Reds vs Brumbies, Lang Park, 2nd March 2018 @ 7:00pm AEST

High..... Arnold again, should be a Red. Good try slipper well worth the chat to Angus.

Reds looking much better than last week, but we really need to put some more points on the board. Good attack without result can be more draining then defence sometimes

Yes, they have not converted a couple of opportunities. Brumby D is solid.

 

[dru]

No because once the onfield referee has made a decision of ‘no try’ the TMO needs almost irrefutable evidence to overturn that onfield decision.

Yes Gardner was surprised he didnt.

Is this the worst game of rugby union I've ever witnessed?

Possibly.............

If this continues I'll stick with the women's AFL.

I always worry after situations like this that when the team that's held out in d for so long gets a bit of ball it's ike the shackles come off and they run riot. Often takes the other side a little while to switch into a defensive mindset which doesn't help.

Well, if they don't definitely see a try onfield they can't just say "Yeah, I reckon........., let's call it a try". I maintain these situations are on the TMO's shoulders, and George, as the TMO, has the ultimate say. You obviously feel differently. Fair enough.

Henry Speight, reminder why I’m not a fan

 

[biggsy]

Booom, jeez ponies.... should have got the meat.

Calm down mate.

 

[dillyboy]

CLL left his boots on the bus I'm glad....

 

[biggsy]

There it is, well done ponies

 

[cyclopath]

Nabuli seems to have attached his hands back to front. Having a shocker.

 

[dru]

Brumby throw in not straight.

 

[Derpus]

Australian defensive lines are so fucking slow. Wake up fluffybunnys, refs don't ref the offside line for shit. Be offside.

 

[dru]

Shoulder YC to Timu.

 

[TOCC]

Ahhh yep... ignore the previous clean outs and tackles, this is the one we will focus on

 

[dillyboy]

For fucks sake - talk about target on our backs.....

 

[Derpus]

Man rugby is gunna fuckin die if they keep this card shit up.

 

[cyclopath]

It's gonna be a loooong year with the tackle situation I think. Unless the players wise up - you just cannot tackle that way.

 

[TOCC]

What a fucken joke, 2 head highs from the brumbies, some dubious bloody clean outs by Arnold, and the Reds are the ones down a man.

Like I said last week, happy for them to be strict on the tackles and punish severely, but they need to do it consistently... and right now it’s not consistent
