@ grootblousmile:
See, since I’m back our team has been winning. You must shout for them man. How do you expect them to win if they can’t hear you! Come on Farce!!!
33 @ The_Young_Turk:
You should never have left in the first place!
Fark, Rebels get a penalty on their own side of halfway, then the stupid Farce back chats the ref and get marched 10…. not the bloody thing is kickable
Hits the upright… misses
Hooter goes… Rebels get their lineout
Lemoenetyd
Morning Everyone.
Well my bru is just rubbish this year. Just can’t get the picks right. Really thought the Blues were going to win this one. Just to see the Canes pipped them by one point. Never watched the game so have no idea how it went. Now turn the tv on to see the Rebels are in the lead by 12 here.
Come on the Force, just for my bru win this damn one………hehehe.
This game must just continue down the path of the last match – Force must come back strong in the second half, only to get pipped at the final whistle by the rabble rousers, preferably by 7 for my Bru
I see the mighty Tapper has the Farce to win by 10. The god of RT superbru can’t possibly be wrong, so I’m still feeling confident…
41 @ The_Young_Turk:
I picked the Farce by 5…. but I would not bet against Tapper Dude!
39 @ Puma:

2 Nd Half ON!
Force tighthead
39 @ Puma,
I am with you on that! My Bru is so warped now, I will likely never right it again!!
Come on Farce! Tapper be with you!
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy Alfi Mafi… for the Farce
Rebels 24 / 19 Farce
Yessssss!!! And Tapper shows his powers!
Rebels by 2 still……blow the final whistle NOW please!!!!!
5 Points in it now… I need exactly 10 more from the Farce
Farce are really klapping the Rubbles now….
@ Pietman:
By 5, I mean. My pick exactly….but penalty, so yes, by 2 then….
HKG, Tapper’s Curse coming into play big time now…..
Rebels 24 / 22 Farce
Rebels penalty on Halfway
@ Pietman:
Thou betteth against the mighty Tapper at your own risk. You face being condemned to superbru perdition if you carry on in this vain!
Rebels penalty, tackler not rolling away.
