R3 - Reds vs. Crusaders - Suncorp

[Strewthcobber]

I don't mind it. We have been expecting too my from Stewart. This gives him a chance to pick up game time and mature. And he's still wearing 10.

Feels like a waste of a position at the moment. Pick Hegarty at 10 and someone who offers more playing 15. Work Stewart in from the bench if you need to

Hocking should be yellow carded for that ridiculous maul defence. For his own safety

For christ's sake, you need your 5 with his muscle applied defending a maul, not swimming over it!

 

[dru]

More kicking errors.

The give it to Kerevi exit strategy

Reds just can't complete the simplest of plays. Have they had more than 5 phases in possession this match? Why does the very first phase with the ball need to be some kind of miracle/overly engineered play? I suspect that the reds must have zero confidence that they can keep the ball in their rucks or something.

Settle down guys and build some pressure before trying to do the ridiculous.

 

[dru]

So we are back to 15 and many replacements on to replace tired legs. We are down, but let's see how it plays out.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Reds bench look like they'd rather be just about anywhere else right now

Higgers on. Welcome back!

 

[gel]

Aaaannnndddd... Try something out of the ordinary again, and fuck it up.

 

[dru]

Silly bugger line out straight to the opposition.

 

[dru]

l/o without the silly buggers and we hold it. Leads to a try.

Silly bugger line out straight to the opposition.

It's the obvious answer but they are playing like a bunch of talented youngsters lacking a few hard headed leaders

 

[The torpedo]

this'll be called back

Or not.

 

[gel]

Hahahahahaha

Diveball it is then.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Cancel that try and you're going to be disallowing a lot of tries in the future

That hole is all some teams have

 

[TSR]

Fuck - fair enough penalty. Silly play by Smith.

But Moody & Franks do that all game every game and with no regards for players safety and it gets let go week in week out.

 

[Up the Guts]

Brynn Hall was lucky, he had no intention of making that tackle

 

[dru]

Awesome maul defense! And lose the pill in the first phase.

Reds have played poorly... butt this referees performance especially around scrum time has been woeful

He seems a bit hot headed, not sure about sending Lukhan off for running back on side.
