Tim Sampson must be grinning from ear to ear …..
3 tries from ex Force players mmmm…….humiliation springs to mind
No offence Ham but honourable results is what’s killed us since day dot! Hopefully Cron can beat the honourable thing out of them. We’re losing members and honourable losses just shouldn’t be accepted any more.Originally Posted by Ham105
Must say great to see Rodda out there doing his thing and Marley Pearce is becoming a real gem.
Marley's the new K-bomb!
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!

"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
Louwrens..yeah..nah..he was a tosser when he was with the Force
Haven't been able to catch the game. Did anyone play well?
Spink had a good game
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
The Rebels have put us No.9 on the ladder. Let's now hope we can beat No.1.
"Hopefully" they put out a B side because they can't be caught...
Ouch that hurt, that was a very bad day at the office.
I think the boys are hurting more than we are. The inexperience showed with a lot of incorrect decisions, however for a group this young its going to part of the learning experience albeit a hard one.
The glaring issue was the non stable front row. With Robbo and Santi missing it was always going to be difficult and credit to the Rebels they were very good in targeting our weakness.
The Rebels played well, in fact very well, and a well earned win for them.
In a hard working team like ours with no out and out superstars or x factor players to change the game dynamics, being even a couple of percent off where we needed to be was going to result in an ugly outcome and it sure did.
That said some players put out markers and tried hard.
Rodda made a decent comeback from injury and unless we make the finals his impact for us will be fleeting this year as he works his way back to match fitness, and it will be a case of what could have been.
Williams, I assume went off injured as his stats were already standouts when he left the field, and we were left with a weakened middle row when Felix joined him on the bench.
Stewart, Spink, Tiatia, Fainga'a, Tizzano and Rohboni amongst our best.
Stats for the match to follow:
The good news is that with one match to play and the last of the matches in the round, we will know exactly what we need to do to make the finals.
Lets make sure we get to HBF in droves and help get the boys home.

Yes it was a shocker like round 2 against Qld. The boys backed that up with a good home win followed by bringing two BPs home from NZ. Those points could be our ticket to the playoffs if the coaches can get them up for a last round upset. Go hard!

Does anyone know if we can delay The Chiefs plane or send it via 4 different airports?

Have finally had the chance to watch the game.
Top effort by the Rebels.
Thought the new ref did a reasonable job.
Lacklustre performance with most players showing zero sense of the occasion and opportunity being presented.
Generally the team looked passive and disinterested.
By my own count the WF squared 3 of the 10 minute segments and lost 5 - which easily explains the big loss.
IMO only Spinks, Stewart and Pearce can hold their heads high.
The backs got very little quality ball.
We missed Medrano and Robertson (2 Test players) and our lack of depth (in tight 5) really showed.
I hope we can recruit well in the off season.
In reality we haven't been good enough to make the 8.
I'm still looking forward to the game at home against the Chiefs next week.
Press conference was a bit meh....
Cron talking sense about learning. But once again questioning the players going away from the "processes"! As he has done multiple times this year.
So that begs the question.... where is the disconnect???
In the first instance, why is the leadership group not re-implementing the message once they've noticied the individuals "straying" and then pulling them back in. Secondly, I'd imagine it isn't too hard to get the message on to the field from the coaches box once the issue has been noticed up there too?
Wells was questioning players "desire"...... without including himself? Also said that players only get "one game like that" and if they repeat it there would be a question mark against their desire and then a subsequent lack of trust from those around them. Also questioned if the players were in the "right environment" as we only want "high performance". Pretty ugly coming from someone who rarely walks as well as he talks.
They had there "one" against the Reds at the same venue earlier on this year. But still 50% of the starting team was the same.
Not sure if you can get a "desire" stat Tazz? But I didn't see any leading from the front in that department. As Andrew mentioned, only really Stewart, Spink & Marly can put their hand up.
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
