Round 8: Moana Pasifika v Qld Friday April 12

[SouthernX]

Good victory for the Moana

Reds haven’t won in a month. 3 on the trot with a bye week for measure

 

[Derpus]

Definitely a week by week worsening by the Reds.

Can’t believe how bad we were.

No Mcs for a couple of weeks as we hit our hardest run. Shees

At least the premature circle jerk around Les Kiss can cease. He's doing actually pretty badly with a very strong squad.

 

[capalaba]

Midfield not linking with loosies, poor discipline with the cards . This is a game we should have won all day long. Floor shoulder had troubled him and couldn't make that tackle.

 

[Confucius Say]

I’m happy with that loss. Just shows the coach is not the problem. It’s the inability of this squad to maintain high performance. They are premature ejaculators.
No justification for the last 3 games. They have just served up three turds and ruined their season, the support they were building and the Highlanders must be licking their lips for next Friday.

 

[Brumby Runner]

But fending into the face/throat is ok

With an open palm, of course yes. All legal on the fend but the hit to the head was strictly illegal no matter how soft.

 

[Confucius Say]

A month ago they were getting picked for the Wallabies and today they’ll be lucky to make the Reds team next week.

he’s the messiah don’t you know?

 

[capalaba]

Hodgman looked good with Zane when they came on. The stupid kicks on the full, HMP not tapping and kicking on the full. Passes being pushed instead of securing the ball first.

 

[SteveWA]

Liam Wright is all class.

 

[Derpus]

I find that red card to McReight to be exceedingly harsh. Yes there was head contact but it was with such little force.

A squad that is largely the same as their mediocre 2023.

Agree Derps, but unfotunately they are being called reds most times.

I do think he was a little unlucky but they will call a card there every day of the week.

 

[Dan54]

Well hope the Reds are happy, my picking comp I not only has them winning, but also be biggest margin!!! Are they now on same wins as MP (Moana Pasifika)?

 

[dru]

What an utter disappointing mess that was. can we simply drop the bye next year? There was still some impressive handling and skills, but carrying out a game plan seemed optional, pushing forward defence almost non existant and a scrum that could not adjust to (an admittedly dopey) ref.

Man, what a let down. MP (Moana Pasifika) deserved it. Let alone cards by, what, captain and vice? Wow. Flook looked injured and Paisami had a problem mid second half. Very bloody messy.

 

[capalaba]

And as for the ref????? Mayby was as expected, terrible.

 

[rugbyAU]

Well everyone was raving about kiss and a reds heavy wallabies now they’ve lost to the 2 worst teams in the comp

they’ve always had the talent but can’t produce the results

 

[The Nomad]

All summed up by the penalty Nasser gave away in the last few minutes. Should have backed our defence in from there, but gave away a soft penalty with the ref screaming to leave it. Dumb, dumb, dumb…..

 

[Derpus]

I do think he was a little unlucky but they will call a card there every day of the week.

A red though? I'd appeal it.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Both teams defended well but on attack were grisly lumpen oafs.

Not a flash spectacle in an utterly, utterly empty Okara Park. FFS they wouldnt have even taken in enough gate receipts to pay for turning on the lights.
