Bulls v Reds, Rd 9 Sunday 12 April 2015

[Tomikin]

Turner Misses 10 - 5 Bulls

 

[Tomikin]

Aerial ping pong for a bit. Some how the Reds knock it on straight to Spies who scores under the posts.

15 - 5 Bulls kick to come..

 

[Tangawizi]

Oh shit. 17-5. Bulls almost scoring at a point per minute.

 

[Tomikin]

Reds lose the 2nd lineout on their throw. Comes out wide, Frisby goes for an intercept (the kick earlier was successful) 17 - 5 Bulls

 

[Tomikin]

Reds win the Lineout against the throw (Simmions) do not much then Genia kicks it over the top and out in goal.. pretty poor option..

 

[Tomikin]

Big Scrum Reds but the Bulls still get it out, down in the corner a knock on but back for an offside from Gill.

 

[Tomikin]

For someone who played AFL , I havent seen Hunt be under one of the up and unders.. yet

 

[Tangawizi]

Reds failing to get to the gain line fairly regularly in attack.

And then kick it away.

 

[Tomikin]

Urrghh and I got distracted by paint drying and missed the last bit of play.. but nothing changed 17 - 5 ..

 

[Tomikin]

Maul from Bulls, swing it wide, .. Ref blows a Forward Pass ... Red's lucky could have been a try

 

[Tangawizi]

Scrum penalty reds but we turn down a kickable 3

 

[Tangawizi]

And lose 30m in possession, turn it over & Bulls race the 70m for a try.

Looked like a knock on to me, TMO didn't think so.

Fark

 

[Tomikin]

Bulls marching up the field with the Reds with the ball .. Probably 30 meters then the Reds drop it and the Bulls are in.. Waiting for the TMO thing - Try 23 - 5 kick to come.

Bulls should let the Reds attack more often, they make great yards down the park.

 

[Tomikin]

So kick off and the Reds having a new tactic of not trying to tackle the player with the ball.. But the Bulls hot on attack throw a line ball to a Fat guy from the front row and he drops it, Reds scrum..

One thing to say the Reds are on top at the scrums.. But it seems there massive pushes before the balls in. .

 

[Tangawizi]

Frisby either needs to play flatter or switch with Hunt at half-time.

 

[Tomikin]

Turner Kicks for the corner great kick win the line out.. Few phase.. Hunt grubber Bulls clear down field.

 

[Tomikin]

Bit of good play from the Reds attacking.. The Bulls do something to give away the pen, Scrum for Reds

 

[Tomikin]

Bulls dominate the scrum, tight head.. and now we are at oranges.

 

[Tangawizi]

Reds previously dominant scrum somehow gets munched on half-time and gives up their own feed 10m out from Bulls line. Wtf.

 

[Tangawizi]

The try Reds did score looked like Frisby's pass floated couple metres forward but we'll take it.

It's depressing to watch. At halftime most Reds fans probably dreaming of a comeback but realistically just hoping we keep them under 50.
