Waratahs v Reds, Fri 9th May 7:35pm @ Allianz

[Wilson]

Did we get a crowd number?

 

[GTPIH]

One of the most incompetent reffing performances I've ever seen

 

[molman]

Score more points than

Insightful.

 

[Major Tom]

Nope. Tupou got a good shove on his side, but Botha’s side buckled from pressure from De Lutis.

Lambert you mean?

 

[Heavyd]

3 points on halftime not taken then they don’t take the 3 from 45 out at 21-21 a piece. Just dumb footy from the Waratahs.
Teddy has to start next week now the season is over. Edmed has a good game. How Sualli is ok.

Don’t worry, I’m sure the rest of the officiating members will attempt to one up their colleague with incompetence.

 

[15manHagar]

Coleman was awful. How this bloke refs at this level is beyond me. But a cracker of a game that the Reds were probably lucky to get the win from.

 

[Major Tom]

Insightful.

Also factual.

 

[drewprint]

Lambert you mean?

Whoops yep, thanks.

 

[molman]

Also factual.

No. It's not actually.

 

[cyclopath]

Hard to see why that was not a penalty to the Tahs with that scrum.
Anyway, far too many errors by the Tahs in the second half.
Big effort by Reds to win.

 

[Adam84]

Reds deserved winners.
But Tahs improved.

 

[Major Tom]

No. It's not actually.

Do you deserve to win when you don't score more points than the oppo?
Since we’re living in made up world wanna add the multiple bombed reds tries? Surely they “deserved” them because they set them up.

Dangerous game MT. We don’t need a count back of tries that had forward passes in the lead up.

hypothetical land is full of land mines.

I thought Campbell was excellent at the back, put in some really key kicks and kept our game management in check even once Lynagh was off

Campbell is a great footballer, which there are few of..

I thought the Tahs scrum compressed into each other but I’m not sure the Reds scrum actually went backwards and I thought the front row stayed square.

Probably wrong though and I admit I expected the penalty to be blown.

Anyway - I thought we definitely got a few calls but I thought the Tahs got plenty go there way too so I don’t think the Tahs can blame Doleman.

Edit: just re-watched. Reds do go back a bit at the end and I’ve seen better scrums penalised but I reckon Tupou actually stands up first before JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen).

Yeah agreed. Let’s live in reality as I was suggesting in the first place.
Reds clearly a better team allround. Tahs are good in surges but don’t have the full game just yet.

 

[Dctarget]

Tahs scrum got absolutely no love, should’ve had more dominance awarded.

On the other side, thought Lachie Anderson had a stellar game on either side of the ball.

Canham has got such a motor for a lump of a lad but sadly has tits for hands.

Same with Gleeson

Throws a silky pass though
