SRAU RD 8 - Reds v Brumbies

[dru]

Sorry - that isn’t what I meant. Would prefer she was there too but she has family in Brisbane she is catching up with.

I should have said - Father/daughter time.

It did beg a question!

Brumbies are the most penalised team in SRAU this year which surprised me as I thought it would be the Reds for sure.

Well that surprises me too. I just assumed it was the Reds.

Paisami ruled out, Flook to start at outside centre instead... massive loss for the Reds, he has been the inform player in the backline.

Brumbies by 20

crap surely you jest, well I don't think Flook vs KI is a great match up prob prefer JP moves in one and we start FD

Yeowch. Damn. Yeah this game has a Brumbies victory written all over it.

 

[Zero_Cool]

Would have expected JP to move to 13 and Daugunu to start, but who knows, in Thorn we trust.

Who's KI? If it's meant to be Lenny Ikitau, then would be good to at least get the initials right. Very confusing to someone not so familiar with some of the players to just refer to them by their initials. No problem with MT for Matt To'omua for example as he's been known as that for years, but I'd rather Duagunu had his name in full rather than just FD (as another example).

Yes apologies using this forum on my phone is not the best medium, however why by your logic is it ok to refer to player's by their initials but not others? Seems like a petty post really.

No-one is likely to get To'omua's initials mixed up, and like I said he's been known as MT in rugby circles for a decade or more. Nobody I know calls Len Ikitau LI, let alone KI. And FD? Probably half the readers if they know him at all would think his name might start with P rather than F. But anyway, it is a pet peeve of mine, and only exacerbated when the wrong initials are used.

Personally, I wish no one used players initials.

I had problems with the club rugby today, but tonight everything is spot on.

 

[Derpus]

Who was the dick head that said the Brumbies dont spend all game mauling?

 

[Tomikin]

Narr good for me

 

[Dctarget]

I wanna knock mauls but mainly because the Fkn Rebels can’t do it, they would’ve lost advantage. Brumbies are masters at generating maul penalties.

 

[Dctarget]

Simone already passing like Matt To'omua couldn’t last night.

Petaia has nailed two big tackles so far, good defender.

 

[Dctarget]

Also ASY (Angus Scott-Young) proving more effective than last week already.
