Round 5 : Reds v Force, Suncorp Stadium, 20 March 6.45

[D-Box]

Forward!!!

 

[Dctarget]

Fuck Paisami is an entertaining runner. Also Jock nearly owed Vuni a slab there.

 

[Adam84]

Other than taking the Force 6 and 8 out of the best position to join the defensive line.

And if it should have been a penalty then no try

Sorry but why? Because the reds pushed up on the loose head side? That’s not a penalty

 

[dru]

Sensational solo effort by Hunter.

 

[Dctarget]

Forward!!!

I’d worry about your players getting bumped before some flat passes.

 

[Derpus]

Jock is lucky Paisami is a cannonball

 

[Derpus]

Taufu is good.

 

[Adam84]

Some pretty soft defence there by the Reds

 

[Dctarget]

Reds attack is scintillating but defence is pretty weak. Force are well in this. Hoping this game turns into an absolute cracker.

 

[dru]

Great strike back, Force.

 

[Serge]

Sorry but why? Because the reds pushed up on the loose head side? That’s not a penalty

As referees we are coached to look mostly at the tight head, not the loose head. If the tight head is taking a couple of forward steps then the scrum is likely to be rewarded, as long as he is not deliberately angling in (which is different from the opposition loose head getting driven out)

 

[dru]

Bit messy at the moment both sides. Easy yards both sides. Plenty of promise too.

 

[Derpus]

Timani looking good

 

[dru]

So much for holding your weight!

 

[Dctarget]

Damn WF never looked worried there defending. Good stuff. Well in this.

 

[Derpus]

I hate those penalties. Paisami had no idea where the ball was.

 

[dru]

Ok that's one each "not releasing" when I didn't think the jackle had his weight.

 

[dru]

Kahui, ouch.

 

[Dctarget]

So I’ve seen that a few times where the person is tackled then pushed into touch, why isn’t a penalty against Reds because the man is already tackled?

 

[Dctarget]

The WF back row have been way more effective this half. Reds 9,10,12,13 the difference here.
