Possum face
Roar Rookie
Not a very guru like comment, but with a name like "thugby" it kind of makes sense. Just remember possums are "lurved" in Oz but skinned in NZ.
Derm
Roar Rookie
Completely agree: the mullet is the best 9 I've seen for years.
Derm
Roar Rookie
Agreed: the blond replacement 9 is a cracking player - he should at least be ahead of Thomas if not Tate.

Tonight’s match just points to the answer for ARU. Invest in youth rugby players and have players like Tim Ryan, Darby Lancaster, and Corey Toole, shine rather than pay massive amounts of money for Vunivalo and Suallie

Yeah in the 1924 season she showed tremendous pace.
The Late News
Roar Rookie
Yeah 1984 was a tough year for the old girl! Thanks for passing on your respects mate. It's very much appreciated.

Caleb Clarke a few years ago would have gone for the line himself…..finally learning.

I am a long time Reds supporter and financially too. What about you?

Roar Rookie
It didn't count for nothing. It has put Paisami well and truly back in Wallaby frame and catapulted Tim Ryan into the future. A lot of players will take a lot from that loss.
Reds Harry
Roar Rookie
When Tom Lynagh limped off and Lawson came on I was worried. Well founded. If only JOC fit.
RuckingFun
Roar Rookie
Yeah, the reds looked gassed with 10minutes to go. Their bench didn’t have much of an impact. They definitely missed Tate and Fraser as well
Pete McAloney
Roar Pro
Yeah I was thinking that too!

The Reds starters who played the whole 80 were legless by the end, as were a few of the Blues starters also. However the Blues reserves just had a little bit too much class and put on 2 lovely tries at the end to win a great match. My only comment is surely Mr Vunivalu has a gold-plated signed guarantee attached to his contract. How the hell does he keep getting picked?
Mactruck
Roar Rookie
With McReight and McDermott I think they win that
Wrecked 'em
Roar Rookie
The sh t coloured shirts you refer to represented the military. You know, Anzac Day & weekend. What a disgraceful disrespectful comment.
Pete McAloney
Roar Pro
Yeah, really dumb decisions at the end which cost us the match, so infuriating!
Reds Harry
Roar Rookie
When they were up 31-20 Wrchon or Lawson did some fool chip kick and the Blues ran it back and scored. What was really disappointing was Ryan and others switched off and allowed the Blues breakout. Guess you don’t need to stay switched on in club rugby but they were badly found out.

Lebowski, also CentreLink is closed for the weekend. :silly:

The other players deserved the win! Including the real winger Ryan on the other side!
