Tahs $1.8

I've seen some positivity around the Tahs. I assume that's about the backs? That pack doesn't look great

Really taken aback this isn't starting on time.

Hendren looks handy at 15 for Tahs.

What a passage of play!

Haha that was a messy couple of minutes

That was fun to watch.

Jet shoes Jorgensen

Far out a back three of Tangitau, Jordan and Jorgensen on a dry track would be superb to watch.

Great footwork

Reds score after the halftime hooter via Brial.

@Canes4life Brial is impressive

The added benefit of Hendren at 15 is it means Jorgensen can play wing where he is better

Excellent ref work Williams

Bloody hell didn't recognise Samu, he's gone beast.

Nicely done Gamble

Fair gulf in class here.

Tahs look useful. Signs of starch in their pack

A penny for Steve Larkham's thoughts on Les Kiss getting the Wallaby role?

@KiwiMurph

Yeah they went a lot better than I expected

Are the Reds a bit shit?

How did JAS go? Barely appeared on the HLs.

Wilson and Tate a big loss for the Reds, but not sure how many of those points that they would claw back.

Comp is so much better when the Tahs are up and about.

And noticed old mate Hoops doing the interviews. Guy looks like a million bucks!

Promoted well above his station.

Was pleased to see Williams send Fainga off for HIA when Tah's medics seemed to let him stay on.

@game_film JAS was lucky to get away with leading with the knee into a tackler...

Qld have a big injury list. They were missing their top two halfbacks and top three 1st 5s amongst others.

There is a good team of players in Australia. They lack a quality 10, and have zero depth, but if they can get everyone on the park at the same time they are a handful for anyone.
