Blues v Reds
-
Hard game to watch.
Nanai, Ranger, Pat T and TJ were good.Really don't like this ref. He just seems to get flustered and let things go. eg. missing clear knock ons or players off their feet because play moves on quickly. Thought the penalty to disallow the Ioane try was a bit tough. Reds piled over and off their feet.
Don't really see how the offside line moves either because the ball stayed where it was. Surely they have blown past the ruck and out the other side. May have been technically correct but it needs to go in the stupid rule thread if it was.Fully expect Nanai to be dropped for Collins next week. Instead i would be penciling him into the ABs EOYT squad.

@pukunui thought the official was very liberal at the breakdown,and your right,A Reds player was hit in a big tackle,and clearly lost the ball forward just outside the Blues 22.
From the next play the Blues conceded a penalty,which resulted in a try to the Reds from a lineout win and maul.Mind you the Blues are their own worst enemies at times in and around ball retention and discipline when they haven't got the ball.

@African-Monkey As a huge Michael Mann fan, I recognise the Last of the Mohecans potential of Kara Pryor. He was injured for the season until now. Great link player. Could play 7 for international teams like Ireland and Scotland.

Ummm ... my lasting memory from this game ...
... and seriously I've never noticed it before and I thought you Blues guys were going all Winger and seeing conspiracies that didn't exist ... but ...
... jeez didn't TJ want the Blues to lose? It was palpable. As I say I've never noticed it previously, but I can now seewhere you guys are coming from.

@booboo see my post on ticket prices...

Had no idea of the score and just clicked on this thread to check the result. Started reading from when the game kicked off. Have to say that was a highly entertaining way of finding out who won. Some seriously manic stuff there. Still no score though

That's how we roll on the Fern. Too busy trying to make our point, be comedians, rail on the players, abuse the ref, to worry about something insignificant like the score....

@booboo Yeah don't usually notice the biased commentary but did last night. Him and that other Canterbury turd Mel Robinson were commentating as if they had money on the Reds to win.
-
@African-Monkey And to demonstrate what a waste of space Robinson is, she didn't even know who the Reds captain was. When speaking to Quade at HT she said it was Kuridrani who had left the field not Kerevi.

@Rancid-Schnitzel it's a great thread. Full of posters getting pissed off at the Blues and then getting even more pissed off at TJ because he was being a big meany to the Blues.
-
@Crazy-Horse I don't really notice his bias, just more he is a King douche who says dumb shit!
-
@taniwharugby I don't notice it either and I am listening out for it. I do sense he gets frustrated with the Blues, but who doesn't?
