Round 5 - Brumbies v Reds GIO 18/3

[Adam84]

Surely not a penalty try? But a definite yellow.

He was held back, no one in front. Literally the only reason he didn’t score was because of cynical play, that’s what a penalty try is for.

Great game. Well done Brumbies. I'll keep my bitching between me and my beer.

 

[LeCheese]

Good game. Very unfortunate that it will have a dark cloud over it with that holding back

 

[SteveWA]

Wondering if McReight was onside?

 

[A mutterer]

ive enjoyed the game until the last 3 mins.

damon should be given a fucking scathing assessment from the assessor next week.

Cracking game. Congrats Brumbs. Too good.

Disappointed to lose. Reds had their chances. Generally very happy with how the Reds played though. Lineout and discipline our every lasting Achilles heel but gee there was a lot to like.

 

[Confucius Say]

Murphy is 5m away?

 

[Derpus]

I sort of enjoyed that as a neutral. It was great in the moments between a series of tired penalties.

And despite blowing his arse off he misses the match defining infringement. Maybe he ran out of gas?

I thought the Reds backrow kept them in that almost alone. Uru, McReight and Wilson were all involved in everything good from the Reds.

 

[Ignoto]

Embarrassing stuff that a full strength Brumbies team playing at home couldn't put away a QPR Reds team.

Vision would’ve been obscured by Iona’s body as it’s the left hand - don’t understand why the TMO didn’t call it out

 

[drewprint]

Disappointed but overall feeling pretty good. On paper we should’ve gone down by far more. I thought they’d run through us in the second half. But we stayed in there and couldve (should’ve maybe? Ahem Iona?) pinched it at the end.

Good tough tight game. Thought McReight and Wilson were excellent from a Reds perspective.

We did 16 - 12 mate

 

[TSR]

Gee it’s a shame Frost is going OS. Just getting better and better.

 

[Derpus]

Some other obs:
Noah looked much better than OConnor
Swain loves a cynical infringement
Samu wasn't very effective, doesn't really play like an 8.
Petaia should put his Tuqiri step away and just hit the line.
Wright is looking deadly at the moment

 

[Tomikin]

Frost MOM

 

[molman]

Gee it’s a shame Frost is going OS. Just getting better and better.

Agreed. These are the players that you hate to loose.

... you can see why Dean's would target him... he has that real team player, Brumbies/Crusaders system style of play.

 

[Confucius Say]

What is the point of the hooker been given the line out mark when every time he stepped towards his team before throwing? Not policed.

 

[TSR]

Actually, I’m going to amend my earlier comment. I enjoyed the game and I love that the Reds kept punching and they did a lot of good things, but lots to improve for the Reds and I look forward to them continuing to improve.
