Other games this weekend

[shasta]

Doggies were ripped off Shasta? Thoughts?

Yeah pretty bad calls at the end. Someone should start an investigation.
Not as bad as the behaviour of the Dogs "fans" afterward.

[WFDom]

Horwill got a straight Red for a swinging arm

[shasta]

I thought it was justified. Horan didn't. No surprise there.

How will Des go at press conference, big fine coming on?

How will Des go at press conference, big fine coming on?

From what I saw on Fox news he started by apologising to Voldemort for the yobbos in the crowd.

[Scozzie]

Never been a big fan of Horwill, but I thought it was no more than a yellow for the swinging arm, refs are becoming the centre of attention in games these days. And what's with the speight of penalty tries from them as well...??

+1 His and Simmon's off the ball stuff shits me.

I'm sorry - may be talking out of turn here as not a rugby expert but the whole game seemed like a complete schmozzle in 2nd half. Thought there were some good plays by both Reds and Rebels but it all deteriorated after that. The only thing I can see is that at least teams are finding out what it's like being at the end of some of the shit ref decisions the Force always seem to cop ( and I reckom I'm not just talking sour grapes). Those last 2 games in SA really capped it off! At the same time I'm getting so angry with with the Force watching say the Canes play such a great overall team game. Is it really so hard to run hard and fast, keep ball in hand, support your teammates by keeping up when they break the line and know who's sitting on their shoulder for a pass? To run hard without stopping and burying your head in the ground and giving up the ball because noone's decided to back you up in defence? I'm angry because the Force were really hitting their stride last season and now all of a sudden they've decided to give up the ghost and run back into their shells when I know they're way way better then that AND THEY DON't NEED ANY STARS! FFSake get your shit back together!

Sorry that's my rant for tonight.

Horwill has had this coming for awhile.. He and Simmons have been dirty for a while and that's 2 red cards in 6 weeks... I feel he just does not want to be at the reds.. and could not get out of his contract.

I posted earlier that the reds have some real internal problems and one is how much players are paid.. That's why last yr heaps left the reds for other places as I think they were all told there were no pay rises and they spent lots of money on KH JOC and thompson So I reckon Horwill cracked the shits and this is how he is paying the reds back. Both times he has been shown leaving the field he is laughing.. Suck eggs reds

Do you mean spate, the Brumbies player or the NZ beer?

[SNOB]

Agreed Tonkar. I said only a few weeks ago (on the crowd) when he got his last red card that he didn't give a sh1t for his club ands trying to get out of his contract as he knows he doesn't/shouldn't have a chance of Wallaby selection. Raise the ire of a few QRU fans though!
He's a disgrace to RU should be playing with the mungos! Not that he has the skills. Sorry Shasta!
Hope 'Quins know what they are getting! ( Quins I think)

[Sheikh]

Completely agree, Valzc. The Canes are showing everyone how to play rugby this year, and doing it with a game-plan of simple, error-free rugby. Nothing they do requires amazing ball-skills or even complicated back-row or backs moves; it's just hard running with support, making good decisions and strong defence. And it's difficult for opposing coaches to come up with plans to beat them because there isn't a plan to beat.

They're even surviving Barrett having a not great season with the boot (8/15 in conversions, and 17/22 in penalties)

I'll take the beer option............................and check my spelling.....!

[jargan83]

Hurricanes end to end try was awesome to watch. I'm not going to compare the Hurricanes to the Force because it will make me sad

I think they were all told there were no pay rises and they spent lots of money on KH JOC and thompson So I reckon Horwill cracked the shits and this is how he is paying the reds back. Both times he has been shown leaving the field he is laughing.. Suck eggs reds

Can I have some of what you're taking?
