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

[Simon.]

I really don't know when the Reds will ever catch a bloody break from the video refs.

 

[biggsy]

Feel like I’m playing against or watching a Sunnybank game with this Reds team. Plenty of Polynesians......

 

[Wilson]

Regardless of the result of the call that's not a great look for the game. Really need to sort out a better tmo system

 

[dru]

Reds are looking good in the first 5 min.

 

[dru]

Arnold busy and effective in D too.

 

[biggsy]

Arnold around the neck of slipper. 6 weeks for that

Seen about 10 shoulder contacts with a head already

 

[dru]

These scrum penalties are not just 50-50. There is nothing in it. Ref feels he has to call. Could make it a long night.

 

[dru]

Seen about 10 shoulder contacts with a head already

and swinging arms.

 

[TOCC]

George hates the Reds. Probably.

Angus is the one making the onfield decision of ‘no try’

He was on the wrong side to see it. Twice. Whart would you expect him to call. He gave the TMO and the Reds a chance.

 

[biggsy]

Finally, a shit piss weak hit around the neck penalised. 3 weeks rest coming up

 

[biggsy]

Quade would have found touch Thorn

 

[TOCC]

If it’s over the line it’s over the line. If it’s short then it’s short, In either case he was in a better position to see where the ball finished then the TMO.

He called onfield decision ‘no try’

 

[dru]

Lance is looking deep this early in the game.

 

[Wilson]

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

Well, it was not obvious, and it's in real time, so that's not such a problem. I would argue that those replays did show a very likely grounding so it's on George.

 

[TOCC]

Surely based on the precedent set last week that should be a card...

 

[dru]

Nice LO work Carter

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