RD 13 Reds vs Blues, Fri May 19, 2023

[LeCheese]

Reds doing well to stick in this and get a try before half time. I kind of like the tactic of subbing on fresh front rowers at 35mins

Feels very familiar…

Is Nic Berry pissed off he not reffing? It looks funny he comes right onto field at times doesn't he?

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Not that surprising, Vuni is a putting his hand up for captain of the airport XV

It seems like he's barely on the same page as his teammates.

Plus he's slow. Lam took that outside shoulder and skinned him something horrific.

He looked quick on that first high ball he tapped back, but the rest of the time…

 

[Fireworks]

Wright having a blinder.

 

[Shiggins]

How does an Aussie side get home town refs in a home game and the refs screw them over. That first penlaty down in the red zone that the blues gave away was a yellow all day. Off feet repeatedly slapping the ball like a rageing homo. Then the second time they get down in the red zone the blues dive on the ball in a ruck and no call.

Blues palyers in tates way at every other ruck.

 

[Shiggins]

Talea is so deceptive. Has to be the most dangerous winger in super.

Dangunu and suli would be probably the most overrated wingers in super.

 

[Marce]

Joining ruck incorrectly

 

[The Red Baron]

The ruck is a complete free for all tonight. It's so frustrating to watch.

 

[LeCheese]

Daugunu doing his best attempt to sever Barrett’s achilles it seems

The one thing that annoys me the most is when decoy runners interfere with defenders. That's happening a lot as well.

Plummer into 10.

Great.

Fantastic.

Wunderbar.

Beauden better be getting back out there soon otherwise it's gg.

EDIT: Especially with Funaki on the bench too.

 

[Fireworks]

Another cynical Blues player on the ground putting hand out. Not a McReight knock on!

 

[Shiggins]

Another yellow card offence by the blues slapping the ball when off feet in the ruck while wright picks it up. Blues almost score at the other end. Wow. What a terrible miss by the refs.

 

[Shiggins]

I hope the Reds can somehow win this one. The blues have got away with some cynical things that have literally lead to 14 point swings.

 

[griffins]

Telea clearly got a knee down there but ref gave scrum to reds, do we talk about that?

One eyed analysis of the reffing is pretty boring.

What. ?

He didn't clearly get a knee down. Looked like it was always up. And thats a 50/50 in the middle of the field and not cynical. Very different.

Watch it again tho. He didn't have knees down. He was being held off the ground and desperately trying to get his knee down

 

[LeCheese]

What. ?

Looked like Daugunu caught Barrett’s heel with one of his tags at the end of their chase. Barrett had a big gash on his achilles walking down the tunnel

And your call is fair. The ref has got some wrong calls the other way. But not when the team was 2m out from scoring and cynical
