Round 5 - Brumbies v Reds GIO 18/3

[Wilson]

I thought this was the best Zander has looked so far this year.

The not rolling is the same silly mistake he's been making all year, didn't need to happen.

Jeez. Though the ref call was marginal. He was getting out, admitted ly not the right way, but did he impact things? I'm not sure.

Reds errors are compounding here.

 

[TSR]

I love the look on every props face when they get pinned

 

[LeCheese]

Seems like Paisami’s kicking accuracy has really improved - that bomb and the grubber earlier were pretty spot on

He was good at it last year in super, just less time in tests so we forgot

 

[A mutterer]

the battle between slipper and thor is glorious. its pure one upsmanship and they're taking the piss out of each other.

I feel it was a bit more hit and miss last year. Obviously still did it when had the chance, but the accuracy wasn’t always there

 

[dru]

How was that a knock on?

 

[Derpus]

Murphy is a bit of a tough watch

 

[drewprint]

Valetini has been anonymous other than the niggly stuff. If he actually decides to start playing the Reds could be in trouble.

 

[TSR]

I’m not sure either Flooks or Browns were knock ons. Looked to me both players got a late bat back on the ball.

 

[dru]

Murphy is a bit of a tough watch

I'm not sure about that chats with the props. Up to now, it has been physical with compete determination to get over the opposition - but friendly. Felt like the chat just removed friendly with spite.

 

[TSR]

I’ll say again this is a cracking game. Plenty of errors but off the back of pressure. It’ll be interesting if the game opens up in the second half.

 

[Derpus]

Why did Murphy call back the advantage when Banks took it to ground a few metres from the Reds line? Didn't seem like it was pilfered.

 

[Wilson]

Such a step up from the rest of the Australian games so far, proper hammer and tongs stuff.

I think he had a second dynamic movement

Son and I were wondering about those knock ons too TSR.

Still I think it a bloody good game so far.

 

[Rugby follower]

Messy game. The thing I’ve noticed is Banks kicks for touch are about 60% of the distance to the corner he used to be. A few bad misses in big games over the last 12 months has clearly affected his confidence on going for 5-10 metres from the try line. Flook very solid again.

 

[Adam84]

Too much carrying on from both teams, screaming and cheering in the others teams face when they mistake. Pretty immature behaviour I think. Just play the game and let your game do the talking.

good game besides that

Yeah he called crawling but so wasn't..
