As opposed to Brisbane which is pretty fresh by Qld standards today, currently 18, feels like 13. Windy as hell from the west, gusting to almost 50kms.

mariner4life

bro it's amazing another 1,800 km further north, currently a very cool 22 feels like 20. reckon i might even need a 2nd layer tonight....

Should suit us more than the Maroon mob

KiwiMurph

Awful first involvement by Kalani Thomas. At his best he is dangerous but too many errors.

NTA

Pitch looks like shit

mariner4life

This halfback has fucked up majorly with his two first involvements. Awful

how that knock on was missed is beyond me

KiwiMurph

Itoje yelling at the lineout is fucked.

Step in Doleman

Canes4life

Shut the fuck up Itoje.

NTA

Itoje should penalised for the childish screaming

Canes4life

Brial is the guy we let get away. He’d be the perfect 6 for us now.

His old man was a wallaby who biffed frank bunce - he was never gonna be an AB

ACT Crusader

Will the Reds attempt a penalty kick if given the chance?

ACT Crusader

Lions make good yards in the centres but then fluff it with a bad pass

BIL handling has been poor so far

ACT Crusader

Rock solid scrum from the Reds.

KiwiMurph

Haha Doleman is a lunatic

ACT Crusader

Argh, just go to ground and take the tackle.

Now costs them a try.

Canes4life

Thomas is the Aussie version of Sam Nock

that was too easy in the end ....

Dodge

I can't watch today and am listening to TalkSport, which Ben Kay is doing his best to turn into a listenable version but the commentator is appalling, no idea where the ball is on the pitch, who's got it, what's happening, he thinks he's a summariser on TMS.

Therefore any fuller descriptions of incidents would be appreciated

wtf was that ruck ..... parks picked it up and put it back in the ruck???

KiwiMurph

Reds lack of size in their backs evident on that cross kick

ACT Crusader

@Canes4life oh yeah, they kicked 2 in that must win game, the second last of the season. The only 2 for the season.

BIL clearly use to slow playing rucks and set plays .... I am all for them getting a hurry up and can se Park getting pinged for fluffing around before to long
