Round 5 - Brumbies v Reds GIO 18/3

[dru]

These Brumby throws are not straight.

 

[dru]

Gee I wish the commentators could stop sprucing shite over the top of an important ref chat.

 

[dru]

I think JOC (James O'Connor) needs to flatten up.

 

[LeCheese]

Cynical

 

[Wilson]

Swain hates playing the Reds so much he asks the ref to send him each time. Put a yellow card on his jersey just to make sure the ref knew what he was looking for

 

[dru]

Commentator doesn't, but I do. Mind that. Not a card before a warning for a team penalty.

 

[TSR]

That has to be a card

 

[dru]

What is the rule about jumping across the line out?

But that penalty was dodgy.

 

[TSR]

Absolutely - Swain new exactly what he was doing. Ran a mile offside fo get Wilson early.

Gee Wilson did some good work in the lead up to that.

 

[D-Box]

Does Damon Murphy understand the holding the ball call. After last week and that last penalty I don't think he does

 

[Wilson]

Try time

 

[LeCheese]

Absolutely - Swain new exactly what he was doing. Ran a mile offside fo get Wilson early.

Gee Wilson did some good work in the lead up to that.

He literally tackled Wilson from behind. It was absolutely cynical and needed to go

 

[dru]

Haha! The ref did NOT like the TMO call.

 

[Derpus]

Some of the interplay between McReight and Wilson in the lead up to that try was sublime.

 

[Wilson]

White subbed off before he earns himself a card

 

[dru]

He literally tackled Wilson from behind. It was absolutely cynical and needed to go

Yes cynical. But the ref called from three advantages in a row as a team penalty, as I heard anyway. Surely you have to give a warning. He never called it cynical.

 

[molman]

I feel like I'm watching a French ref in this game. Murphy is all over the shop.

 

[dru]

I feel like I'm watching a French ref in this game. Murphy is all over the shop.

No, I don't think that is it. He wants the game played in a way, that the niggle between the two teams isn't allowing. I think we might enjoy the game that he wants to see as well.

The result isn't pretty at the moment though.

 

[LeCheese]

Yes cynical. But the ref called from three advantages in a row as a team penalty, as I heard anyway. Surely you have to give a warning. He never called it cynical.

Surely they don’t need to be warned that multiple penalties in a row on the line is approaching card territory?

 

[Derpus]

Yes cynical. But the ref called from three advantages in a row as a team penalty, as I heard anyway. Surely you have to give a warning. He never called it cynical.

Why do you have to give a warning? Everyone knows repeated infringements in your own 22 is a yellow.

Edit: except the Kiwis, to which the rule does not apply.
