Battle of the Blood Red: Lions v Queensland Reds 8th June 2013

[qwerty51]

IRB player of the year 2012 boots a PK

Please don't remember us of that travesty.

Quade error rate off the charts only 25 in.

 

[Ash]

Warburton comes around the side and takes out the halfback.

Great kick from Cooper finds touch this time, 25 out. Looked harsh from the AR.

Over throw from Hanson, Lions counter to 40m out before being forced out.

 

[Ash]

Reds set piece is being soundly dominated.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

For the love of God don't let Farrell go in for a try.

 

[Ash]

Reds need to clear, instead of trying to run the ball.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

QC (Quade Cooper) needs to stop going for the miracle ball with every touch.

Stop running sideways.

 

[Ted S Hunter]

There is no doubt quads cooper can attack but dear god he needs to pick his times a bit better. He un-dose all of his good work with stupid passes inside his 22. On a brighter note, shite Morohan can go!

 

[qwerty51]

Reds look stuffed already.

 

[Ash]

Beau gets a penalty for holding on against Hogg.

Reds hold on.

Cooper taps.

Doesn't trust the Reds lineout.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

For the love of God don't let Farrell go in for a try.

Is Ferrell the new Aston?

 

[Ted S Hunter]

Another thing that is pretty interesting out of this is that the lions seem really happy not to use their back for anyone. The centers haven't touched the ball.

 

[Pedrolicus]

The ref seems distracted. There are a lot of times where something happens and he looks away like he didn't see it.

 

[FrankLind]

QCs errors playing into deans hands

Or vindicating his selection ability in the first place.

 

[Ash]

Poor pass from Anae, Frisby chips, AWH claims it. Reds on attack.

 

[Ash]

At least Cooper's taking the ball into contact and ruck work has improved.

 

[ACR]

Cooper enters his first ruck, hurts himself.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Is Ferrell the new Aston?

Hmmmm. He's heading in that direction. Is he on the same level as Aston, not yet me thinks.

 

[Ash]

Nice spew from Gray there, by the looks.

 

[qwerty51]

Easy kick missed. costly..

 

[Ash]

That may come back to haunt the Reds.

Never worked out why teams let guys who were just getting attention kick, especially an enigmatic one like Cooper.
