TT Rnd 1: Highlanders v Reds

[Dctarget]

The Highlanders are playing the Reds like a fiddle.

Take the three, puts margin pretty much beyond reach.

Edit: this needs to work........

Edit: genius move to not take the three

Yep that’s the game.

Reds can’t do it without JO’C, Petaia & Paisami in the backline. Not threats there.

 

[Derpus]

Alright, so, can we put TT in the bin now?

 

[Ignoto]

Daugunu dropping a sitter. God damnit man.

What the fuck is this Reds side? As soon as they play a Kiwi team they lose all their mojo.

The Reds probably had one training session where they weren't hung over and then had to fly to Dunedin.

It was a stupid idea not to give them until Sunday. Same with the Brumbies.

yeah, one game into a 26-game comp is the best time to bin it, saves all the mess later on.

correct.

 

[swingpass]

The best Oz team albeit missing a few and on a short turnaround being done over by one of the bottom two NZ sides! Doesnt augur well for Rebs, Force and Tahs.

Avoid the midfield and kick it to the wing. Says a lot doesn't it?

Not like the Highlanders were running out an All Black heavy side eh.

Don't worry, the Blues will probably help even it up.

Quality defeatist attitude

Don’t win so thrown your toys out of the cot and go home

Don't forget the Highlanders have about 1/2 of their starting 15 injured currently.

Either couldn't hold on to the pill or exit from the 22, so therefore couldn't expect any other result. Bear in mind, in the first season of Super 12 (1996), Otago belted the Reds (57-17) but the Reds turned it around and finished the regular season on top of the table. Hopefully Queensland work out that they need to execute in these faster, more physical matches.

Yep and there used to be a saying going around how the Aussies would take on anyone at anything, it's just their supporter's that apparently pull the pin at first sign. You boys don't want to let your players hear this gutless talk!

Normally I'd agree with you but, you know, Melbourne Rebels.

 

[SamoanNo8]

Kalani Thomas shocking match

 

[Dctarget]

Campbell, Hegarty, Stewart all looked so pedestrian in this. Won't judge them too much because of the turn around but maybe TT is their ceiling.

Thomas needs a lot of work.

Mate you and I both know Thorn will be working out how to fix it, and my bloody Canes are gonna cop the backlash! In a few weeks.
