RD 11: Rebels v Blues

[Brumby Runner]

And then he goes one on one against Tupou and scores. Not hard to beat a prop in open field play but where was the fullback in the defensive line? Oh yes, in near the tight and falling over himself without having any influence.

We must be getting close to a warning and / or card are we?

Kellaway doesn't make mistakes..

 

[Brumby Runner]

Just to be clear, I am not saying he is poor or not deserving of a Wallabies spot. I am pointing out that he does make mistakes in the fullback spot and that his better position is on the wing. All of the good stuff he has done tonight, he could have done (and possibly more) playing on the wing.

You guys make sticking with the thread through the game unpleasant. Thanks.

 

[Shiggins]

What's the point of the TMO now days ? Just pick up tackles that look sus ? Taleas first try the ball was knocked on by the blues in the tackle.

 

[Tomikin]

FFS ...

Really liking Lancaster - rips into the tough stuff and not afraid of contact

What makes it extra funny though is that Kellaway has been excellent tonight.

 

[Tomikin]

What the fuck happened there

Look like he slipped

you know how the players have a little pocket in their jerseys between their shoulder blades for that GPS tracking chip?

the brumbies supporter jerseys have that pocket on the shoulder.

Kellaway has been excellent. Still my Wallaby fullback. Canham has had a great game too. Very dynamic.

A little frustrating this game. Rebels doing a lot so well but just not finishing off their opportunities. Credit to the Blues.

Dru, just like so many posters make other threads unpleasant with the continual carping about Tom Wright. It is legitimate to point out where there are weaknesses in Kellaway's game tonight, just as it is to acknowledge his strengths which I have done. Anyone saying he has been excellent at fullback tonight is sadly mistaken.

 

[KevinO]

Kellaway was playing in the centers for most of that game, stop talking about FB when Rebels had lost all centers

 

[Rebel man]

Angus Gardner was a disgrace today

 

[LeCheese]

Despite the scoreline, it seemed like the Rebels turned up to play today. Still being let down by too many mistakes and not being able to execute, but there was a level of commitment across the board which I don't think has been seen in a minute.

 

[Upthenuts]

good close physical game, we dont seem to be missing christie, good depth

 

[Scooter]

Unfortunately didn't take advantage of extra man.

With 6 or 7 minutes to go and an attacking scrum I thought we could pinch the game (or at the least a losing BP). Can't believe score blew out like it did.

 

[Shiggins]

Blues try 56 min. Tackled short and just keeps driving the legs and goes over. Unlucky call for rebels under a lot of pressure though.
