Week 7: Blues @ Rebels

[Drew]

Why were the rebels playing with 13? Elof yellow, down 1 but after several counts my mate and I are only getting 13

If you lose a front rower to the bin, you have to replace with another front rower. If you don’t have any, like the Rebels tonight, you go to uncontested scrums and you lose a player until the binned player returns.

 

[Pokinacha]

Right at the end there blues player goes to ground, presents ball, sees rebels player, rolls over and nothing from the ref. If that’s the standard we’re expecting…

 

[Equalizer]

Rebels....go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

 

[Drew]

I mean I like the maul but the Brumbies fans trying to defend Berry’s call on HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) (Harry Johnson-Holmes) was pathetic.

No argument here. Was paraphrasing their collective posts.

 

[Dan54]

Huh? How is quitting when the game gets a bit tough shit luck?

Just I thought the injuries to front row hurt them a lot.

 

[whitefalcon]

Reminded me a bit of the brumbies v reds last night.

Both rebels and reds in it in the first half then outplayed in the second

 

[Dismal Pillock]

41-0 in the 2nd half.

Now I know what the Blues coaches are staring at on all their laptops up there.

MY HALFTIME ONLINE RANTS

When you miss 24 tackles, blaming the ref seems a bit pointless

I do fail to see how losing a hooker makes them miss tackles in midfield

Yep fair enough mate, but didn't help as once the Blues got completely on top in scrum it got easier for them. Not saying the Rebels were going to win, just thought a lot of things went against them.

 

[Lightblue]

Christie best on ground.

Not trying to have a pop at you, just sick of seeing Aussie teams quit when it gets a bit tough

Pone having to play 40+ minutes cooked them as much as Talakai at hooker. Shame about the injuries, was a great contest in the first half.

Understand that mate wasn't taking it as that. I undersatnd you being pissed etc, but was kind of saying what I thought. Sometimes scores can look worse when things go against you. In no way saying any Rebels supporters should use it as excuse or be content with how they went.

 

[AFL_Converted]

Blues are kicking on but no hooker is really hurting Rebels. Some lost scrums and lineouts, little errors from Talakai like no brake foot and baulking.

Blues were not kicking on, Gordan, Canham and maybe one other excluded the rebels have stopped defending.

What ever that half time speech was, please torch it and never speak of it again

Fully agree with this. It's like rather than dig in and do it together, they gave up with a few exceptions.

Losing 2 hookers in the first half, making a prop go 80, losing your lock rotation early, carrying an extra prop on field, a yellow and then a subsequent extra player off because of injuries might be the summary you are looking for. Rebels unlikely to win because of gulf in talent but this game wasn’t going to be remotely close to the end score that happened.

Stay uninformed and classy

 

[Derpus]

How fun is it seeing a kiwi team score 40 in one half?

Not fucking fun.
