Guildford to start for Tahs v Reds

mariner4life

If the tahs don't walk this questions should be asked. A Reds team full of not-quite or who-the fuck? players, with shit halves, coached by a coach with a proven losing record, should not pose a problem for a team with finals aspirations.

And that is the general consensus among the logical. 
 
But even at their shittest, the Reds pulled off a couple of wins against us that should never have happened.
 
I've got faith in Gibson - nearly as much as Cheika - and think he'll earn even more of my trust based on the manner of our game play.
 
 
Also looking forward to Jed Holloway finally getting a run at his preferred position for the Tahs. Only 23, 195cm, 116kg and could be a long-term option as a genuine 8. Decent turn of pace as well. Been around for a couple of years but Palu going offshore has created this opportunity. Will have Dennis and Hooper for support in the back row, along with Mumm, Skelton, and TPN to shoulder a lot of the work up front.
 
One thing is for sure: we've got a shitload of ball-carrying in that pack.

The Tahs are eminently capable of being brought down to the level of their opposition.

If the Tahs can manage Guildford's serious issues where every single other team has 'failed', then hats off to them.

I see the Guildford-hate brigade is let loose again? Geez, get over it guys. Mental illness is a bitch.

So is getting drunk and bashing old men. Mental illness might be a reason but it shouldn't be an excuse.

Glath

Wow. Never would have picked Beale to make that tackle.

bbarcs

Waratahs putting up an early lead. 
Need the win and the Sharks to win by 10 or more to complete my multi so I'm paying attention

Glath

Looking like safe money so far. :yes:

NTA

Reds coming back a little judging by the online feed, but they've got RG for a coach so ....

Glath

Tahs were great in the first half, but just seemed to switch off at half time (Carrarro-Beale magic aside.) Scrum will be a concern.

Watching replay now. Waratahs win the game with a combined total of 20 minutes of good play. 
Reds looked better at set piece. But I didn't like the scrum selections from Gibson anyway. 
Apparently Benn Robinson broke his nose so won't play this week against the Ponies. 
Not that it matters - neither of these teams will beat the Ponies based on last night.

I missed the game, but see Goromaru scored some points off the bench, which no doubt means that all TV shows will be fellating him repeatedly for the next week. So, people who watched, was he any good?

Little impact from what I saw. The Waratahs seemed to just go through the motions once they got to an early 20-0 lead. Glad we let Ta'avao go from the Blues. Awful scrummager.
