Lions vs Reds Rd 6 2014

[emuarse]

You think he will kick 10 penalties? He have a sore leg on Sunday after a night like that.

So if he does kick 10 penalties, and we keep them tryless, then we need to get 31 points including 4 tries = 5 points.

3 cons 4 pens 2 drop goals 24 points and his leg I'm sure was fine on Sunday.
The way the Reds are bleeding Penalties I I hope Boshoff legs is sore on Game day and Reds fined it in themselves to load on the try's... Doubtful though..

 

[tranquility]

Hmm, which bit is doubtful? His leg being sore or Reds scoring trys...
I think our attack actually looked pretty good last night, we just forgot to you know actually catch the ball once we were in space.

Boshoff kicked 29 points in the 34 - 10 win for the Lions over the Stormers in the second round.

6 penalties, 3 drop goals, 1 conversion = 29 points.

Believe it or not, the Lions try in that game was in the second minute.

Stormers conceded just 9 penalties for those stats.

Attack from either side in that game was pretty unconvincing.

The Reds will either need to watch their discpline or score loads of tries, because Boshoff will be kicking them from anywhere.

I think we're incapable of 'watching our discipline' at the moment (meaning it will take time to correct this) but I think we have plenty of tries in us. We'll sneak home. If we can start fast and make them chase us on the scoreboard that may help us.

I think we'll win this one. If the Blues are 3 points worse than the Lions at home surely the Reds...

 

[biggsy]

What ash said, I didn't think I needed to go that far in depth to explain it.

 

[Ash]

I think that if the Reds can score at least 4 tries, they will at least sneak home. Hopefully.

@Scoey a fast start would be ideal: getting too far ahead may make the Lions chase the game and turn down kicks at goal.

The Blues scored 5 tries in 30min....dunno if the Reds have that in them....

I know I have been negative for this game and also agree with you here.

But how long does it take to sort out the discipline. 4 weeks into the comp and last season was frustrating as well. Reds might have the wins but the for and against May keeps them out of reach of the top 1 Aus or top 6th spot at the end of the season based on current form and points of the other teams.

Yep the discipline has been an issue for years and will be the death of me.

Yeah well the Reds also don't have what the Blues dished up for the first 50 mins in them.

Agree Scoey and I think many of the discipline, penalty-inccuring problems in 2013 were sort of 'covered over' in scoring terms by last year's exceptional Reds' defence thus keeping 5 or 7-pointers against us comparatively low on average over the whole season.

Ha, me to.. And it's the reason why I drink so much bloody rum. Maybe I should stop playing drinking games. When the reds conceded a penalty I have a Black Rat (bundy rum can for the foreigners contributing to this thread)

So what did the Blues do in that second half that got them the goodies.
Whatever it was, I bet London to a brick that RG and the boys will be studying the replays.

 

[tranquility]

Sautia out with hamstring issues. Not good.

Finger to outside you would imagine.

I thought RG likes Finger at 12 though

Sautia and his bloody Hammy's, size of those legs you would think they would be rock solid..

Bummer, hope its nothing too serious (this time).

From what I read, it's more a precaution against hamstring soreness.
If this had been a number of years ago he'd have probably played. But understandably with such a long season you can understand why players are rested with niggles.
