Round 4 - Festival of Hate - Qld v NSW

[Adam84]

Reds scrum dominance yet to materialize. Impressed with Lucas so far

This pitch crumbles under any pressure, parts of the field are completely unsuitable for a rummaging

 

[Adam84]

KHunt was certainly not on his feet then..... not even close.

Elbows and head count as feet?

 

[Slim 293]

Elbows and head count as feet?

Knees too........

 

[Adam84]

No advantage to the Reds for the knock on?

 

[Dctarget]

Stepping is nice and everything, but clear the bloody ball, which smug prick is that commentating?

 

[Slim 293]

No advantage to the Reds for the knock on?

He kicked it away.......... advantage over.

 

[Derpus]

No chance wright was on his foots

 

[Derpus]

Scrappy game

 

[Adam84]

He kicked it away.... advantage over.

yeah that’s not actually the rule, ultimately advantage needs to be clear and real..

Tahs knocking the ball on and sending it 5m behind the advantage line isn’t simply ruled out by a kick, especially if that kick is made from a disadvantaged position

 

[Dctarget]

Good tactic by the 'Tahs when you have a weak pack, play on a surface where no scrum can get purchase. Genius strategy.

 

[jimmydubs]

Reds are literally unable to hold the ball for 3 phases

 

[Slim 293]

yeah that’s not actually the rule, ultimately advantage needs to be clear and real..

THs knocking the ball on and sending it 5m behind the advantage line isn’t simply ruled out by a kick

Nah, knock on advantage and the ball was kicked past the gainline into the 5m......... definitely advantage over.

 

[Derpus]

Rubbish call against Miller

 

[Slim 293]

Up until the last 10 mins, I wouldn't have thought Naivalu was playing........

 

[Shaker]

Reds playing with butter on their hands? Some of the decisions have been awful as well.

 

[Adam84]

Nah, knock on advantage and the ball was kicked past the gainline into the 5m... definitely advantage over.

Nah, that’s not the actual rule

 

[gel]

Reds just don't know how to play as a team. They are disjointed in just about every aspect of play. It's no surprise they struggle to apply any pressure when tgey can't work together.

Quick pick and goes are an impossibility because individuals just don't know what others are doing. Yet that has been the play that was needed on many occasions. Opposition defence just has it easy against the reds.

Tries are just flukes - there's little organisation in anything they do.

 

[Shaker]

Is there anyone else in a maroon jersey that can place kick. That conversion would have made it a penalty for the lead.

 

[Dctarget]

Fuck me I feel for the crowd at the ground. Sitting 50m from the sideline and absolute bore of a game too.

 

[The Honey Badger]

Nice build up by the Tahs
