Rebels vs Hurricanes - 2011R06

[Gnostic]

Interesting the the Fox commentators agree that Phipps is now 3rd 9 in Oz.

Where are those who questioned Macqueen's preference for him over Kingi?

I thought Kingi played very well for a first Senior (that I know of?) start at 15.

Wow. Fantastic win for the Rebels. That is more embarssing than the Tahs losing to the Cheetahs, we can move on!

Not even close. But feel free to move on anyway.

Kingi is a very good player, add lots of spark. But I think maybe his pass has a bit of the woobles (hard to say tho, havent seen loads of him), similar to burgess maybe. Phibbs has a great pass. Im supporting the commentators saying Phibbs is the 3rd 9 in Oz. Kingi maybe 4th? I like Kingi and hope he gets more game time n shows what he can do.

PHIPPS mate Phibbs is somebody I else, plays for a team that got beaten by the Rebs I believe.

 

[Viking]

My mistake.... Phipps for Rebels is good. Phibbs for Brumbies sucks!

 

[Ruggo]

Great Game and well done Rebels.

Great to see Kingi on the park. Best game I have seen from Morty at 12. Rodzilla had a good game as well. Yoda's workrate is awsome and he is the unsung hero of that pack. Frier is bench material at best currently as Robinson just can't be dropped on his form.

Awesome game, geez the Melbourne crowd look good!!!
Last week I said that they lost the game when Gerrad went off, they made me eat my words tonight!
Going to be a very interesting game next week with force coming back from the republic.

Can everyone please stop ruining my tipping? This is getting quite annoying.

 

[Groucho]

What I like about Phipps is his style of timing his run to the breakdown and passing on the move. It also means he's on the move for snipes as well. Of course it was made possible tonight by the admirable Rebels forwards driving fast beyond the ball.

Ha ha!! I have accepted I will continue to get reamed in the tipping - apart from the top 3-4 teams, the rest are soooo inconsistent at the moment, and the ridiculous points differences are just out there. How can a team lose by 50 one week, then put 42 on a team that is way better on paper? I wish I'd missed getting this tip in and I would have got the home ground point!

 

[Gnostic]

Like I said on the Macqueen thread, after the Tahs and Brumbies have done their very best to sabotage me this year (and for years before that) I had a sly bet on the Rebs to get up in this game. Didn't pick the margin tho which would've been nice.

Canes you are an embarrasement to NZ. Year after year you serve up the same inconsistent efforts. Up 3 trys in 20 mins and then get spanked. As an Aussie with family in Wellington I can't believe the National capital serves up such shite! Absolutly positively Wellington! That said Go the Force.

Don't worry, ours did the same

Myself tipped the Rebels

 

[matty_k]

By 9 too. You picked up a bonus point for that.

I only went by three.

 

[Lindommer]

Where the fuck did that come from?...All of a sudden Robbie Deans has a few more names to consider. Saffy is top of the list. Then Phipps. Then he has to get creative with immigration and whip up a few passports for Sommerville, Robinson and Delve.

Methinks Delve, Robinson and Somerville (sic) are beyond recruiting. They'll never be Aussies, according to the iRB's current guidelines.

 

[barbarian]

I know Lindo. But I'm sure the IRB wouldn't notice the fact that our squad for the RWC features Ned Robinson, Gareth Shelve and Greg Sommersault. A few beards, moustaches and bit of peroxide in the hair and nobodies the wiser...

 

[Reddy!]

Phipps is looking like a very good long term prospect. Is this the kid who toured with the Wallabies last year or the year before or am I mistaken?

 

[Nusadan]

End of last season...

Funnily enough, Kingi went the year before...
