"Good thing he's got a lot of product in his hair..."

They also reckon Weeks is Wallaby capped..

 

[Slim 293]

Johansson on report for a tip tackle...

He's been done before with his sickening coat hanger on Mortlock back in 2007...

8 weeks?

 

[qwerty51]

19 weeks

but seriously that was barely a penalty

It'll just be interesting to see if there's any consistency with SANZAR's disciplinary panel...

 

[qwerty51]

Cooper Vuna is a shocking defender, no idea how to read a game.

 

[Hardtackle]

+1 qwerty. He's blown it at least three times in 1 half.

It wasn't even a yellow card. If he gets a ban for that the judiciary should be burnt to the ground.


Rebels paying some dumb rugby at the moment. They need to take control of the game.

That tackle wasn't even a penalty.

Anyone else notice Jonker has given up completely on enforcing players staying on their feet? There have been some obvious examples right in front of him that he just ignored.

Yes the Highlanders are diving over often off their feet and taking space over the ball illegally.

Actually, I noticed the same thing.

One of the Clan props did a bit of flop right in front of him.

There was even a bit of a superman drive into a ruck from one of the Rebels' backs...

Pretty obvious stuff...

 

[Hardtackle]

Jonkers also turning a totally blind eye to restling blokes to the ground by the head, too

 

[Hardtackle]

forward pass

Both sides are doing it.

 

[Slim 293]

Amazing consistency...

Vuna's tip tackle doesn't even receive a card...

"Good footballer this guy, Huxley"

Do these commentators watch rugby?

This Rebels game plan is actually retarded. "Ok lets kick to Gear and Poki, who are awesome counter-attackers, then we can get pinned down in out own half for the whole game, shit yeh that'll work". So retarded.

Also why has Beale and Delve been taken off?

 

[Bowside]

Rebels were gash in the second half, highlanders deserving winners.

Marius Jonker is the new Byrce Lawrence. Totally cocked that game up for both teams - missed about 4 or 5 clear forwards passes, no ruck control, missed a few clear knock ons (one from the rebels that was absolutely dropped cold). His touchies were equally bad.

 

[qwerty51]

Don't like the backrow of Saffy, Chamberlain and Delve. Not enough forward impact imo. Pyle is the only decent forward runner, need a battering ram and a dominant tackler.

(anyone but Palu)

To be fair, I think most commentators have considered Huxley a good footballer......up to this year, and these fellas probably haven't seen much of him this year.
