Round 4 : Rebels v Reds. Friday Night (Melbourne)

[LeCheese]

Totally agree let’s hope it’s not too bad

Horan’s just said suspected ACL. Heartbreaking.

 

[Yoda]

Lots of smiles and laughing post match from the Rebels.

Just conceded 50pts at home and lost by nearly 30.

Never understood smiling after getting flogged?

 

[Confucius Say]

A decision made by a young contrarian man in the 80's. To stubborn as an old man to change now.

There’s more Sydney NRL club supporters in Brisbane than Broncos. Interstate migration has been huge for decades.

 

[TSR]

Wonderful game. Can see plenty of improvement but great to see them back up last week with a good win.

Very sad for Henry though. I know it was only two weeks, but you could see why they had such great wraps on him.

 

[Ignoto]

Weird. I’m feeling a touch flat after a 50 point bonus point game

Nah bugger that Dru, there was too much hype being blown up this Rebels team because they were sitting high up the laddee.

Was absolutely fantastic to give them a flogging. The Reds in the past haven't won the games they were expected to especially after a tough fortnight of games.

Was excellent to see the Reds gather their composure after the Rebels came out the blocks in the second half. Theres enough building blocks in place to say teh Rebels would be a competitive team if they had a couple more supporting cast around the likes of Gordon and Kellaway.

Shame about Henry. Seems like a yearly occurrence of him showing us his talents and then breaking down. Really unsure if rugby is what his body is going to let him do

 

[Brumby Runner]

Uru outpointed LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) tonight, Leota clearly more effective than Harry Wilson, Tate was irrepressible, Reds showing a lot to like in their support play and offloading, Rebels did good to get back into the game in the second half, but poor execution led to a couple of tries to the Reds that cemented their superiority.

 

[rugbyAU]

Yeah I like Wilson but not sold yet he gives off quantity over quality vibes

 

[Dctarget]

Grim scoreline for the Rebels, congratulations to the Reds - really hoping you guys are the real deal. Hope Kemeny & Henry aren’t badly injured. Don’t think I’ll watch this game. Got the vibe from the comments.

how did Carter go?

 

[Red Twist]

Which one is Qld A?

I'm sure the answer is obvious now.

 

[Red Twist]

Why do you go for the bunnies over the Broncos if you're a Q'lder

The bigger question is, who cares?

 

[liquor box]

I think he will get a yellow or red card trying to prove himself, probably from a shoulder charge

Well I think if the referee was looking I would have been correct

McReight has all the potenial to be a world-class 7. He just makes it look so easy.

Thats because he is a world class 7

The Broncos are a NSWRL team, why would you go for them?

Why do you go for the bunnies over the Broncos if you're a Q'lder

I know a lot of Queenslanders who find the Broncos an unlikeable team, I supported the Cowboys through 90s & 00s, then worked with Rabbitohs a few years back and really enjoyed it and supported them ever since

 

[Adam84]

As a Reds fan I was disappointed to lose Tupou, but jeez he is looking unfit in Melbourne. Definitely not playing or training as a $million player.

Kevin Foote was pretty scathing of the effort of some of the players, he didn’t specifically say Tupou, but he said he wasn’t getting enough out of the starting front-row so he subbed them early and highlighted the effort Talakai put in, and how changes are needed so that players are be putting in from the very start

Yeah agreed, Rebels aren’t no slouch. On paper they’ve got on of the best squads in Australia and have been playing well. It was always going to be a strong contest, was surprised to win by the margin they did

 

[Strewthcobber]

The Red's lineout mail is an absolute weapon now. Must be just about the best in the comp.

Any intel as to who is coaching that?

 

[Strewthcobber]

Wilson is deadly with the ball, but I reckon his defence, particularly close to the line isn't at international #8 standard yet and probably why he hasn't been getting much time in gold

 

[Scooter]

Still amazed that Cabous or Pone can't even get in the 23. TT looks like he is too busy counting his money.

 

[Wilson]

I think it's Zane Hilton in charge of it, supported by Johnathan Fisher, a younger English coach Les Kiss bought over with him.
