Genuine question. Name me one Tahs player with ‘mongrel’.

just one...

The Reds have plenty.
The Brumbies have chippy blokes, which is nearly as good

we’ve got Tarquin Pemberton-Smythe from Scots

Tahs should have won that by plenty, unfortunately similar traits across Australian teams against the Kiwis we simply don’t close them out, reds exactly the same last week. Our quality of play is good however Aussie teams just don’t know how to win ATM when it gets tight.

 

[Marce]

Oh well, annual hope-blip done with.


back to Shute Shield!!!!

At least we were competitive against a Kiwi team. Could be worst

 

[shanky]

Perese!

Shut up. You’re ruining my flow.

Any idea of the attendance?

It's hard to calculate with the seating design of the new stadium. Actually that's the reason of the seating design, to hide the small NRL attedances

 

[Yoda]

Tough for Tane… thought the spot was closer in to where the infringement occurred?

 

[Marce]

That’s my point.

Could be worst. Just remember the 2021 season

Swinton? Lol

Gamble let a lot of opportunities to get on the ball go begging, Murphy was paying good contest and the highlanders got good pay where Gamble couldn't mostly because he folded over without really attacking the ball. Hanigan was a bit the same but would then give away the penalty by latching afterwards. He did get one good steal but more generally his (and Gleeson's) error rate was too high. Vailanu was much better at the ruck than any of the backrow. Additionally, if you can't secure your own ball it probably means your back row is doing something wrong.

Gamble hasn't been as impactful since coming back from injury. I also thought failing to reward Lee-Warner for a solid outing was the wrong call. Hanigan stunk the joint out with a series of really annoying errors.

 

[shanky]

Swinton? Lol

nice call.

I’ll say one thing for Swinton. He’s not been picked

The whole team showed mongrel last week IMO. The defensive intensity in this game was down several notches except, IMO, for Vailanu who made a couple of errors but otherwise had good impact I thought.

 

[shanky]

Last week...OK, cool

i withdraw the comment then.

Withdraw it right back up into your butthole where it belongs.

We started the game asleep. I'm not sure how good are the Landers this year. Let's see what happens
