Horton butchered that one.

Tahs win if he hits that throw

 

[Happy]

That was a good game considering the conditions. Reds hung in and found a way to win. Tahs has their chances but couldn’t finish them.

 

[A mutterer]

Would probably focus more on the Tahs throwing the worst lineout of the match when it counted most

dont you fucking logic me in this moment!@#$%#!@

 

[Lightblue]

See. Scrum. I should be a coach.

Ah.... no.

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

Tahs win if he hits that throw

Wouldn't go that far but it was uncontested and he underthrew it which made taking it for the jumpers at thigh level very difficult.

 

[Lightblue]

Donaldson is the worst 10 to play for the Tahs since Halangahu - possibly worse.

You have no idea old Derps..

The thing I fear most at all times is the fully legalised obstruction aka the rolling maul

They were setup before he even caught the ball. Thank god for the bad throw

 

[Derpus]

Ah.... no.

Yes - their lineout had clearly failed but their scrum seemed to be in the ascendency.

Despite the fact scrums are only ever used as random penalty generators, they are actually great attacking platforms.

wish the result went our way, but really enjoyed the game. massive step up from last year and tbf we really should have put on some more points if we didnt get all taht'd up. fair crack to JOC (James O'Connor), didnt have a great game but kept the reds in it. look forward to the return leg.

not to drown my not quite sorrows because - it was a game in the rain that wasnt fucking marred by typical aussie shit handling due to the 'dew'.

Reds didn’t win that, Tahs lost it. Lots of positives but lots of negatives too. Harrison will make a big difference and can Faulkner play hooker?

 

[Wilson]

Hopefully we see a dry track in Perth in next week, want to see what the Reds attack can do when the handbrake comes off

Say it. Say I was right.

Sure tahs were their own worst enemy at the end there, but they were beaten by team that took their chances and made the smart decisions. Reds won as much as the tahs lost.

 

[Confucius Say]

Compelling match. High stake. Good niggle. Looking forward to round 2 at Suncorp.
This 2022 NSW side are a different proposition.

 

[Wilson]

Cheik going a bit Rassie here

 

[A mutterer]

go chieks! call out the post game red card!!!

 

[Cancelled Account]

There is a change in the Red’s plays. It’s not working. We are lucky to come away with that one.

 

[Confucius Say]

Cheika now doing his one eyed review. Should not be on STAN. Not impartial.

 

[Wilson]

Mafi may have copped an injury, Thorn listed him alongside injured players
