Force vs Reds - S15 Round 12 - 4 May 2013

[Slim 293]

Jacobs? Who the f is Jacobs?

He was the Tahs' starting outside centre back in 2008 before Rob Horne came onto the scene.........

 

[Brumby Runner]

I expect the Reds to have a fairly easy win. I am not a fan of the Force (nor Rebels') scrum. The Force this week appear to be stronger in the front row, but they are particularly weak in the locks imo and the backrow is decidedly overrated. Where's Cottrill? And I have to say that Browm has been going better lately than he has for a long time.

I also don't understand Foley continuing to ignore CTM. Starting to look like there might be some behind-the-scenes issues as suggested above.

Why did CTM league career stall?

 

[Ruggo]

Easy to pass judgement on team selections but I guess we need to see what goes on, on the training paddock to understand how they are justified. Some blokes may just not be putting in outside of game day.

Nervous as hell over this game.

 

[Jets]

The other thing is that some players and coaches just don't work together. Foley might not see in CTM things he wants in his outside backs.

 

[Mr Doug]

C'mon the Reds!

 

[Mr Doug]

Very civilised tonight, as we have live coverage on ABC 612 Radio, Brisbane.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

What a surprise. "Greg Martin gives it a thumbs up" says Foxtel

"I reckon you should get two points for going close" says Marto when the TMO turns it down.

What a complete drongo.

 

[qwerty51]

Marto "I reckon you should get 2 points if you go close to scoring one"

At his best.

 

[Mr Doug]

Big screen replays not working at ground according to radio commentators!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The visuals on the big screen are OK at Stadium Jarse.

Problem with the sound from the big screen.
There is a whining moronic clown sound coming from the speakers from time to time.

 

[Mr Doug]

G'day Mr Jarse, your jovial Scottish uncle sends his regards. Looking a bit pale lately, but still fit enough to stay up for the match!

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Great tackle from Tessmann.

& now the Badger in full flight!

 

[No4918]

Can the Force defend like this for 80?

 

[ACT Crusader]

Some very solid defence from the Force so far. Good numbers to the collisions, putting enough pressure on the ball to not give away penalties, and not missing many tackles.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Bloody hell. The footy is just getting better and better this weekend. Why would you want to watch Rugby lite?

 

[ACT Crusader]

Good reorganisation on that maul by the Force, but better defensive work by the Reds

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Almighty tackle from Gill! Loving the physical stuff of this game. As I did the defensive effort of the Highlanders in the last game.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

21 minutes gone and the first points go to the Home team.

Force 3 Red 0

This is going to be another tough game and like most of the rest in this round could go to the wire.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

I love how Marto says SNK shouldnt have passed out the back like that, if it was Quade he'd probably say something more like "hey thats just the way he plays, he takes risks, it didnt come off but thats just him".
