          Apart from 2 and 10 that would be their strongest 15 wouldn’t it?

              @Chris Bryn Hall with many consecutive starts this season, good for him he seems like a nice guy judging by his podcast🙂

                @Crucial Joe Moody, Jack Goodhue and maybe Fletcher Newell would be in their strongest XV, too.

                    Ricky Jackson must have leapfrogged Shilo Klein since that red card. Jackson consistently getting picked over Klein.

                          A bit of a weird one isn't it - in all likelihood a dress rehearsal before the quarterfinal next week between the same two teams.

                          I thought Reds might rest Tate but they are obviously still eyeing an upset to try and jump up the ladder.

                            For me 3/4 changes and it would be the strongest XV allowing for no Moody.

                            Goodhue > Ennor
                            Taylor > McAlister
                            Mounga > Burke.

                            Maybe Newell > Jager

                              I'm not sure it's in Thorns head the idea of freshening up players.

                                Perhaps Thorn thinks they'd have better luck making the semis against the Brumbies or Chiefs? They can't get into the top four and the way they've been playing this year, they can't play for 80mins anyway.

                                      Best SH ref with this fixture. Reds really want to grab a bonus point from this at the very least. Crusaders to secure home semi. All to play for.

                                            Bonus point to Reds would not make any difference to them. Would put them on 36 points. Two teams either side are Tahs on 37 and Clan on 22.

                                                Yep - I was looking at the Tahs' points.

                                                Meanwhile the Reds get a 50:22 from an aimless Havili kick.

                                                  And also, does not seem very likely.

                                                      The laws should be amended so if a halfback mistakes himself for an enforcer you can give them a good smacking.

                                                          Pushing some 50/50 passes in that half.
                                                          And some aimless kicking
                                                          Very much playing within themselves not showing too much for next week.
                                                          George Bower is destroying the Reds TH time and time again.

Stick your arm out to try and save your neck and the tackler is often given a yellow for what should clearly be a red card.
