Round 6 - Reds v Waratahs - Suncorp

i thought tizzano was a passenger? have i missed his contributions?

Tizzano probably not quite deserving of being in that list as liked a couple of things early I saw but agree as match gone on not seen as much of him…

i keep seeing gambles stache so that may have skewed my perception .... tizzano therefore needs the stache

Thoughts on Petaia?

He's great player and played his strengths.

 

[Derpus]

Jeez. It's like we forget how to play as soon as we get into the 22.

 

[A mutterer]

Whatever happened to him turned the game

nothing mentioned so far ... did dc make a tactical mistake subbing him?

 

[Rugbynutter39]

No it doesn't. You have to add down to 13 for that.

Yep you have to say reds been strong across the park and critical moment where tahs could not take advantage of superiority during this period telling. Glass half full for me as I honestly did not expect tahs to be in the contest like they were for greater part of the match.

 

[Shiggins]

I disagree as been players letting the attack down in the 22 with dropped passes…he is not the only player on the field who leads to tries..they had plenty of attacking opportunities in the 22 but failure to control possession / hold onto the pill…

I guess what I was getting at was Donaldson has been playing very very good. Arguably the second best 10 in the comp. He is a big miss

 

[Shiggins]

Spends to much time on the ground

 

[A mutterer]

horton getting the try to take the bp away from the reds?

 

[Up the Guts]

Spends to much time on the ground

With his injury history he probably has a panic attack every time he gets bumped, he’ll get over it

I don’t know. I think he was subbed at half time. Hopefully it’s not serious

 

[A mutterer]

cmon the tahs taking the losing bp!!!!

 

[KOB1987]

I’m happy with this result, I was expecting a pole-axing

I don’t know if result would have been different with him tonight as was others making mistakes to my mind with losing the pill in critical attacking positions and reds being more dominant close to the line (Tupou power! Etc)

 

[Shiggins]

Like how the commentators talk positively about the losing side. Unless it's the force. Then they ignore them and only talk about what they did wrong.
Aussie rugby won't be great again until we work as one

 

[A mutterer]

well that was a fucking cracking game, well done reds but the tahs played out of their skins to keep it to that margin.

 

[Shiggins]

I think Donaldson personal attacking skills would have helped. He breaks the line and finds holes for himself

 

[gel]

Yeah look I wouldn’t argue if it was, but he fumbled and regathered and it didn’t properly hit the ground in the process I don’t think, even in slo mo

I dunno. It looked like it cost the reds around 26 points judging by the final score line.

fuck the commentators the gaggers have been positive about your lads

 

[Shiggins]

I don't get the positive talk around the Tahs ? They played against 13 men for 10 min, against 14 for another and didn't even get close.
They had some moments but if you can't finish any of them it's not a great day out
