Rebels v Crusaders

[Yeetyaah]

Ennor with an extra roll.

[Derpus]

@ACT-Crusader fucken boooooooring.

OKeefe preventing any possible interest being generated by finding a yellow card when Hodge was clearly over the ball.

[Canes4life]

Jeez Mo'unga and Whitelock are going to take some replacing next year. They really are two major pieces to this side.

Way to talk about the positives

[Derpus]

@KiwiMurph which are? I suppose a comp where the favourites win every match would be reliable for a punt.

It's been a genuinely entertaining game. Wonderful skill. Easily Rebels best performance of the season.

[ACT Crusader]

Better intensity in the second half and our subs have made a real impact.

McLeod is a really good player. Smart and runs with a bit sting.

[Derpus]

@KiwiMurph and they lost without a bonus point. Brillo.

[ARHS]

Masterclass from Crusaders. Got a bonus point after being well outplayed in first half. Havili and Ennor were great and Moananu added a lot in last 20. Tamaiti Williams had a great game too.

Carter Gordon and Brad Wilkin are real talents for Rebels.

[Chris B.]

@ACT-Crusader Fergus was quietly having a shocker, so a good move to sub him.

Thought Goodhue was really good, as well. Making good decisions as usual - including not to play a lot of footie in our own 22.

Grace was excellent and the new hooker had a debut to remember - I presume it was his debut, because I can't recall seeing him anywhere before.

[Duluth]

@Chris-B he played in the loss against the Drua

[Chris B.]

@Duluth Wiped from the memory banks!

Definitely not a debut to remember!

[antipodean]

If the Rebels could play for 80mins, they'd be a force in this competition.

[Duluth]

Rebels ran out of gas on defence. Fell off a lot of tackles in the last quarter. The stats were one sided at half time.. the reward came late

The non turnover from Hodge followed by the sin binning of Ekuasi was a big moment

[ARHS]

@antipodean. And if the Force could play 80 minutes they would be Rebels with a cause

[Derpus]

@Duluth O'Keefe watched a tackled player do a full roll toward the try-line and said, out loud, yeah that's fine. So anything goes really.

They lost a bit of direction. Losing Stacey Ili didn’t help on that front given he often sets the tone for how the backline plays.

[ACT Crusader]

@Chris-B the backline we finished with

Heinz, Richie, Macca, Goodhue, Ennor, McLeod, Havili

Far more direct and played really well I thought.

Don’t forget arguably their best in Hardwick aswell. Rebels have the makings of a very good side.
