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

[Major Tom]

Who are they missing ? Mcreight, Wilson, Liam Wright

Faesler mate. You know, the incumbent wallabies hooker. Certainly helped your lineout. No nongoor as well. And hunter a late scratching.

 

[Shiggins]

Lineout was 1m inside the 22. Terrible decision by the ref.

I think the ref said it was outside and Horton moved into the 22 to throw it. The touchie shouldn't have let him move that much.

 

[Equalizer]

I don't think the Force were the better team. They were not dangerous with the ball in hand, they had one freak try and two from tight forward play. The Reds back outplayed them completely.

The Force absolutely destroyed the Reds lineout and did nothing with this advantage. By being so effective at the lineout, it meant the Reds dominance in the scrum was wasted as the Force would pinch it back at the lineout.

BOK should have sent one of the Force players before Bryant was held up. There were so many consecutive penalties to the point where it was cynical.

Lynagh had close to a perfect game and that offload was so bloody good.

Khalni backed up with another solid performance and it was great seeing him being so vocal around the park.

Between Lonergen, Wilson and Khalni, I really cannot see how you take White as the third scrum half. Outside of a couple of bombs he was a passenger.

I was nervous seeing Hunter scratched just before kick off but Dre stepped up once again. Bloody incredible his journey considering he was playing QPR last season.

Yep the Reda missed lineout and Lynagh try was all planned. How brilliant yet anything Force was just a fluke. Yep.Australian rugby has a tough task to accept any team outside of NSW, QLD.and ACT.being successful. It just not tennis old boy!

I think the calls and execution from the locks was the problem. Not just the throw. I think BPA is technically the incumbent wallabies hooker

I rate Wilson massively. He is worth points in any game

Another one for the rule junkies. Does it matter where the ref says it should have been thrown from or where it actually was thrown from?

Mate the amount of people on here that call me a one eyed force supporter yet talk so much shit on their side is unreal. I guess it's all part of it though. You're one eyed, no you're one eyed. Blah blah

No idea tbh. I would think it's from where the ref said it was as that's the point the ball was out. And in just guessing that's what happened. I didn't here where he said the mark was. I'm trusting the reds supporters coz im a good bloke

They were doing that all game though, kind of Hortons own fault and correct call for BOK to bring it back once it went on in full

I think the calls and execution from the locks was the problem. Not just the throw.

100%
I don’t think there was much wrong with that throws, the calls and execution by jumpers and lifters was all messed up. You could see them trying to figure it out walking into the lineout.

 

[Major Tom]

Rain during the game didn’t stop 45k for the Broncos v Dolphins.

A lot went to the lions mate.

This has been covered. Watch the reply. The mark is outside the 22 Horton ignores the touch judge who clearly points this out to him and steps back inside the 22 to throw the lineout.

It was a poor decision - but not by BOK.

To be fair I think, from what I’ve seen, that you’re comments this game has been pretty measured and levelled

Is it hard to walk straight with that massive chip on your shoulder???

It's almost disappointing

Faessler started pretty much every game he was fit in last year

Didn't used to be. I accept that. Used to get way to pumped up and still do at times. Usually I would be on here whinging like a baby about the last play and why was a knock on called when they didn't knock it on. The force had plenty of chances to win that game. They didn't take advantage.

What matters is where the mark of touch is made.

In this case its way outside the 22m. The Force hooker then ignores the AR several times and makes his own line inside the 22m.

Strictly, when the Force hooker throws it in away from the mark of touch, it should be given to the Reds with an option of scrum or lineout

. But every ref will let this go in the interests of having a game occasionally break out.

Yeh I'm just playing because I think he started the last test. BPA is good but needs to prove himself more. We have a few players in Aus like that who get games from past form or like JOS from his league form.

Probably should have awarded a free kick to the reds then anyway. I agree with that.

For what it’s worth I liked the old you - always good for a laugh - but prefer this version. We all have tinted glasses on and I love that you get so into it. But having a bit of balance is a good thing IMO and I don’t think your posts have lost any of their entertainment value.
