Reds v Waratahs - Sat 15th Mar - Suncorp

[Major Tom]

We all know that guy who believes he’s a hard man because he’s large. Blyth is that guy

Very hard after that win

 

[Derpus]

Still like what O’Donnell brings to the Tahs. Daugunu has been a beast in defence but in attack hasn’t got past him and O’Donnell has made some nice runs.

We have absolutely no strike power though. Just workman like centres outside a Shute Shield flyhalf.

Just ask him

 

[HogansHeros]

Well the Tahs needed that to bring them down to earth.

 

[Marbig]

Imagine year after year being given every possible advantage and once again being a truly awful rugby team.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Canham is some player.

Hooper and Uru battling it out for a Wallabies starting spot?

 

[Steve_Grey]

Terrible game from NSW - #7 off the pace; improved when Adamson came on. Reds well deserved that one.

 

[molman]

Well that was disappointing. The openning stanza when I suspect the team was playing the gameplan looked good, but that soft Murray try and that (Teddy) Wilson knock on, on the line and suddenly things started to slip away.

 

[Yoda]

Reds totally outplayed a NSW side devoid of attack.

Geez Gleeson is a pest. I think on the wrong side opf the ruck rules but not according to Doleman and you play the ref. Awesome player. While I am really getting pissed at these weekly tip tackles, Kellaway is back to his best and possibly the Tahs best. Tupou starting to strut his his stuff which is nice to see.

Got to take my hat off to Hodgeman - that was basically a 84 min game from the prop. Lynagh just firing, ditto Tate. Red back row doing their thing beautifully, Still it's the Reds locks that impressed me. Red lineout and mall, just wow. Daugunu is back in form.

Oh yeah, Murray, all is forgiven dude, crack on.

Great game, great crowd.

 

[Yoda]

Hope Fraser is OK.

What is Catt contributing? NSW attack as potent as last year.

 

[Derpus]

This is bullshit. Weve been on the edge of broke and picked up some absolute flops from the Rebels.

I would argue having our best attacking player (who just put Penrith to the sword) swapped out for Suallii at the whims of the RA board has proven nothing but a disadvantage.

He’s a Pommy. What would he know about attacking rugby!

Tbf they’ve genuinely been good up until this week

Sarcasm?

Boring Highlanders (home) Fiji (home) Force who seem to be the Force again (home)

I thought they might not win again until rd11 and it’s well on. Conceding 35 is disappointing but the loss shouldn’t be a shock to any Tahs fans and I don’t think it is. $3 for a reason.

Really? I think Blyth is a good example of what a difference genuine size makes. Isn’t flashy and can be prone to ill-discipline but uses his size well. Makes his tackles, makes his clean outs, strong in the scrum, good in the lineouts. I’d take him every day in front of the Tahs locks.

Hes a great lock with the propensity for genuinely dangerous play.

Well done Reds. I'm not sure that was your most impressive game, but the better team on the night.

Lynagh imperious with his kicking. Accuracy and really nice range ingame. It makes such a difference with all those extra 2's. Uru and Canham had a solid game. Harry Wilson and McReight generally good, even if I felt the Tah's did well to quell McReights breakdown impact. Can't recall a turnover?

For the Tahs, I thought that was one of O'Reily's better games. Some really nice tackles and impact. Agree that O'Donnell is continuing to look good. Good in defense and tends to make some decent gain in contact. Tatataina had some really good carries. Nice performance. Bell with his usual high standard and Sinclair solid also. Quiet game for Jorgensen. He kept trying to inject, but wasn't given the ball in space to really impact. Really not the best game from Kellaway (disagree with @dru). Soft yellow aside, he really needed to commit when McReight scored, which was through a poor tackle by Creighton.
