Rebels v Highlanders Super Rugby Rd 5

[boyo]

Moloney going full Shiggins there with "had of"

Rebels with a solid defensive first 10. Deb will need his boot in form from here to battle the territory game. Good so far.

I submit we all start calling George Gregan, white noise. That's what his commentating sounds like.

He could be marketed as a cure for insomnia, as soon as he starts blathering i can feel myself nodding off. So many words, so little said.

Great opportunistic try from the 'landers

And said with such utter lack of conviction. It's like he's reading a press release on fringe benefits tax changes.

Placid is a terrible player. Lack of pace again as I brought up in previous weeks.

 

[cyclopath]

Placid just made an absolute carcass out of a golden try opportunity. Horrid.

The Rebels just butchered a try

I'm getting Gregan-induced narcolepsy here.

Butchered a try there Placid needed to get that pass back to Shipperley earlier. Either selfish or no awareness of game situation. Would have been very handy particularly given the Highlanders' domination.

Lol, ref got had. There were two hands on that ball and both of them were Thompsons. All he was doing was pulling the ball back into the player, refs need to watch out for that, happens all the time.

 

[galumay]

Gregan, explaining at 37 minute mark why the Rebels hace to be careful, "Chiefs are very dangerous in the last 20 minutes of the half."

Such insightful analysis.

Shipperly should have been calling for it earlier, or at least letting Placid know Osbourne was on him.

The Rebels were so average. Aimless around the park, what are they even trying to do?

 

[Nulla]

I thought the Rebels could take these guys on. All the box kicking is just telling me they qet scared to take them on up the middle the middle. Rebels have better loose if you let them them into the game so stop[ all the box kicks & hold the ball.

Lol letting Placid off the hook. The only reason he is there is because he's Victorian.

Can we do a mid-season trade? Send Placid to Leicester Tigers and get Telusa Veainu back?

 

[Scooter]

Placid is from Queensland originally.

Lol he's a Queenslander lol?

It was a shit offload, but it was also shit communication from Shipperly.

God we're an aimless side on attack. No one works, they seem to have no idea where to go. Anything longer than two phases and the ideas are exhausted.

 

[pjm]

My bad, still crap.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

How bad is that turf at AAMI park? It's as solid as the surface on Freshwater Beach.
