Round 5: Lions v Rebels - Sun12:05am @Emirates Park

[kiap]

Y'never know

They might get something out of it

 

[Derpus]

Deserved to lose really

 

[Rebels3]

Meakes sin binned for slapping the ball down when he doesn’t even touch it

 

[Ash]

Lions already had penalty advantage for Korobeite being offside....

The Rebels are lucky not to have a player or two in the bin.

Don't think they've quite been Brumbies level cynical.

 

[Derpus]

Bet Tom English will regret having worse hands than Simmons

 

[Rebels3]

Rebels haven’t been great but it’s been very much one sided with the whistle

 

[Slim 293]

Swing and a miss............

 

[Derpus]

Deserved come back victory to the Lions. Rebels losing from 33 - 12 up, concerning.

 

[Scooter]

Bummer to lose after the siren.

 

[Ash]

Yeah, Rebels definitely dropped their bundle there.

 

[Shaker]

That final scrum was huge. Pretty big loss for the Rebels considering the lead they had.

 

[Ash]

Swing and a miss....

Admit it, truth hurts

 

[Ash]

Rebels pack should have known that big push was coming. They just clocked off and it cost them the draw. Did they only have 7 men in that scrum?

 

[Slim 293]

Admit it, truth hurts

You might want to check which team leads the competition in yellow cards, and ranked fourth in penalties conceded this year..........

I'll give you a hint: they gave away 20 penalties tonight.

Rebels may give away penalties and your sour from last week. But only one from a team all game is unheard of and completely one sided refing.

 

[Rebels3]

I’m going to have my whinge.

The Rebels bottled that one, there is no excuse been that far up and losing but seriously some of those penalties were almost verging on fabricated and when it was 50/50 it was definitely favored in the home teams way. Meakes sin binned without touching the ball for a slap down, some offsides were questionable, Marx not holding his feet then slapping the ball to the side off his feet for them to run 80m and score, cooper having the ball slapped out of his hand and Geni called for a high tackle when at best he hits his shoulder.

I’m probably more enraged after that commentary performance, it was in his own words disgusting. It made Phil Kearns sound like the Martin Tyler of rugby.

 

[Bobas]

On field decision should have been a rebels win, this referee was out of his depth.

We both know I wasn't referring to this year with cynical Brumby penalties. The hurt lingers from the two losses this year?

And you and I both know who was ranked fifth in the penalties conceded this year. Hint: they just gave away 1 penalty in the last game.

You're not covering yourself in glory right now.........

That was a funny one, because there weren't any other clear replay angles (that I saw?) but it was right in front of the ref..............

Still someone was leaving the field, Meakes possibly unlucky it was him.
