Round 5: Hurricanes v Rebels - Friday 22/3 - 5pm AEDT

[Dan54]

Its pretty fucking dumb that Jordie Barrett is out there already.

He started

 

[Highlander35]

Geoffy very pissed off.

 

[Derpus]

and Kellaway injured lol.

 

[Derpus]

That number 12 is god damn awful. Nearly killed that attack and then succeeded on his second attempt.

 

[dru]

and Kellaway injured lol.

Was he injured? Surely he wasnt hooked.

 

[LeCheese]

And Nela's rolled his ankle

 

[Highlander35]

Holy shit, there's some fluency when Carter isn't the sole player capable of distributing the ball beyond first receiver.

 

[LeCheese]

Second week in a row the Rebels look like a different team in the first stanza of the second half

 

[Derpus]

Rebels looking much better suddenly.

 

[Wilson]

This is the frustrating thing about the Rebels - these players are clearly capable of so much more but they just enter ever game so unprepared for what's coming. Going into the sheds and the shame of how they've been playing fires them up and they can come out gunning but they just don't have the leadership, coaching or organisation they need to play anything like 80 at the level required.

 

[Derpus]

ITs really basic stuff killing the Rebels. In possession there and the bloke pops the ball up into his own player coming over the top to secure the ruck. Terrible.

 

[Derpus]

And all that hard work undone immediately.

 

[Scooter]

Well no, but I did see the bit where the two women on the panel looked at him kinda funny then went 13+

I was joking.

 

[LeCheese]

And Nela seems to be playing only using one hand?

 

[Scooter]

Was he injured? Surely he wasnt hooked.

He looked a bit iffy going off at half time

With ball in hand, outside of set plays, there seems to be a clear lack of direction - just running sideways, dancing at the line, going nowhere fast. Gordon needs to find his voice (especially without Kellaway on the field).

 

[Derpus]

Obstruction?

 

[Scooter]

Rebels make a couple of good runs and get within 5 metres of the line. Then we roll the ball out of the back of the ruck for a turnover.

Thought there were a lot of black bodies all around the ground. Edit lieing on the ground in the ruck

 

[Scooter]

Well done Mason Gordon scoring on debut.
