Drua v Waratahs Rd 10 Sat 19 April, 12.05PM, Lautoka

[Thalium]

Fully expect the mini game on Stan to have the Benny hill theme music

 

[Super Hooper]

At least the Fijians didn't score 50 points against our back-up forwards pack

 

[Heavyd]

So instead of walking away with a crucial bonus point that brain explosion means they get nothing.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

 

[Dan54]

There’s no offside in goal

Yes there is



10.2 A player can be offside anywhere in the playing area. The in goal is part of the playing area!!

I guess crucial for other sides as well hoping for a round 1 of finals bye if they got the Tahs.

Starting to think it should be 1st straight through to GF and 2nd v 3rd in a GF qualifier. Who cares below that.

 

[Mick The Munch]

Feel for DC, he would've done better

 

[Dan54]

What is it about on the road with the Tahs? They genuinely looked a class outfit last week, and then a preformance like this. Were the Drua just better than they seem? I didn't catch whole game so would be interested to hear what exactly happened.

Yep could wear that too mate, but I suspect that supporters of 4th to 6th may disagree?

Dan is... correct.

Hardly… There’s 13 forwards in matchday, and 3 were rested… one of which had been relegated to the bench in recent weeks

To be fair, though, Bell is the only bloke who can tight five with any respectability. Kailea has been pretty disappointing.

Looks like offside in-goal also applies in loig so it's not like JAS wouldn't have known.

Certainly looked to be a Drua knock-on before it fell to him.

 

[rugboy]

The Stats suggest the Tahs were lucky to be hanging on to a bonus point in the 79th minute

To be honest, I wouldn't be hard on JAS anyway, he either let them score or touched it down, I think most of players would of done same.

 

[wamberal99]

Shot by Gleeson. He’s really stepped up this year. A 1-2 punch with Valetini & Gleeson for the Wallabies this year looks a cracking option to me.

Tizzano?

Absolutely but I'm sure you'll remember SBW batting the ball dead thinking he was OK to do it as it's OK in loig. In a damned if I do, damned if I don't situation so took the risk as any of us would.

 

[Derpus]

Shouldn't have sent JAS to the Waratahs. Did he receive a pass in space once all game?

Could've gone Brumbies and built a partnership with Ikitau leading into the Lions.

Nice idea. Wonder if he’d say fuck that like Crichton did when told it’d be the Force if he came over.
