Absolute thriller at Eden Park!
Great pass from Carraro to put Foley in.
How bad are the Reds?
There is no winner in this game for me
The only good thing about this game is listening to Greg Martin whine like a little girl who just fell off her bike!!!
This is terrible stuff. Error after error. That'll do me. Time to channel flick again
glory had a draw
Was feeling depressed again after last night but Reds & Tahs shite has just made my day! Force /brumbies game was actually pretty good in comparison. Just trying to work out if they blame the Reds for not letting theTahs play their game or theTahs for not letting the Reds play their game. According to Fox nobs the best players were Dave Dennis (?) Genia (?) and Potgeiter(?). What game were they watching?
Anyone know why Judas got shifted from 10 to 15 an hour before the game?
Was it another RG masterstroke? :sarcastic:
:redface: yeah, my bad. The Blues were at Nth Harbour.
Actually the commentators tried to use the "forced" move as a kind of half baked excuse a couple of times.
The second comment was about the Tahs and Reds. Another bore-a-thon.
Wouldn't say Genia and Dennis were any worse than most. But that was the scrappiest match I've seen from Potgieter. High error count and gave up too many penalties. JOC tried to add some spark but he should have been at 10. Frisbee was incapable of bringing JOC (or any of their outside backs) into the game. Not his fault - he's not a 5/8. Another coaching brain fart.
JOC showed that his game (at its heart) hasn't developed a whole helluva lot since he played for the Force. He's still one of the best players on his feet, possibly in the world, but still forgets how to pass until he's on the way to the ground. It happened several times in that game, every single one was a half break where he throws a speculator so some poor bugger who is looking to clean out.
He will make an awesome winger, but the Reds can't afford a player like that at 10 and it's too risky for any team to put him at fullback.
Frisby was swamped by the occasion but, like Hunt, had nothin to work with. Even though the tahs forwards were hopeless the Reds were worse.
I think that's my biggest gripe with them at the moment.
Nobody would be concerned if we walked away from the 4 game start to the season with a 50-50 record, especially considering who we were playing.
Tahs, Brums and Highlanders are all perennial pointy end teams and we're a maybe shot at a finals berth, that means to beat one of the three of them early in the season, with two out of three games away would set us up nicely.
To have lost to an aimless and ineffective Reds side anywhere calls into question our ability to lift ourselves of the bottom of the conference.
The mungoes were entertaining. The 19 year old backrower for Parramatta is a pretty impressive specimen. Fox 1 had the most entertaining rugby of the weekend. After a great season in 2014, its disappinting that the season is over for the Force after a month. The Reds are another Richard Graham disaster. The Rabble have impressed. The Tahs aand Brumbies will be shooting for the title. The Stormers look the goods from RSA and the Chiefs and Canes look pretty tasty from across the ditch. Mungoes has been the winner from the first month of stupor 15 however.
