Would love to say the Rebels - The Force looked good though

Still think the Rebels could surprise a few, they were undoubtedly poor. The Rebels played brain dead rugby at times and I feel the pressure this put them under contributed to all the unforced errors as they were always chasing the game and trying to force passes
Where I think the Force were the complete opposite, I think they played some tactically smart rugby so they were always in the game and I felt when the opportunity to attack was there they were able to capitalise

Rebels in trouble. Gordon benched with To'omua to 10. not sure I love that. That is a very, very underwhelming 11-14.

yeah, bugger me that's a harsh call.

Dunno, he was the cause of quite a few of the problems. Like I don't wanna turf him but he threw some shockers.
Yeah Ioane looks unfit. Works well against tiring opposition though.

He definitely made mistakes, but Hodge probably made more and left Gordon without support as a result. I guess if the rebels can't fix their gain line issues then maybe they're better off benching Gordon - hit his confidence a bit now but spare him the bigger hit he'd take play-making without options for another week.

Don’t think we have anyone better on our books, Tuttle had a night to forget when he came on.

That's my point. Zero done to address it in the offseason.

The coaches have no clue down here. How many intercepts will we throw now with To'omua at 10? So much less enthusiastic about the game now

Jim Lenehan (48)
Even if he doesn’t play him in the first half and bring a different back rower on in the second. We don’t want to be chasing the game again, we need some front foot ball in the first 40

Faaarrrrk. Bring Gordon home. What an absolute fuck up by the coaches there. It looks like that is the only change to last week’s team, then moving To'omua to 10 and the bringing in the 12.
Rebel’s playing issues last week were more deep seeded than Gordon. If anything To'omua and Powell were the issue. When the bench 12 come on, him and Gordon played better.
