SPIRIT RETAINS SQUAD FOR GRAND FINAL SHOWDOWN

[James]

You wouldn't risk touch attacking the outside centre channel so much. The bigger risk is that if your scrum is back pedaling or you don't take the line-out cleanly/at the back then it takes longer to get the ball to the 13 and that means the defence is better prepared for it. The opposition backs have played a bit together but they won't be the cohesive unit that the Spirit are. Mullins/White at 12/13 is a new pairing for Brissie.

I see Wykes is just as ineffective in the level below super rugby

dead set

[westies man]

There was more than one that didn't enhance their reputation, scrum was a debacle and Davis Tevita should have been on long before Turner

Kicking the frikken ball away again!!! FFS! Can't they realise how much better they are with ball in hand!! Still proud of how they did deserved a better ref than that too!

[brokendown gunfighter]

dont blame the ref--we were monstered in the scrums & he didn't give us a yellow card

Yes that's true just shows yet again that the Force need to get a couple of big arsed bastards in the team or the same will continue aka blues game.

I wonder where our scrum went today?

Pretty poor from the Spirit tonight.

Destroyed at Scrum time. Kicked the ball away too much and when they ran it they looked a bit slow.

Outplayed all over the park really.

I wonder where our scrum went today?

Two weeks in a row our scum was monstered. Vey disappointing. Not all the collapses were the Spirits fault mind you. Old story ref decided we were bad, which we were to start with, so were responsible for everything wrong in the scrum area until the last 10 mins.
Just proud that the boys made it to the final and only lost by a try.

I wonder where our scrum went today?

Ollie wasn't able to do a single thing to stop the oppo loose head from turning in and getting him side on. Pek was having trouble with the pressure, it all went to shit very quickly.

Joe Savage seemed to be more of a victim of other people's errors than anything else.

[chibi]

Sometimes I wondered whether the penalties were given depending on which side of the scrum the ref was standing.
