Round 9 : Reds v Highlanders

[molman]

Petaia's injury aside, the coaches will be happy with that one. Well done Reds.

 

[capalaba]

Boys won that playing with character, played the percentages and blanked the Highlanders. Awesome game

 

[cyclopath]

Man the reds have choked the highlanders harder than an incel chokes his salami.

Wasn't pretty but well constructed win.

Topical, but ghastly, image.

 

[Shiggins]

What a mess. Highlanders are literally puss. Only positive from the game was the reds defence and hunter. I started the game over an hour behind and ended up watching the end live due to how stop start and error ridden the game was.

The score board 31-0 sounds like the reds killed it but the highlanders were worse than the force against the blues. If highlanders put that out against the canes it would be 80plus-nil

 

[Brumby Runner]

One of the most uninspiring matches ever. What was the final penalty count? Seemed like something around 15 - 3 in favour of the Reds. I was feeling a bit embarrassed by the end.

 

[Confucius Say]

Can’t believe the commentators were calling the Highlanders a dangerous side.

37-7

Most important thing tonight by a long way is that we got the win. Second thing was getting a bonus point. Not pretty at all, but important in terms of trying to get as high up the table as possible.

Need to find about 3 more gears v the Blues though.

Official penalty count was 15-9.

Geez those Kiwis really, really don't have the depth for five teams. Really dragging the competition down (yeah I'm gunna keep doing this till I die).

[Tomikin]

They did the Navy Camo didn’t they?

Sounds pretty quiet on the coverage. Feels like a Tahs game.

Was a grey and white with the poppy pattern on it and soldiers at the bottom.

 

[Adam84]

reasonable game to watch in person, Reds defence was rock solid and Highlanders were garbage, Reds scrums must have forced about 4 scrum penalties in the end?

Crowd was 14k In the end I think was flashed up?

Most disappointing aspect was to see Petaia dislocate his shoulder

It looked like he popped it out & put it back in himself on the field a few games ago.

Hopefully it's a quick recovery....

 

[Adam84]

Also noticed Zane Nonggor on the sideline, is he rested or injured?

Yep, noticed that at the time too. Hopefully not a break that keeps causing a dislocation.

 

[Dctarget]

Reds biggest win over a NZ side since ‘96.

Usually a healthy round-up in most codes. Probably just cracked 11, 13 sounds better then 12.

Couldn't agree more Deps, think we should cut both South Island teams. and concentrate the players and money etc to the 3 North Island teams!!
