Reds v Force 7pm Sat 29th March, Rd 7

[Shiggins]

I think the force win that game if potter doesn't kick that ball. One poor decision

 

[Derpus]

Get bent you lemon

Les Kiss could coach a bunch of dung beetles to win a rugby game.

Chooo chooooo

Careful or youll lose him to the Wallabies

 

[Equalizer]

Ref took care of the Reds at the end..

 

[Shiggins]

Okeef needs to sit on the bench for a bit. He was pretty average again. At least it wasn't massively one sided.

Fines mistake worse for me.

 

[Mr Pilfer]

Knock on my arse
2 shockers in a row from this ref and they reckon he is gonna get a lions test, surely not

 

[Shiggins]

That was a big game for the force. If we beat the reds at home it wouldn't of mattered as much. 9 line out steals from the force, don't think I've ever seen that. Or at least for a long time.

Force won 80% of the reds lineouts and the reds had two yellow cards and were missing key players

If the force were good enough they’d have closed it out earlier

The penalty ? Fair call. Wouldn't of been an issue if potter doesn't kick that ball though

 

[Strewthcobber]

Turning point was Donaldson's error kicking out on the full from the lineout outside the 22m.

Thought the Reds managed field position pretty well over the last 15m despite a disaster of a lineout. That was the difference

I agree. Force didn't hold the ball enough in the second half and made some poor mistakes.

That wasn't an error though ? The hooker was 1m inside the 22 where he was throwing it from. Not sure why it was called ? Unless the liney let horton move 2m from where he was supposed to be

 

[PhilClinton]

Side note - Lynagh the clear preferred flyhalf now. HMP only 7mins last week and no time this week.

Will be interesting if he sticks around.

 

[Shiggins]

Not sure if any reds fans noticed how good Marley Pearse is getting with ball in hand. He is always getting over the advantage line. Could have a bright future.

The touchy's mark was outside the 22m. Horton took a big step to the left before he threw it in

But as a prop, his scrums gave away about 5 penalties

Gotta think he won’t. Natural cap pressures will hit the Reds when you look at the piggies.

Letting a guy like HMP who will have interest walk is probable. Think the Brums would be sniffing around as well as being an upgrade at the Force in place of Burey.

 

[PhilClinton]

Anyone got a crowd?

The Gabba looks sold out.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Rugby fans… Leather soles on the wet cement = HIA

 

[Shiggins]

Mark was outside the 22. That's real dumb from Donaldson to not be aware of that. Probably loses them the game

Doesn't help when they let the hooker throw the ball from 1m plus inside the 22
