Why was Anae lying there?

And his head was buried clear in the ruck...

Awful decision by the TMO...
Where Anae was lying was irrelevant. The penalty was for incorrect use of feet. A player lying in the wrong spot does not excuse this. And Robinson went straight over the top of Anae slowly. He knew exactly where he was.
I get the impression for previous posts of yours that you play/ed in the pigs so you've been there too.
No malicious intent granted. But still a penalty.

Looks like Rebels may have done their dash. .../singing/... "History never Repeats" - Channelling Split Enz (or was it Crowded House?)

He copped an accidental foot while he was making no attempt to roll away.....

No penalty........

Both players did a penalizable offence. It was going to be a harsh penalty either way. I would have liked to see play on called but in the heat of the moment they called something up and had to make a call.

Frustrating 2nd half. Rebels blew a few simple chances.

Anyways, based on that game..... JOC (James O'Connor) is not a flyhalf.....

He stands way too deep, and except for that one time (which did leave to a try) he never looked like setting anything up....

His long passing game wasn't particularly good and his distribution often static and laboured..... in fact, he often stopped in order to pass the ball......

Maybe it's because he doesn't have a lot of great options in that backline but he he often seemed hesitant in his decision making........

Scoreline flattered Rebels. Reds murdered two more tries over the line. Could have easily been a 24 point win for Reds.

Completely agree. He was very deep, took the ball into the defensive line a lot, but mostly died with it. He stood well out of the attacking line a lot too. He really did not look threatening in attack, apart from that try. He's a very good player, but I can't see him being a great 10. Much better working in some space, or being put in it by someone else. I think.

Yep.

There were a few times where he seemed to be in two minds about what to do and would either die with the ball or throw a hospital pass to somebody.

I think the thing for JOC (James O'Connor) playing 10 at the Rebels is that he only usually does it when Beale is out. When he doesn't have Beale around I think he suffers from trying to do much himself.

Australian rugby players are playing some incredibly dumb footy these days. It's like they are all completely unaware of where the ball is, where other players are (in defence and attack), where gaps in defence are, where opposition runners are and where the side line, and more importantly, where the try line is.

The rebels didn't deserve to win the game and the reds didn't deserve to win it just a little bit less. But neither side deserved to win it.

Terrible.
