Western Force vs Reds, 2011R17

[dobduff11]

my thoughts so far:

Reds: Quade has been on fire so far playing very well apart from some odd passes.

Morahan had a few defensive yips, put him on the right wing.

Lance good so far, lighter on his feet than I think he showed in his early time in the 7's team.

Taps nice bust late in the 1st half, not sure why the commentators said he should have pushed up straight. If he did then Sidey just would have gone on the outside of him.

Gill - looks small even with his masssive pads on.

Force:
Pocock - the guy is a freak

JOC (James O'Connor) - impressive and has had a few nice runs, needs to sort out the kicking though.

Smith, Sidey, Cummins, Brown and Wykes have all been pretty good as well

 

[GC]

Dickenson.

Dickenson.

and...?

Higginbotham will never claim the Wallabies wing spot with a kicking display like this.

 

[cyclopath]

Marto is creaming his pants every time a Reds player catches the ball. It is downright cringeworthy.

 

[dobduff11]

that was freakish by O'connor

 

[Jnor]

Reds intensity seems to have lifted a gear, dont think the Force will be able to stick with them but we'll see.

Does anyone remeber the deal with Pocock's ear btw? He seems to be doing ok as capt too, watching with interest

and...?

Barbara Streisand?

Morahan offers nothing, he just doesnt add anything in attack, im not sure why he gets talked up for wallabies so much, he hasnt done anything for a while

on another note. Pocock is a freak

 

[vidiot]

Things just got a whole lot harder for the Force. Dunning off.

 

[minorbird]

Maybe this isn't the right time to complain about this, but has anyone noticed that when asked a question to kick the commentating off before the start of the game, Horan seems to respond with a relevant phrase in response to the question, and then drift onto a topic of his own choosing? Annoying.

 

[lincoln]

Barbara Streisand?

Woohoo........Stuie Dickinsen

 

[Jnor]

That O'Connor bloke can play alright too

 

[Scotty]

Gill is getting penalized for nothing. He was on his feet then. Dickenson seems to have it in for him tonight.

 

[GC]

No releasing the tackled player. Dickenson.

 

[minorbird]

Gill is getting penalized for nothing. He was on his feet then. Dickenson seems to have it in for him tonight.

Or (alternative explanation) he is being too obvious with his attempts to get the ball. I know its hard to see that with your eye patch, but please do try.

 

[Scotty]

How ironic that the reds are the ones penalized for slowing the ball down.

 

[dobduff11]

Half the tss 2007 backline has played in this match:

9. Swanopoel
10. Lance
12. Tapuai
14. Morahan

and 3.Slipper

Couple of Nudgee boys as well.
12. O'Connor
11. Shipperley

You are allowed to go for the ball when you are on your feet.

 

[cyclopath]

Minorbird - stop it.
