I hope Joseph Sua'ali'i isn’t tuning in to this game. Fingers crossed for a much better second half!

rebels are the new tahs, bringing opposition down to their level

Isnt it the other way round? See Brumbies set piece last week.

Truly terrible skills on display at the moment. Nothing working.

I can’t help but continue to feel Wessels not the answer for the Rebels and Force got a much better coach with Sampson

no def not. think back to the reds v rebs game.

its definitely the rebels.

I am feeling the players having their pay reduced with current quality on show is players involved tonight still paid too much

It's an odd game. Rebels should be the much better team on paper, but they just can't get it together for sustained periods and the Tahs just look a little out of sorts. Maddocks all up in his head, Harrison playing deep out back a lot, lineout has turned into a mess, Hunt has his moments but looks to try too hard and makes some poor passes/decisions in contact. They look ok when they are able to string some phases together. There is space out there. Just need to actually hold the ball.

Hoping for some improvement in next half, don't like comparing games, but at this time last week I was in the stands at the Reds/Force game and thinking how good it was! There certainly seems a little lack of brains and skills so far. let's hope it will improve!

 

[molman]

Deegan on?.. MT at 12?

 

[Wilson]

Sounds like DHP is off

 

[molman]

Hunt.. grr... not needed.

Yeh without doubt reds vs force games set the standard we look for as quality game - this is painful to watch so hopefully improves as otherwise some heads should roll from both sides.

Yeah, Kellaway FB?

 

[Wilson]

Yeah, Kellaway FB?

Him or Hodge, not quite sure

 

[Up the Guts]

Can someone explain how Gardner gave that ball to the Rebels?

 

[A mutterer]

not sure i understand how that wasnt the rebs rolling away?

 

[Derpus]

After 30 years i still dont get the rules. Why wouldnt faamusili not have to roll away after tackling hooper when he won the turnover?

 

[Wilson]

Yeah, Kellaway FB?

Definitely Hodge at fb
