@taniwharugby said in v Otago:
discipline killing us.
although the first man in there probably unlucky not to win the pen anyway
-
good defence of a not very straight lineout (TBF ref has let a number go both ways)
-
hhhmm, no real release?
-
fuuuckk,
Robinson been in half gaps a number of times tonight
-
bollocks it wasnt out.
-
what a waste of a sub FFS.
-
game there for the taking, but ultimately discipline costing us.
THink a couple of big calls didnt go right; Pryor double movement, at worst he was short, at best it was a try as he moved immediately, hard on attack to then be pinged and then that last one, the Otago player had the ball and ref called it not out.
BUt at the end of the day, we held the game in our hands and let it slide.
27-24

@taniwharugby double bugger. Went to turn the game on and it was finished, and we lost. Can’t even see a replay. Crap.

We lost that game due to extremely poor game management, and a lack of patience.
I understand that they’re playing an attacking game plan and give it a crack, but jeezus, it doesn’t have to be helter skelter for 80 minutes of the game does it? We’ve got to learn when to push that last pass and when not too, it looks like we’re trying to score off every single play at times. Sometimes taking the tackle and and recycling the ball is the far better option than going for the miracle play in traffic.
And the 10 (no idea how to spell his name and too lazy to look it up), isn’t he meant to have a huge boot? If so why the hell don’t we use it on our exit plays?
We put so much pressure on ourselves with shockingly poor exits. Nothing worse than seeing Goodhue grab a beauty of a take then we insist on fucking up that good ball. Every time we scored points we were immediately straight back under pressure.Fix those two issues and we’ll be a bloody tough team to beat.
Goodhue was excellent.
Matich his usual busy self.
Thought Tua looked pretty good on the wing, a nice finish for his try and a couple of nicely taken high balls.
We need to get Hyland involved more, he’s not the quickest but he runs smart lines and has a decent step.
Ranger great again.
Nock was pretty good too I thought.Gaaahhhhh, what a frustrating team to support. The usual great stuff mixed in with the pretty effing stupid stuff.
