Round 1 - Brumbies v Rebels - Fri 15th@7:45pm

[Slim 293]

The brumbies look cooked atm

I don't think they came back out of the sheds in the second half.........

Except for maybe Samu...... saw that stat about winning 29 games straight and thought he'd do it himself.

 

[Dctarget]

Maddocks is a star cricket player yes, comes out there.

 

[Double Agent]

I was looking forward to watching some Rebels games this year but it'll be sound down if Marto is doing them

 

[louie]

Powell has been mediocre at best, Genia has smoked him in all facets tonight.

No half would look good with a backline sitting that deep.

 

[dru]

Sooo Billy can't pass left to right I assume?

Can cant who cares. Kick pass was called and delivered. Try if you didnt notice.

 

[Up the Guts]

He said top 5, but either way I don’t know if he actually believes it. I’m pretty sure he wants to though.

Quakes has a pretty solid game. Some good stuff, some vintage Quade nonsense, nothing spectacular. The thing is, he plays with such style that even his normal moments look “flashy”.

Given Quade played club all last season he’s definitely exceeded expectations in his first game back. Some of praise has been ridiculous though.

 

[dru]

They are deep (in part) because he is slow.

 

[Micheal]

Lol Quade a turnstile off that scrum there. Leo straight through. Don’t want to sound like a negative Nancy but that was completely horrendous.

 

[Dctarget]

To be fair to the Brumbies, they lost Pocock and Pulu in the first few minutes, which will always cook your team's energy levels.

 

[TSR]

Yeah, it’s hyperbole and I wish they’d give it a rest - but the bar for performances by an Aussie 10 over the last 3 years isn’t high.

Edit: he has been good though.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Brumbys give themselves a chance with another well taken driving maul

One leads to the other. Not functional

Slippery Pete has been outstanding.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Awesome start to Super rugby. Enjoyed that

 

[dru]

Llea work in the last 90s was brilliant. Did not pay off but really great work.

Rebels away steal one from Brumbies. Not too shabby.

 

[Shaker]

Wonder if Quade is getting man of the match?

 

[Dctarget]

Don't know, but he'll definitely be getting something from Marto in the sheds.

 

[dru]

No not inn this case I think. He's slow because he's not getting in and pushing the pace. Look I do actually like Powell, but he'll need to speed up.

 

[Silverado]

Yeah. It was good to see Quaid back. Did some good things in attack but needs to lift in defence if he wants to get back into the Wallabies (Unless Marto is sole selector, if that was the case then he’ll be Captain/coach)

 

[biggsy]

DHP not giving anything in post and prematch interviews like what I see already as a captain
