Western Force vs Brumbies - Saturday 10th May 2025

Whats happening down on ground. In the south stand and no idea

 

[Pokinacha]

Can’t comprehend how that’s play on with Toole out. Something is so so wrong with the reffing in this comp.

If players were at the standard of the refs they’d be dropped. But we see them again next week…

That’s because there’s no one else.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Never good to see a guy in pain like that. Not controlling their body movements due to the pain taking over. Getting the green whistle out as well

After Lolesio sent Wright a hospital pass he got tackled, Lolesio went to contain the ruck and got pushed off and bent in half

 

[Shiggins]

Not sure what happened to Noah. It didn't look that bad. Must have been his left side

Does anyone on Monday rip into them like a team would? Or do they pat each other on the back and talk about this weeks focus..

 

[Shiggins]

That's not good. Looks like it's Donaldson or lynagh

I would hope they have a review but considering how poorly they continue to be it doesn’t look like they do.
Lolesio has the green whistle soooo could be bad

 

[Shiggins]

Merrideth played very well at the start of the season. He is a good player.

There are some pretty structured review systems in place - but something's obviously amiss, because 70% of games this season have had some pretty shambolic decisions

 

[Shiggins]

That's would have been tizzanos 13th for the season if he was playing haha. Or would it be 12th

It insists upon itself

 

[Shiggins]

Man the force are letting themselves down. A few soft penalties now and plenty of unforced errors.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Seems dramatic but is that the last time we see Noah in Aus? Or has his Japan contract just gone through the shredder

 

[Shiggins]

How's it a penalty if a player runs the ball into someone who is on the ground but offside ?

 

[drewprint]

That's not good. Looks like it's Donaldson or lynagh

Or JOC (James O'Connor) I wonder. If Noah is out (poor bloke, really hope he’s ok) we are super, SUPER short of experience at 10 now.

I don't think they tear them up quiet like that in Japan (the French absolutely do), but given it was only a year deal it'll probably depend on how serious the injury is.

O'Connor is close to a dead cert for the squad now. Whether or not he makes the 23 remains to be seen, but Lolesio, Donaldson and Lynagh are light years ahead of the rest of the options in Australia and the squad realistically needs 3 tens.

 

[Shiggins]

Oh no. Champs off for hia. We need him in this game badly

 

[Shiggins]

Anyone know how long Marley Pearse is out for ?
