Brumbies v Reds, Bruce Stadium, 7/4/2018 @7:45pm

[Zero_Cool]

What the fuck is what that TMO?! He was clearly in touch running the ball in.

 

[Slim 293]

I think Ayoub got it back to front........ his foot was out but the grounding was alright.

 

[TSR]

Interesting decision. I thought his foot was out, but given that they didn't I'm a bit surprised that they didn't award it.

I'd be interested in the view of any refs on here. I distinctly remember when I did my level 1 (a while ago now) that they advised that if the ball is on the ground in goal and a player is in touch and puts there hand on it it is simultaneous, and therefore a try (I remember it because it seemed odd to me). I know that wasn't the same scenario - but it would seem to me the same rule in play.

 

[Wilson]

Brumbies doing much better in the second 20 there, starting to play to there potential. Young reds side not used to holding a lead, Thorn will be right up them in the sheds and they should come out firing. Hopefully not too indisciplined though.

 

[TSR]

In any case - a real momentum shift. Reds need to get back on top.

It's been a good game to watch. Maybe not overly free flowing, but certainly both teams having a crack.

CFS is a different player.

 

[Zero_Cool]

At least the injury situation is fairly even. So should shouldn't affect the game too much from here.

I would agree, either way you'd think the hand in touch is inconclusive therefore you stick with the on field call.

 

[Zero_Cool]

So what changed for the Reds in that 2nd 20?

Is it the Lucas - Tuttle change?

 

[cyclopath]

Classic Toua there. Kerevi saves the Reds from a coach-killer.

 

[Slim 293]

That should be a try....... Higgers played the ball off his feet - all good.

 

[Zero_Cool]

No obstruction?

 

[Slim 293]

No obstruction?

Nope.

 

[cyclopath]

Um, what has happened? Reds have switched something off. Brumbies suddenly on fire.

 

[Zero_Cool]

Timu and Higgers for Wallabies! Bot had a blinder!

 

[Wilson]

Jordan Petaia on, interested to see how he steps up

 

[Zero_Cool]

Jeez - not only should that be a try, that should be a yellow card. Surely??

If the CFS was a yellow that should be too!

 

[Slim 293]

Jeez - not only should that be a try, that should be a yellow card. Surely??

Not a yellow card, but it should've been a try........ however, the referee blew his whistle so he couldn't go back and award it.

 

[Wilson]

Kerevi should've put it down before the whistle, they might just have gone to the tmo

 

[Up the Guts]

So we look at replays of the most inane rubbish for 10 minutes but the ref won't even wait to check it?

 

[Slim 293]

Ah, Carter is on to give away penalties........
