FORCE v Rebels - Friday 8 April, HBF Park

[SteveWA]

Ref loves a penalty

Only against the Force.

 

[Scooter]

Rebels continuing from last week…can’t believe how suddenly Tuttle looks ok - big turnaround for him since last week

Agree, when Tuttle was coming off the bench he looked bog average.

Fuck boys pull your finger out. This is ordinary

 

[Scooter]

Congratulations to Matt To'omua who is the second player to score 300 points for Melbourne Rebels. (Reece Hodge 389).

 

[Scooter]

Can someone tell me why the Rebels go worse when we have a 15 v 14 advantage then we do when it is 15 v 15?

 

[SteveWA]

You’ve got 16 to 14

 

[D-Box]

Why when the rebels 2 is up first do the force get penalized at the scrum?

 

[Lightblue]

Scrum penalties are crap!

 

[Lightblue]

He’s killing the game this ref..

 

[Shiggins]

Mate what do these refs have against the force.
At the 21 minute mark the ball is illegally stripped off the force. Then knocked on. Then a forward pass and nothing gets called. Force get the ball back then Have a marginal call go against them

I am a Rebels fan, but agree there was at least a Rebels knock on and forward pass in that passage of play.

he sure is

 

[Shiggins]

Koteka held in the ruck and gets yellow carded for a weak penalty

He’s on commission... the more penalties he awards, the money he makes!!

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

We are getting murdered at the breakdown

 

[Shiggins]

Weakest set of penalties against the force but rebels have lazy running, off feet at breakdown, offside. No penaltys.

 

[Shiggins]

Force players again get on the front foot. Players getting tackled off the ball. No penalties

 

[Shiggins]

Not stoked with the ref however the force scrum and lineout is terrible. Need to get that right in the second half to be competitive.
