Round 10 : Reds v Blues

[Derpus]

So ends a fairly grim weekend for Australian sides.

 

[Neo]

HTF can you lose by 7pts when 7pts up with 7mins to play. Fucken hopeless

 

[Dismal Pillock]

 

[Derpus]

Two key decisions cost them the game. A boxkick with knock on advantage that lead to a try and then taking the 3 when it only got them 7 ahead.

 

[Neo]

Clarke made Vulevaleau look like a fucken spud

 

[Brumby Runner]

You wanted Werchon, here he is

And Dru he didn't disappoint. He is a real step up on Thomas.

 

[cyclopath]

Shame for the Reds. Their management in the final stanza of that game was...interesting. Having done so well to get a decent lead, they handed too many opportunities to the Blues.
Ryan is quite something!

 

[Confucius Say]

Wow

 

[Derpus]

Decision making across Australian sides certainly seems poor at the moment. Just take a breath and think about it for half a second.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Much respect to the Reds, no team this season has so successfully neutered the Bloos route 1 boomfa action. Bleus looked a bit flustered and lost because of it until the jailbreak muscle memory kicked in and bailed them out.

 

[Dan54]

Touch exciting that fellas, genuinely could of gone either way. I have to say Sotutu is looking fairly handy this year, and bt christ Clarke certainly knew when to make a break. For Reds, I thought it hard to point fingers at anyone to blame for loss, just Blues decided they weren't going to lose.

 

[PhilClinton]

And Dru he didn't disappoint. He is a real step up on Thomas.

Showed his inexperience at the end. Obviously playing to a gameplan but two very shite box kicks to finish the game and a horrible pass which turned the ball over after the buzzer.

Three: those, plus Vunivalu tracking a restart way too tight and letting Sotutu have a gentle gallop down his wing into the Reds half. After getting to the 7 point lead, we just had to lock it down. Instead we fucking waved them on into our half of the field.

Yeah well - you can't blame Vunivalu for continually getting picked.

 

[PhilClinton]

Reds game management at the end was perfect example of why you need a leader in the backs.

During the final stanza they had Werchon, Creighton and Aubrey in key positions. Not bad players but also not the guys I’d want trying to steer my side in a huge upset win with 5mins to go. About 15 Super Rugby games between them.

Or your captain could just take it to the line rather than taking the 3. I get that it's still a gamble but with a yellow card warning its really a no-brainer.

 

[Shiggins]

Can someone explain how someone can come through the ruck. Leave the ruck. Then stay offside and play soccer with the ball which is still in the ruck ?

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Vunivalu

This big dope has well and truly played his way into All Airport XV consideration.

This big dope has well and truly played his way into All Airport XV consideration.

It's crazy that he's still an employed rugby union footballer who gets selected for a Super Rugby side AND has national caps despite not having for a single fucking second demonstrated that he's even remotely capable of playing the game.

He's earnt like 2m from us? I want 2m and I can't fucken play. Can I run on?

Somewhat amazingly, Creighton has thirty caps for the Reds already
