Hurricanes v Reds Sat 23rd April

[Derpus]

It will be, but I firmly believe it’s a teeth gritting exercise we need to go through for the next few years, and will bear fruit eventually i.e. lifting Bill in 2027.

Delusional.

Paisami can run through Aussie defenses but not against the Kiwis ones

Umaga Jensen shut him down surprisingly easily.

And yet PUJ cant get a look in the AB's setup because zero impact dross like Ennor, Havili and Tupaea are incumbents. FFS.

Not sure this is the right thread but I was watching the Reds vs canes on Stan and went for refreshments and noticed the score on free to air where my wife was watching was different. I looked at the time clock and it was at 67 mins. When I got back to watch Stan it was at 59 mins. Why do we pay to be behind FTA?

You sure you hadn't paused your stan at some point and fallen behind or started it not live?

watching aussie teams play against the kiwis is just dire... next 8 weeks is going to be painful for the code in Australia

Master plan from the Force is to produce a Covid sick note for the next 6 weeks and then ask to split the points.

If we don’t go thru games like this we don’t improve. Reds really should of won by 10, just didn’t know how to do it. Fraser was superb , just missed it a couple of times for turnovers. A few of our players just weren’t quite up to it. Frustrating game last 20

 

[Marce]

Umaga Jensen shut him down surprisingly easily.

He's one dimensional. If he can't win the physical battle is an easy prey for defenses like these

 

[dillyboy]

Mate when there’s so many of them over here and local support is, dare I say it, pathetic especially in ‘the sporting city… if that sport is AFL, you’re going to always have more kiwi support

unfortunately even at Suncorp against a kiwi side we're often outnumbered

 

[Up the Guts]

Should have won comfortably at 17-0. The sort of capitulation you unfortunately come to expect from an Australian side against any team vaguely associated with NZ.

Suspect this involves the Regional East Coast Elite Sydney Syndicate (RECESS).

Not sure exactly what they're up to but I think someone should look into it.

Positive I hadn't paused. At full time my wife came in and was surprised I did not know the final score as Stan still had 8 mins to go.

Wild. Didn't notice any difference between from others here, in my group chat or on twitter, but maybe we were all watching on Stan

Such a disappointing performance by the Reds. They had that game.

Vest not up to it and I’d ditch both Daugunu and at least bench Paisami. His option taking is poor at the moment.

Don’t understand the decision to take Tate off. Thomas so many levels below.

One of Jock’s worst games for Qld and Creighton cost us points too.

Creighton and the Reds started like a team run by a very enthusiastic young new flyhalf. Plenty of early points and had the rub of the green.

Once the Canes defensive shape got set though, the pressure was on.

Hopefully Creighton and the team learn from this, better to play a solid 80mins, than a brilliant 20mins and drop off after that. Decision making was brain dead at times.

 

[Penguin]

Make it so as soon as the maul isn’t going towards the goal line, not sideways, the half has to use it. If it stops once and goes again, scrum to the opposition. If it doesn’t get moving initially, same

Yep, pretty simple.

Paisami can run through Aussie defenses but not against the Kiwis ones, so he looks average facing guys like Ardie Savea

Yet there he was making breaks, setting up a try and having a couple of other good runs break down from others mistakes...

I was watching the live pre-game on Stan. Went to put a bet on for the game and it said markets closed - game live. Sure enough I exited Stan and got back in and the game had just kicked off. I was about 8 mins behind I think.

Haven’t had that issue before and it wasn’t an internet thing as my mate was watching Kayo NRL on same wifi live (you don’t get the big TV for that).

I'm very un conspiracy east coast ellite rubbish. Tbf I've only mentioned a couple of times from some unfair things that have happened this year. Don't lump me in from one or two posts about some issues.

I live in regional NSW in a fringe NBN area. That may be an issue. I will take note next week when FTA and Stan coincide.

 

[Shiggins]

That knock on that should have been a yellow that ended in a hurricanes try. Can someone please explain what the tmo and ref watched. It was clearly a knock on on replay. Straight down would be very generous.

 

[RugbyReg]

Tongan Thor ball carrying was really underwhelming. Someone with his pace and skills and sheer physique should be making a lot more of a mess than that

Probably discounts the effort he puts into his scrummaging

 

[Shiggins]

Wilson is a beast. Really impressive. He can actually carry the ball against guys like Savea.
Wright just needs to get his timing better on the pilf.
Creighton might be in the top 3 10s in Aus.

One thing I like about the reds is they put it all on the line. They have players that seem to really want to win. I'm sure every player wants to win but it's not all Aus obvious.
