
I reckon we have a chance at winning this one. The Rebels generally don't win when they are hot favourites and the Force have a tendency to beat expectations whn they have been written off....
May be able to catch the second half when we lob into portree Skye.thats if its worth tracking down a pub with it on!
Make of them what you want Ralto, but thanks for your contribution.
If you can get this comparison from somewhere else then let me know.....
Usually the comparison shows just how well our boys do despite having the odds stacked against them.
With the Rebels they just explain how frustrating is the fact that WF has won only 2 from 9!
GO THE FORCE!
