Force v Reds

[oxleymoron]

There is no better feeling than walking up Caxton St after a win.

We've got what the Reds can only dream of - a solid 10. Long may he stay fit.

[Ecky]

...and a back-up 10 as well

I've never seen it before

Anyone who saw the Fox broadcast might have caught this post-game: "Interesting Inside goss from Marto, the coaches are not getting along at all. "

Interesting commentary on the duality of Shasta. There is more to Shasta than is dreamt of in your philosophies sevenmile

Same old shit same as last year no improvement it's going to be a long season
Just a few dreams I've had
My philosophies are not dreams they are fact just sayin

No surprise at the Reds. Everybody thinks RG is a dribbler. His teams play like high school 2nd xvs. The back up coaches can't comprehend his game plans. They also know he's a dead man walking so they are lining up for the job. The board needs to broom the entire coaching staff and bring in a successful coach who will bring his supportive entourage with him. If the top is squabbling and bickering the morale of the entire organization is up the shit. Bring in a no nonsense hard bastard and broom the dribblers. The geniuses that rehired RG should fall on their sword. So much rugby talent and so little leadership and management.

ah-the Rex I like is back!

How about some rugby discussion Gunny. The Force were good in defence. Hodgson was all over there mid field runners. RG coached sides are not renowned for intelligent play. They had us out wide. The NZ teams will kill us. Our lineout is dodgy and our scrum is crocked

if I knew anything about rugby,i would discuss it--the G spot I shall leave up to you also

They should give Nick Stiles the head coach gig IMO.

Someone's broken down the stable door and let a few of 'em out.

Contrary to popular opinion I thought Alby dug the pill out a little quicker tonight. Particularly early on. Ran more than he has in a while but not much came of that. Mafi was great again. Pity he can't stay on. The backs ran a bit more straight too. Way too many handling errors, even allowing for the conditions. Most when we were in the try scoring zone too. Maybe they can get the Bulls in a couple of weeks.

I for one thought it was an improvement on last week, sure the Reds were a disaster and our set piece was shit, but we seemed to control the pill pretty well, kept the game in the right half and attempted to throw it around a few times. I count that as a vast improvement over chucking it out to the chalk every ruck and going backwards all night. Was it perfect... No, was it acceptable... Maybe, when you compare it to what we've been accepting for the last 14 months, are we going to beat the brumbies... Not a chance in hell

Marto stuck his neck out there.. He clearly wants a broom sweep. He was objective about the Force for once also.

Good call, he'd definitely do better than Graham in charge. But you can't help feeling that a complete change is needed at the top echelon at the Reds.. But long may the current regime continue..

[Rex Messup]

Stiles is part of the problem at the Reds. He needs the stage hook as well. They couldn't come up with game plan for $1000 at Kasey's. RG has some kid playing 10 who would struggle in 2nd grade when his coaching career is on the line. They could play Khunt at 10 Kurevi at 12 Fousea at 13 and their choice of Fijian flyers at 11 14 15. They would have a backline that would take teams apart. Frisby is a handy 9. Luckily RG wouldn't know if his arse was on fire and we stole 2 points today. The Reds won't win a game with their current 10

So - we have people whining that we won? Is that what I'm reading?
