Super 15 2011

[Quaggas]

Crusaders, but both impressive teams.

Sold out in 45 minutes...did you get through HJ?

No mate.

I'm not a Reds fanatic (bit of a bandwagon hopper actually! ) so will be content to watch the game at home on Foxtel. That said, it's disappointing to miss out. I hope everyone who has supported the boys in their tough times managed to get a ticket.

Hope you have a good time though. You must be pumped. It's just a great story, their journey over the last two years.

Credit to Qld rugby too for resisting the temptation to massively jack up ticket prices for the Final. As I understand it, prices were largely the same as the regular season, with a family of four for example able to watch the game for under $100.

This stands in sharp contrast to the Brisbane Roar earlier this year.

Unluck mate, will get my cheer on on your behalf.

Bandwagon hoppers more than welcome - Get a membership for 2012 so you don't miss out on next years GF

They have put the prices up slightly but not massively as you said...regular season paltinum was $60 i think...$75 for the final

No real surprises in the line-ups for either side there. I imagine the Reds will be very pleased to have Samo able to play after he was substituted early last week with an injury.

 

[TT Boy]

Saders.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Apologies for missing the last few weeks of tipping. I've been on holiday and forgot about it. Did my tips on Superbru, so if you're concerned; go by those. Midtable obscurity beckons either way I suspect.

Crusaders for the final.

who are you tipping?

 

[Somerset]

Crusaders.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Reds.

Their season IMHO. Certainly wouldn't begrudge the Crusaders another title tho.

 

[ripper868]

35 hours...nervous as hell.

 

[Hurricane]

Starting soon.

 

[Burgey]

Really looking forward to this. Both teams great to watch.

 

[Hurricane]

Genia and the Reds are playing nervous at the start

 

[Hurricane]

Genia settling now.

 

[Hurricane]

Reds scrum is struggling

 

[Burgey]

Big effort by Luke Burt to back up from a MOTM performance for Parra last night to play No. 10 for the Reds

 

[Hurricane]

DC says I am the man with that try.

edit - Crusaders needed that try - as the crowd was starting to get intimidating.

 

[Athlai]

Thought Sonny had pulled off a master stroke from that kick, would've been a great catch.

Carter

What a try.
