G&GR Tahs Player of the Match (v Reds)

[RugbyReg]

Ok, so we're off. Give me your 3-2-1s for the Tahs (and Tahs players only). 3 being the best, 2 being for 2nd best and 1 being for 3rd best.

No combined, no "daylight" and no "the ref" ok? ok.

This'll be a struggle. I'll go with...

3. Robinson
2. Burgess
1. Mitchell

Anesi was particularly poor I thought. His 'counter-attacking' was woeful. I think I'd prefer any of Turner, Mitchell, Beale or Barnes at 15. It'd be good to give Betham or Nadolo a run on the wing.

Burgess still plays too lateral for me, fucks about at the base of the ruck for too long and often takes 2-3 steps before delivering an average pass.

Turner gets fuck all of stuffing up that try that would have probably put a totally different tone to the game.

Anese gets fuck all for doing for fuck all. I dont think the Tahs gave found their fullback yet.

They were playing for the Reds. Unfortunately, they lost :'(

 

[Gagger]

3 - Baxter - Dominated Daley
2 - TPN - work rate
1 - Palu - for the big play when it counted

That was hard though

Burgess's running around the edges was good but his impression of Matt Dawson at the back of rucks is driving me fucking mental. Has forgotten what his USP was

Agreed, but did you see him smoke Ioane twice?

3 Nau
2 Baxter for putting the wonder child back in his place,
1 Palu

Special mention for Burgess (passed well and created more gaps than the rest of the side put together, Turner's pace, the reserves and the whole team's commitment and belief to come back

A bit hard on Turner both chances were chances because of his pace, no other wings in Aus could have got near the line, let alone "bomb" a try.

 

[Langthorne]

Ioane looked good a 13 last season, but out of place on the wing. This is one area I think the coach got wrong - Ioane should be 13 for the Reds for sure.
