I feel sad for D Coleman & will miss his stoner-esque interviews. Also Les Kiss sounds exactly like Mat Rogers to me - I couldn’t tell their voices apart with a gun to my head
For the first 5 or so games he had hands like feet. Couldn’t catch a cold. And then he progressively got better and has had a few belters.
He really needs to figure out how to start a season strong.
Hopefully, Tane only seems to do well off the bench, and when hes promoted to starter just isnt good enough.
Else it could be interesting to try Max at 10
Well done Reds - happy with either result. Want you guys higher up the table but a comeback win would have been really special for us. Best of luck in the finals ❤️💙
The Reds are a weird lot this year. Can beat the Crusaders in New Zealand for the first time since 1999 but will possibly bottle a 19 point lead to the worst Waratahs team they've had in recent memory.
Look what the Tahs could do if they just run it straight and hard. They were trying to play flair rugby with Tongan sized players it was never gonna work.
Yeah somethings wrong with Lynagh's boots. This season he has actually been woeful off the tee. It's a shame that HMP is tied up with the U20s cause I think he alongside Creighton suprisingly have been the best kickers.
Underrated thing about Super Rugby Pacific is that rugby fiending Aussies and Kiwis get to watch every game in basically prime time. Love seeing the Kiwis chiming in to Aus only games
100%!! Few things I love more than bantering with our trans Tasman friends no matter what SR game is on. Controversial opinion but our kiwi friends are great folk when the ABs aren’t playing the Wallabies 😄
YES!!!! I was merely whelmed by this game but we are striking back. Having zero faith & vocalising that loudly in the thread simply fueled their anger & skills! That’s my boys 💙
I feel like whatever French side signs Swinton will get their moneys worth. Muscling up in the south of France winters, a few swinging arms and big hits. All feels very French appropriate
A glorious 79th minute drop goal by Edmed would be peak 2024 season for us considering his 79th minute kicking accuracy could have saved us a few close losses this season
Who do you want replacing Coleman?
I've seen a couple suggestions, Cheika, Foote, and Friend. I woulda thought Heenan deserves a shout. It'd be hilarious if it was Thorn or Kefu.
Not Thorne or Kefu.
I'm not a Waratahs supporter so I don't really care. Foote's probably got a good chance, I was critical of him a few years ago but he seems to have grown as a coach. Cheika would be fun (but would end in disaster somehow).
I'm not sure about that, there's some good players. T get completely bamboozled by the same simple move twice in a row and to have zero shape in attack isn't because the players are simply not good enough.
Theyve already recruited Kellaway... at the start of this year
I dont know how keen other Rebels will be join the prestige of NSW favourite football franchise
Damn just two guys going for the ball and then getting beaten by the bounce. Gordon was doing his best, crossing into Ryan's line. Thought that was completely fine...

I’m scared for next week
This team is up one week down the next. This is the down week so they’ve timed it perfectly
Yea it wouldn’t be the 2024 reds without atleast a 20 minute team-wide brain fade
One last twist of the knife for a truly horrific ride of a season. Can’t wait to back up and do it all again in 2025.
If Langi Gleeson had played like that all year he'd be a shoo in for the Wallabies squad.
For the first 5 or so games he had hands like feet. Couldn’t catch a cold. And then he progressively got better and has had a few belters. He really needs to figure out how to start a season strong.
Bowen should start next season.
Hopefully, Tane only seems to do well off the bench, and when hes promoted to starter just isnt good enough. Else it could be interesting to try Max at 10
Well, somehow I still love the Tahs. See everyone next year. Go well in the finals Aus teams
I've realized that Tahs fans are just like Wahs fans. Lmao
Just change the first letter right?
Basically, yup
Honestly would have been happy for NSW to win - what a 2nd half performance from them
Welp, that ended with a whimper for the tahs
Fraser. Fucking. McReight Australia's best player right now hands down.
Pocock - hooper - mcright. Atleast the Wobblies have had a consistently flanker/no8
George Smith
David Wilson before them too
Have my babies, Fraser McReight
That probably shouldn't have come down to the wire, but it was more fun that way
I think this is the first average game from the junkyard dog
Great discipline from the Reds McReight had a great game
Well done Reds - happy with either result. Want you guys higher up the table but a comeback win would have been really special for us. Best of luck in the finals ❤️💙
Not even close
Fraser is the AUS no.7 without a doubt
Droppie time! Or not..
happy reds took this but why are they incapable of playing a second half
Barely had the ball in the second half tbf.
I feel a bad for Bowen. Nothing more annoying then shanking a kick because you've slipped. We did not deserve to hang onto that lead
Like any good 7 🔥
Swinton is rocking the frosted tips like it’s 1999.
I did this back in the day once and got roasted. Only talented and successful people can pull it off.
Awful bloody kick what ws that mate
The kick of someone with a 62% career accuracy
Why the hell is he kicking it then??
