Rebels v Tribe 15/05/22 at AAMI

[young gun]

To be fair two other guys had already missed Norris by the time it was 22's turn...

it was still an easy side on tackle. No excuses, you guys wouldn't accept it in your teams.

What's wrong this weekend ? Rebels look to score and the ref wasn't even there to see and he says it's short ? Replays shows a try
And the number 3 was clearly onside on that massive shot. Great tackle and he came from onside if you watch it. Then he gets played off the ball and pushes back then gets a card ? How can teams be competitive with this crap going on.

Cheifs score a try 3 phases after a clear accidental offside that the ref played on from. Seen it a few times recently and it's allways a scrum to the defending team.

The ref was a joke, I was abusing him at the ground and that is something I hate doing.

Prop v outside back that close to the line & the prop is essentially already past the outside back? Only one possible result. Blame the bigger bodies who missed the prop before he breached the D-line, not the poor bugger trying to cover their arses.

All weekend the Aussie teams have copped some seriously questionable refereeing.

I feel for the rebel supporters. Great bounce back from last week and should have seeled that win. When they took the 3 points go go outside of a penalty I had a feeling the cheifs would score a try to win. Would of prefered to see the rebels scrum 5m out as their scrum was dominant and they could have sealed the game there. Unlucky rebels.

Should Gordan be on the wing or fullback ? He is an average ball player but seems to have some serious pace.

Hey Dismal, what was the name of the worst commentators thread? I want to push Horan's case as "Next level" but couldn't find it

Great player, woeful commentator.
Nearly as bad as Phil Gould and Phil Kearns….
One of his best this year, after one good game for the Force, he calls for Pasitoa to be in the Wallabies Squad!
Please.

I booed him in front of my small children which is something i hadn't contemplated I would need to hate doing until that moment - try scored right in front of them in their first game for years due to covid, no afternoon games, etc. The prick basically killed Santa.

Was so heartbreaking, they went to the TMO to card Pone as well. That makes it even worse

is that meant to be funny?

I know it's a light comment. but we can't delight in another Australian team losing to a Kiwi one. We are, actually, all in this together. I'm 100% Waratahs but was still yelling at the TV for the Rebels as I was for the Reds, the Force and the Brumbies. We need to lose our parochialism to survive, IMHO.

I was supporting the Rebels. In fact, I'm not Australian native and I didn't play rugby club in Australia so I don't have any heritage for an Aussie grassroot club.

I used to support Reds long time ago when Horwill, QC (Quade Cooper), Genia and Digby Ioane played there. I supported Tahs when they won in 2014 and some years ago in lived in NSW for a while. For that reason I'm a Tahs supporter, cause I know Sydney and NSW very well and I have family living there but I support all the Aussie teams in Super Rugby. I have a special love for Straya lol

My message was a furious message against I don't know who, cause it was a historic victory for Rebels but they lost incredibly in the last seconds

 

[Marce]

Related to Fred Au Kuoi?

I think so but a Kiwi can answer properly

I support Australia, mate. I used to support the Reds but I never been in QLD. I lived in Manly, Bondi and Greater Western Sydney. So NSW is in my heart ❤

I miss Straya! Rugby is a way to stay connected. Rugby League too lol

Greater Western Sydney

Manly Oval

Probably one of the best matches the Rebels have ever played.

Pretty shattering way to lose though.

When we gave away penalty at breakdown it was here we go and then Wells stole the line out. We had hope again. Then clearing kick partially blocked.

Welcome to the life of a Rebels supporter.

I don't understand why we even went to clear it. Surely the safer play would be for the forwards to stuff it up the jumper and grind out a few phases like Qld did to us a few weeks ago.

Give a way a penalty at the ruck, they kick to corner, maul try, same result. I didn't hate the clearance. Stupid by Hardwick though. Let Chiefs play under pressure and stuff up a pass.

Yeah, but play it a few phases. They train that shit, that’s the pigs job, control possession. Go backwards if needs be. Pass to Hodge, he kicks it over the grandstand and hope they don’t score from 60 out.

 

[Derpus]

Only just seen the Philip non-try. For what reason did he pull it back? Can't do audio right now.

Looked like a clear as day try on replay. Perplexing.

Was proper capitulation defence.

He literally said something along the lines of 'he was short and it was white jumpers that drove it over the line.'

Now there are two premises here:
1. that it was in fact short (incorrect)
2. that white jumpers driving it over the line disqualifies the grounding when full control is maintained (irrelevant).

Hopefully someone can set me straight but from my viewing momentum never stopped and the ball was grounded under a pile of bodies. A try every day of the week.

I go along with that Tex it has got me beat. looked like he had grounded it on the line to me.
As I don't agree with ref abuse or getting into them I can only assume he had called tackle, so Tribe had to release him, so then he figured the tackle was made and then couldn't reach out?? But it only thing I can think of, and don't didn't see or hear anything to show that was case.

Couldn't reach out? Perhaps he mistakenly thought he was reffing a league game.
