And thank god they didn't. Specific calls aside, I thought it was great how little time was spent with the TMO - quick and decisive calls. Can't recall who was up in the box, but he was making calls and sending them down quickly (e.g. the Brumbies' disallowed try and the confusion and repeated...

Dru was the only mention Petatia got I think. I thought he played a solid game as well. We got the usual from him; some good carries, strong defence, a couple fumbles, and some impressive plays in the air. I can't get over his likeness to Folau when going for the high ball - just a pure athlete...

Vision would’ve been obscured by Iona’s body as it’s the left hand - don’t understand why the TMO didn’t call it out

Good game. Very unfortunate that it will have a dark cloud over it with that holding back

Not even subtle. Unbelievable it doesn’t get a look

Surely they don’t need to be warned that multiple penalties in a row on the line is approaching card territory?

He literally tackled Wilson from behind. It was absolutely cynical and needed to go

Cynical

Did you see the smirk on his face after?

I feel it was a bit more hit and miss last year. Obviously still did it when had the chance, but the accuracy wasn’t always there

Seems like Paisami’s kicking accuracy has really improved - that bomb and the grubber earlier were pretty spot on

The Brumbies possibly have more of a 'traditional' (dare we say boring?) system in the way they go about their game, but the Reds in recent weeks have shown just how utilitarian their game has become, with numerous players slotting into roles that don't necessarily align with the number on their...

Brums need to walk away with this one. Reds by 3

Isaac Henry’s back at training in the Reds’ socials. Maybe one more week to go until he’s available for selection?

As with the players, the referees all review their performances and key decisions with their higher ups and peers each week following a match. These are professionals who put in a hell of a lot of work. Just because they aren’t getting benched for weeks or hanged in the streets following a...

I thought Petaia would've been higher on that list than Henry. What was his injury/time unavailable last year? I don't recall...

I would rather have him on the park for 60min than on the sidelines for 80min.

Yeah, he's making me eat my words from last week. Busy without being frantic is hitting the nail on the head. Glad to see it, and looking forward to the battle between him and Jeans

It’s great to have a rugby tragic writing about the game - although he’s just recently moved to the Townsville Bulletin as their sports editor, so not sure what that means for his coverage

In my view, one of Thorn's biggest achievements as a coach has been the amount of depth and versatility he's been able to bring to build within the squad - by both swapping players in/out of the 23 and shuffling positions. The fact that we've been winning games with a pretty significant injury...