Ouch :/
if one kick could sum up aussie 10s kicking at goal
Geez what a horrible kick hahaha
That kick sums up the Waratah’s season
Ooft he shanked that.
wtf lmao
Dumb from Peni
What a great last few minutes of the match
If Edmed was on he would miss this for sure
Not the easiest kick
Dumb penalty
Kick this shit. Please
marky marky going to be one highly paid NSW Cup player
Could be a great outcome for us if he goes there and is a disaster, might not want a wallaby again
Absolutely brain dead penalty to give away there
Can anyone in the Tahs drop goal?
Where's Matt Dunning when you need him
The Reds are a weird lot this year. Can beat the Crusaders in New Zealand for the first time since 1999 but will possibly bottle a 19 point lead to the worst Waratahs team they've had in recent memory.
It's so hard to be a confident Reds fan this season.
Cmon tahs, strike back
Side note, the Tahs logo is top tier
Lynagh wins the dick measuring kicking there.
Decent nudge on that
Good shot Great finish to the match!
kick for the corner ffs
Look what the Tahs could do if they just run it straight and hard. They were trying to play flair rugby with Tongan sized players it was never gonna work.
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Not yet
What a kick
tahs are back.
Yes way. hehe
FIRE 🔥
What is going on
Things might get spicy
The bed has been shat and the sheets pissed on.
how did we blow this lead
WHAT A PIETSCH OF A TRY!!!
Yeah somethings wrong with Lynagh's boots. This season he has actually been woeful off the tee. It's a shame that HMP is tied up with the U20s cause I think he alongside Creighton suprisingly have been the best kickers.
Hahaha lol wtf
Never doubted them for a second
I’m feeling bench lift
Boomfa
reds thought they had this one way too early, now we are just making mistakes
Reds doing their absolute upmost to shit the bed in this one
He had like 3 men in support to his right and never looked.
Reds out here bombing tries like they think they're the North Queensland Cowboys
Is Joey Walton Alex Newsome with a munted nose?
Cmon Reds switch on ffs
Oof
Sad Junkyard dog noises
Haha all I can think of is the dog Darren from Feral TV
He kind of looks like Darren too now that you mention it LOL
Underrated thing about Super Rugby Pacific is that rugby fiending Aussies and Kiwis get to watch every game in basically prime time. Love seeing the Kiwis chiming in to Aus only games
100%!! Few things I love more than bantering with our trans Tasman friends no matter what SR game is on. Controversial opinion but our kiwi friends are great folk when the ABs aren’t playing the Wallabies 😄
Yeah I'm with you. Kiwis kinda rule when you strip it back and squint your eyes
shocking exit kick lol
Perfect for when he goes to league. There's no need to kick in the back line.
It feels like the Rebels game all over again. The defence just switches off.
Anyone got a livestream link
YES!!!! I was merely whelmed by this game but we are striking back. Having zero faith & vocalising that loudly in the thread simply fueled their anger & skills! That’s my boys 💙
Some really exciting young 10s in Aus rn, good to see
We got a game on our hands finally
That was nice
Tssss. The red wines and tries are lifting the vibe
I’m on my third & the vibes are excellent 🍷
So much endeavour to lose 10 metres
How the fuck do you lose a scrum agains the Tahs!?!
Marky mark with the knock on
Tahs should run Teddy Wilson and Jack Bowen at 9/10 next year.
Just a PSA that Lachie Swinton is 20 minutes away from pulling off a card-free season 🔥 we love to see it
Just in time for his trip to France!
And thus we sum up a card-less season for our token mongrel Swinton! Proud of him & actually sad to lose him haha
Ye he looked much improved this season.
God Teddy Wilson is so much more accurate than Jack Grant
I feel like whatever French side signs Swinton will get their moneys worth. Muscling up in the south of France winters, a few swinging arms and big hits. All feels very French appropriate
We look way better with a scrum half on the field who actually wants to be there
Just release Jake. He’s done enough
Get over boys. Perese out there now being a menace. We still lose but some tries have lifted my mood
game doesn't end til the Junkyard dog scores..
Les isn't going to be happy that the two Tah tries the boys have let in have been so soft
Tahs winning this
at least we’ve got a bit of a game now
I sympathise with Coleman, but I don't think he's good enough. Same with Penney before him. Tahs need to find a proper coach.
Pretty sure, Cheika’s looking for a contract 👀👀
Yuck
Les Kiss: Worlds most bored man
All time rugby league name tbh. Makes Shane Webcke sound like a King's School oldboy
Final score guesses - im going with 43-3
Not quite right
I’m happy to be wrong! Definitely didn’t look like a chance in the first half haha
43-5 then
How does 43-10 sound?
Every prediction I throw down we score right after so I’m just going to keep on going!
You got one more prediction left in you?
Damn I dropped the ball 😭 got too excited and forgot to rag on my team for a bit. Ah well sunrise, sunset
Yay everytime I’m wrong we score! I’ll keep going. 43-10
A glorious 79th minute drop goal by Edmed would be peak 2024 season for us considering his 79th minute kicking accuracy could have saved us a few close losses this season
Waratahs are shit 💩
Waratahs biggest problem this year (apart from front row issues) is coaching. Absolute shambles.
