Blues v Rebels
-
@gt12 go back to work,it will be more fun
-
@steven-harris I just enjoyed securing my deck furniture in the rain
-
The reoccurring nightmare continues,we all know how the movie ends,but we still watch it..!.
I reckon the best comment was if the Blues bought 99% percent of the tickets in a raffle,the winning ticket would be the one they did’nt buy..! -
A national embarrassment!
-
That information I got about Collins having great communication was obviously a piss take..fuck me..!
-
@donsteppa become an analyst..!

@tim said in Blues vs. Rebels:
The Blues board are all from a retail background (supermarkets),
I understand the concept of ‘loss leaders’ but at the end of the day they’re way ahead on the balance sheet.
On that basis, Blues fans must be in for a huuuuuuuge payday soon. -
Lock Collins up for the next year or two!
-
That was pretty bad from the Blues. They look like disinterested schoolboys at times.
-
Well that game felt like a curtain raiser to the upcoming big game,both teams should be fined for bringing rugby into disrepute..!

They did... with a new 1 year contract.

All this talk of Aura this week, blues better not be fucking with the EP aura.
-
As expected, not a word from the Foxsports clowns about how every call went the Rebels way. Nothing about the forward pass leading up to the first try or the side entry to prevent a certain Blues try. Had it been the other way around...
As for Tana, show some class and step down you useless prick.
Edit: Now they are having a whinge about the Samu issue. Really hope Ireland tear them a new one over the next few weeks.

Righto, a belated match report.
I left early, with 20 to go. My mate decided he'd rather walk down Sandringham road than watch that bunch of overpaid munters try to play any more. I can handle losing, but stuffed if I'm going to sit there and watch supposed professionals just look hopeless and disorganised.
The team is a shambles. THere are occasions where the defensive line sets, and they look good, but it is a flash of mediocrity in a sea of shambles. Honestly, I'm shaking my head at the state of this so called team. We just look disorganised, disconnected, directionless and dire.
I got a coffee at half time. It's a metaphor for the whole organised - three people trying to serve coffee, looking surprised that people came to get a hot drink on a cold night, and serving so slowly that it took nearly 10 minutes - with no queue. Honestly, those staff would cost $60 per hour, and they can't be making any money. Shambolic and poorly trained - just like the Blues.
Righto, so proper comments. In no particular order:
-
Pulu must pass faster off the ruck. Slowish passes just let defences line us up.
-
Three years in and we still ahve no discernable game plan. Fair play, JK didn't have one either, but I'm buggered if I know what we're trying to do.
-
Maul defence and offence is the worst in the comp I think. It was like watching me trying to dunk - no matter how optimisitic I am, I'm still a white guy, and I'm not tall enough or atheletic enough to slam one down. Every single time we kicked to the corner, we coughed it up. Insane. Optimistic, but insane.
-
Refs don't help us, but they aren't why we're losing. I just don't know what the hell is an offense in rugby any more - tipping players is OK now? Running a maul ove rthe line and collapsing it - with Rebesl in from the side? That's no try, and no worries maaaate.
-
Perofeta is a problem, but not the problem. Our problems start up front and don't stop until you get to 15. When the hell we got a powder puff forward pack that can't play set pieces, I don't know. Fark me it's frustrating. We not only have no rugby intelligence, we don't seem to have any muscle either.
-
Akira looks tired and maybe a bit out of condition. If I were him I'd be seriously considering playing somewhere else to get better coaching.
-
We just lost to a team taht i couldn't honestly identify more than one or two players. At home. Where we haven't won all year. In a ground that just got redeveloped, and yet isn't fit for purpose. FML.
-
Weak weak tackling at times lets in tries. It's embarassing for professionals.
Look, I sound bitter, but deep down I'm optimistic about life. When we start winning games it's going to be so sweet - and if we can keep talent for a few years, a decent coach could build a team here. BUT I don't think that's Tana, and I don't think that's the current board.
I'm out. Frustrated, cracked a bottle of aussie shiraz - it's not as bitter as I am tonight
