Reds v Sharks, Rnd 5 2020, Lang Park Sat 29 7:15 EDST

[molman]

Sharks playing the smarter game.

 

[dru]

Reds struggling at the re-start, its where they lost the game against the Brumbies as well.

Reds need to learn how to exit.

 

[Adam84]

Nice defence from he Red there, solid contact forcing mistakes

 

[molman]

Wright is just so solid in defence.

 

[dru]

Why is our line out so poor?

 

[dru]

Still, I'll take our scrum every day.

 

[Adam84]

Why is our line out so poor?

I don't think it is poor, they've had good success rate in the previous matches, have lost 1 tonight?

Rolling maul/defence is poor though.

 

[molman]

Got all the tall timber. Coaching or execution.

 

[dru]

I don't think it is poor, they've had good success rate in the previous matches, have lost 1 tonight?

Rolling maul/defence is poor though.

I haven't been running stats Adam, but I'm pretty sure it's more than 1, and pretty sure has happened in earlier games too.

Don't disagree on the maul.

Don't disagree on the maul.

Think the stats for success rate are in the mid to high 80's which is in the upper half of the competition.

 

[dru]

6 at the break down. Awesome.

 

[Adam84]

lineout is certainly misfiring tonight, I think the rotation policy at lock has hurt them. Blyth was calling lineouts before this week

 

[molman]

Issue could be Hockings coming in. He's been the jumper in the poor lineouts.

 

[Tomikin]

Why is our line out so poor?

Very good question, specially as most people are picking them as the Wallabies row..

 

[dru]

Very good question, specially as most people are picking them as the Wallabies row..

Leave it for a different thread and fuck off comments like that mid-game on the game thread.

 

[Adam84]

Very good question, specially as most people are picking them as the Wallabies row..

Most people are selecting Harry Hockings as one of the locks in the Wallabies second row?

Dont think so

 

[molman]

Sharks are loosing this game rather than Reds winning it atm. Some of the errors must have the coaches pulling their hair out.

 

[molman]

...and there is another dumb sharks mistake.

 

[Adam84]

.and there is another dumb sharks mistake.

coach killer that one

 

[Ignoto]

How the fuck are the Sharks onside at the breakdown.
