Discipline? Waszat?I can't watch the replay yet. The app doesn't work
Just tell me, it was a good or bad Reds performance? From 1 to 10
General performance. Thumb up or down?Discipline? Waszat?
I don't think the laws refer to being behind the other 9, it is about where the ball is until it is fed, it then appears that he can move to the other side of the 9 while the scrum is being contested..What part does Tate not understand you can't stand on other side of opposing 9?
- Prior to the start of play in the scrum, the scrum-half of the team not throwing in the ball stands:
- On that team’s side of the middle line next to the opposing scrum-half, or
- At least five metres behind the hindmost foot of their team’s last player in the scrum and remains there until the completion of the scrum.
- Once play in the scrum begins, the scrum-half of the team not in possession:
- Takes up a position with both feet behind the ball and close to the scrum but not in the space between the flanker and the number eight or
- Permanently retires to a point on the offside line either at that team’s hindmost foot, or
- Permanently retires at least five metres behind the hindmost foot.
Thorn couldn't coach a game plan's asshole. Seriously.
I did not have an issue with the kicking game plan, but wonder if it is suitable to a team that does not really have high quality kickers playing.
I thought Creighton looked a lot more assured this week and made some nice passes - seemed to be setting up well. He is looking good for the future. Tate was ridiculous around the scrum, not sure if he has been told to try to get in the way of the opposing 9 or decided it himself, seemed very odd.Again, like last week, I think Creighton was pretty damn decent. A few mistakes but not unexpected when a Flyhalf his making his 2nd start.
He wasn’t supported, however, but Campbell and Paisami again. Neither of whom are proving the attacking threat needed. And Daugunu is a shadow of his former attacking self. If those three, or even 2 of them, play to their true abilities then we win the match. Even without JOC (James O'Connor) (James O'Connor).
Understand that TSR, but he was caught and penalised twice and then seemed to ask AR what he was doing wrong?No difference between that and Ross angling massively to open up the blind. Both know what they are doing is only wrong if they get caught.
That was quite interesting that try, as it looked to me he took ball of McReight who was behind him, and he was on knees when he did it, but they didn't go back that far on replay. Wasn't too worried, thats just what happens in games.Quiet please, this narrative fails to subscribe to the heroic and brave and innocent Reds groupthink on display in this thread.
**FINAL WARNING**
FFS the kiwi ref gave the Reds a try when the bloke clearly dropped the ball over the line, what more do you want?
"Mummy, mummy, it's the kiwi ref's fault our scrum is getting mangled".
"Mummy, mummy, the stupid biased kiwi ref made our dopey drongo players kick the ball away for the whole game".
Yep mate, I was surprised he was standing alongside the Chiefs 6 before ball was even fed into scrum, was most interesting because once ball is back in play ie the scrum, he then off side as he in front of ball.I don't think the laws refer to being behind the other 9, it is about where the ball is until it is fed, it then appears that he can move to the other side of the 9 while the scrum is being contested..
The numbering is wrong as the copy paste did not work properly.

It was mind boggling that two teams, with players who are not good at long range kicking, go into a kick off. Then, every time we get our hands on the ball we kick it straight back to them (usually landing in their hands). I’m all for a good kick off, but you only do this with purpose and know that you’re going to come off with better field position.Two things. Creightons kicking and Pickerills refereeing. The worst.
I think we were watching different games or have different expectations. How can you accept this as the new level of rookie flyhalf? I’m not even sure this is acceptable for Prems. For god sakes, bring in Lynagh now if we are going to accept this.Again, like last week, I think Creighton was pretty damn decent. A few mistakes but not unexpected when a Flyhalf his making his 2nd start.

I assume he asked the AR why he let the opposition half man handle him like that.Understand that TSR, but he was caught and penalised twice and then seemed to ask AR what he was doing wrong?
Actually 3 things may stand out, Creighton's kicking. Pickerell's reff and JC not watching game as Pickerell wasn't even at the game this thread is about.Two things. Creightons kicking and Pickerills refereeing. The worst.