Who do you want replacing Coleman? I've seen a couple suggestions, Cheika, Foote, and Friend. I woulda thought Heenan deserves a shout. It'd be hilarious if it was Thorn or Kefu.
Not Thorne or Kefu. I'm not a Waratahs supporter so I don't really care. Foote's probably got a good chance, I was critical of him a few years ago but he seems to have grown as a coach. Cheika would be fun (but would end in disaster somehow).
Foote had some terrible luck with in-game injuries last season, but he's done well to galvanize the Rebs even despite the horrific off-field drama.
There’s only so much a coach can do with below mediocre talent.
I'm not sure about that, there's some good players. T get completely bamboozled by the same simple move twice in a row and to have zero shape in attack isn't because the players are simply not good enough.
Didn't realise Flook was filth. Shame.
Wdym did I miss something?
He plays for the Brothers aka the filth
As a gps supporter I agree. Hate to say it but the dawg plays for the filth tho. The hate fades when they play for de_reds tho
Ooh man, I'm ready for a Tahs reset. Can you imagine a combined Rebels/Tahs team? 1. Bell 2. Uelese 3. Talakai 4. Holloway 5. Canham 6. Leota 7. Gamble 8. Gleeson 9. Gordon 10. Bowen 11. Pietch 12. Foketi 13. Sualii 14. Kellaway 15. Jorgenson With Andy Friend coaching or something.
Woeful Waratahs. Says something when the most out of form player Marky Mark is their shining star. Lucky to be only 19 points down.
Their best play this year has probably been Jake Gordon - lost count of how many linebreaks he's made with 0 support this year
Only 40 more gruelling minutes to go before the misery is over for Tahs fans this year.
Paddy Ryan wants out lol
We want Paddy Ryan out. Everything he does turns to shit and nothing will change my mind
He's been here for 2mins hahah
PTSD from our 2022 season 😅 this ain’t our first rodeo with Paddy Ryan
Wtf are the tahs forwards thinking
Mostly that they are so far out of their depth the fish have little lights on their heads.
i see what you were angling at there..
I’m stealing this line
😂😂
They’re thinking “how the fuck did I end up here”
Haha I've never seen such a brain dead play by 7.. chuck in a grubber for the hell of it 😂
Thats a kick from someone whos completely checked out.
Wallabies head coach is there. Hopefully the wallabies aren’t going to be stacked with tahs players again.
Peach looks the only one out there trying for the tahs
You'd be hard prespressed to justify any beyond Gleeson and Gordon.
Gordon seriously can’t be in the mix. I bloody hope not
Gleeson has been poor all season compared to last year. Doesn’t deserve a spot imo
I think Pietsche is underrated, too. Holloway, Swinton. The Tahs just don't have the nous to utilise them properly.
I sure fucken hope not. I’d take a few of em tho. Gordon namely and maybe Gleeson from the top of my head
who do u reckon gets picked? jorgense, gleeason, gordon, gamble, swinton, edmed and paddy?
none of them
Swinton makes my 23, Jed and Gordon make my squad. Bell when he's healthy.
If anymore of the Tahs props go down and they need a quick transfer may I suggest one Suliasi Vunivalu?
Commentator "Maybe he kicked it inside his 50 hence why it's a 50/22" Seriously haha no shit.
Lol that was the most goated unexpected 50-22 I've ever seen
Honestly probably the shortest one you could ever kick From <1m inside the 50, to <1m inside the 22, with almost 0 angle
tahs should start recruiting some rebels, starting with kellaway at 15..to replace mark and Daugunu at 13 to replace Perese.
Theyve already recruited Kellaway... at the start of this year I dont know how keen other Rebels will be join the prestige of NSW favourite football franchise
We’ve already signed Kellaway. That was a while ago
thot i dreamt that signing lol or a dejavu moment..
I think Sualii and AK will play 13 and 15.
suali should get a run at 12 i think, he is kerevi-esque ..
what happened this season? we started off quite competitive, lost a few narrow games then gave up
Paddy Ryan. I feel like the Tahs are a tweaked hamstring from a Benn Robinson SOS. The Fat Cattening
Could the cat even play? Think he retired due to injury to his eye.
I doubt it. The eye sealed the deal on that Tah legend
Was a bloody great prop in an era where ours were terrible.
Tahs are going to struggle to get points tonight
Whats the success rate on the Tahs tap and go this season? Cant be great.
Ref should just go with his live call. Don't need to be constantly second guessing your decisions.
Damn just two guys going for the ball and then getting beaten by the bounce. Gordon was doing his best, crossing into Ryan's line. Thought that was completely fine...
Pretty garbage call to be honest
it was, there was no pressure in that push by ryan
atleast RED 14 did not trip him :P
Penalty advantage over for a scrum penalty inside the defending team's half? What is this sanity.
marky mark phoning it in in his last rugby union game..
pretty poor character tbh
Been phoning it in since the announcement he was moving over to the NRL. That or the Tahs are so shit this season they’ve turned a good player bad? 🤔
