@yeetyaah then Sio flirting with the shoulder line

We were all watching that thinking, ah fuck here we go.

Nareki running well and breaking the line but brain farts when tries to offload it.

Yeah, he forget people can’t keep up with him!

[taniwharugby]

Sio didn't need to off load that

[Machpants]

Just need to complete this line of, hold for a minute

[Kiwiwomble]

Shockingly crooked throw

[gt12]

What the fuck? That was a penalty? Ash’s tackle earlier was much worse.

[Yeetyaah]

@gt12 yeah that's what I was talking about as well.

[taniwharugby]

Some very poor running and passing from the Reds so far

[Machpants]

Beautiful, then Renton fucks it

[Yeetyaah]

Looked forward to Nareki

Do the Reds still have a hangover or are the 4th NZ team really better than the Aussie champs?

[Mattasaurus]

I really thought the reds would have been better....

It's going to be a cricket score in Sydney

@taniwharugby From Thomas primarily. Try aside, bloke has picked the exact wrong thing every play.

I guess the outcome is pretty predictable, picking a 19 yo amateur to play away in NZ. Blah. Same old shit.

[Derpus]

I hope this puts to bed any future plans for a full TT.

I’d say they are pretty tired and a few are missing.

Having said that, this Landers team is quite far away from fielding their best team either.

The gap in skill set is already showing between Aus and NZ teams. The Reds are really missing the likes of Wilson & Petaia. They might need to bring Vunivalu on fairly soon into that second half to try and spark something.

Halftime during the first game.

I’m not that familiar with the usual Reds lineup but this lot look like they just met. Rookie halfback is a good player but not in sync.
Not sure why they aren’t smashing it up at angles close in. I’m sure BBBT will be giving them the message about getting out of their half and stop trying to play cute in attack.

[gt12]

Gregory looks like a different player in the midfield. He’s not small either and has made some good metres.

Is he a 13 as well or primarily a 12? With his speed and size, 13 looks a nice position for him.

I think Gilbert is our six fullback this year

Hunt, ioane, nms, Gilbert, CGB and alaimalo...

Similar numbers on the right wing and midfield
