And here come the Reds....

Well - glad to see Reds made it to top of Aust conference where they undoubtedly should be...

QC out for a week will hurt the Reds but with Tapuai back have the numbers to put together a good enough backline. 

Kaplan as ref will be key for Sharks - I have no doubt.

Reds played very well vs Tahs this week and if can bring it the next couple of weeks I think have enough to win this comp..... again...

The scenario is that winner of shawwks and reds play cheifs and crusaders play stomers - as bulls dont have a chance....

As the crusaders can travel and score points there is a realistic chance that reds v crusaders could be the GF again.... and at suncorp. Thats right you heard it here first....

GO REDS!!! 

Anybody but please as long as the Reds don't win again.............

Both the Reds and Sharks have hit the top of their game at the right time, one couldn't ask for better timing. I can't  split the two teams but I expect it will be a close encounter.

Reds have lost Quade Pooper...big blow, Sharks have lost Frans Steyn, even bigger blow. So we even now....BTW, where the hell have you been all this time redneck?

@ green - hmmm sharks got kaplan but....

Ive been around waiting for Reds to kick into gear.......... now as with the REds Im back....

Yo Redsman...

QUick pop quiz:

How many games have the Reds won this season without QC?

the reds are hitting there straps at the right time due to the injured players coming back. same can be said for the sharks with franna back at the helm. the reds are lucky that the rubbish conference system is around seeing that if there points are the least. that being said i really hope the conference system gets scrapped. its utter B U L L T W A N G

the reds are always a factor with there attacking pattern. it will be a good game. might be better than the bulls game. i reckon they might be to a hiding to nothing.

Sharkies/Reds game should be a cracker.  I am backing the Sharkies to win.

As for the Bulle - will they pitch. I hope Flip is back for them as their pack needs some grunt. At their best they can take it too the crusties. Main problem is their scrum and poor record overseas. Wonder if Kruger will start.  If Wepener is a stronger scrummager start with him as well.

if the bulls pitch up and think it 1980 again and try to out kick the saders then they will be standing under the polls for the whole of saterday. if they pitch and force the saders to defend then they are at least not feeding the attacking machine of the saders. starve them of the ball and run at them and then maybe they have a chance.

i do hope they win but i reckon the reds game wil be more of a rugby match. that being said with the sharks these days one never quite know who will pitch up at the park
