Rebels vs Brumbies, Friday 9 March AAMI Park, 7.30pm

[WorkingClassRugger]

Rugby vision's new player based algorithm agrees:

Am I reading this wrong? Is it actually suggesting the Naivalu loses out to Peni?

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

Hmmm .. JD worth 2 points over Lealiifano? McCaffrey worth 1.5 points more than Timani? Peni worth more than Naivalu?

And Hodge only being 1 point better than Godwin. Umm.........no.

That's correct. It's a very new algorithm and is probably heavily impacted by last year with peni at the force. I'm guessing good players who were out last year like naivalu and leileafano take a ratings hit at the moment

Not too many moneyball fans on here

Wouldn't be suprised if that knee injury signals the end of Mann-Rea's career. It's been a good one. All the best buddy

Supposed streaming through Rugby.com.au or ABC Grandstand is a frustratingly bad joke. Can only get the occasional 3 or 4 words of commentary before cutting out. Anyone know if there is a better service available?

Foxtel is great

Geez this turning into an entertaining game of rugby, Rebels are starting to wind up! Brumbies are the same as against Reds last week, their attack is pretty ordinary, not much deception etc going on, just shovel the ball out with no change of angles etc. They must improve soon!

Wouldn't Henry Speight be penalised? You serious ref?

 

[Ash]

So harsh on DHP, he had eyes on the ball the entire time and Speight got in his way. There's no way he could have done much else.

 

[Scoey]

If DHP was wearing a Reds Jersey that would’ve been a red card no question.

speight held his line, dhp is very lucky in my opinion

Not to mention the shoulder to the head of Sam Carter

You have a different definition of "held his line" than me, the refs and the commentators. He definitely swerved in front to provide protection.

Consider where Speights eyes were on the replay. I disagree very strongly

Not harsh at all. That was reckless as all fuck and the player in the air ended up on his face. The standard has been set well and truly this season.

he was always in front, what rule states that he must give way to dhp?

I wish Foxtel would adopt that technology

Ref clearly stated he changed his line to get in front of DHP, and I agree with that.

I missed 20 mins in the middle - did lilo get injured? Early sub if not. Powell gone early too.
There was a lot of pretty marginal roughing the passer on lilo in the first half.

not so excited about this game - agree Brumbies playing about the same as previous two weeks - Rebels clearly missing Coleman , Genia not quite his usual magic, and not the same strength to drive it through even though happy at this stage about the score
