Reds v Blues Rd 11 Fri 25th April 2025

[dru]

Reds are looking calm and controlled. Playing 14 for another 10 mins, need to score as we come out.

 

[Dan54]

Thought the Reds were running away with this early days, but have seemed to struggle to make right decisions a few times. Thought RC was fairn and Blues need to now tighten up a bit in forwards,

 

[Ignoto]

You can't deny Carlos effort and that he is pushing mcreight for selection

Tizzano is like the character Rudy. All heart and no impact. He was so ineffectual last year for the Wallabies, a pure ankle biter.

 

[dru]

Oh fuck me. Can we leave this alone for the game?

 

[Shiggins]

You might want to go reread Page 1 of this thread...

Anyway, what a cracking half of footy!

Cracker alright. Love these games

 

[Derpus]

Sorry you saying he lost the pill twice?

Yeah.

Reds need to score first i reckon.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

I know it’s not been the brand this year but gee I’d be tempted to tell the Reds to take the points if offered this half. This is a huge game for locking in a top 4 spot and stay in the running for a top 2.

Slog type conditions and free points…

 

[dru]

So I saw him caught and running, then with late support a few times. I'll take your notes that this was a turnover twice. Not sure I'm going to accept this as a criticism. In the mean time the team is being expertly skippered.

 

[Shiggins]

C'mon reds. Keep the winnless games for NZ going in Aus!

They need to get some ball in the Blues' half first...

 

[Derpus]

Reds look terrible ball in hand.

 

[dru]

Blues are firing up!

 

[Shiggins]

Yeh C'mon. Clear knock on at the turnover

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Kurt Eckland is a bloody goer.

 

[Derpus]

Took them, what, 5 phases at least?

 

[griffins]

Tate's kicking much improved, has obviously been doing the work. Excellent

 

[dru]

That interruption by the TMO should not have happened.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Right call is made but why the fuck can’t the TMO call that immediately. We lost so much time there.

 

[Derpus]

I think they've been told not to intervene until a stop in play. Happened in the Force match too.

 

[dru]

Honestly if you missed it real time as phases pass leave it alone.
