QF: Brumbies v Hurricanes
-
Haven’t read the whole thread but the Canes backs looked more like a first game team finding their connection than finalists.
Have to wonder if Cameron was the problem. Not that he played badly, just a lack of game time with the others.
As mentioned Jordie was pants. Showed nothing then topped it off with a bad decision on attack. Certainly not showing what we need in the AB 12 jersey -

from Reddit, looks like the final call was a good one. A second hand under the ball
great finish. Brumbies looked the better side - kicked better, and just smashed everything in front of them. That Canberra crowd is classically feral
Looks to me like he scored there. You just can't see the other part of the ball. No try correct decision.

I'm comfortable with the decision. Much of the first half was about self inflicted wounds and poor game management. When we had the chance to steal it we fluffed our lines

Looking forward to watching Barrett tonight. Had some big moments last week.
That comment was a kiss of death.
Jordie was very average. No punch, nothing.He has two problems - he just runs straight and hard all the time ( no subtle variations ) and his decision making has always been mixed ( prone to brain fades ). But he has strengths - he runs straight and hard, has a massive boot.

I just don't think the way we've played has suited his game. The midfield does not run it up and set a target for the forwards, the canes rely on forwards in the backline or at first or second receiver running it up

Hurricanes need some locks and loose forwards who put in dominant hits on defence.
We've needed those since Jerry
Well they have got Brad Shields and Reed Prinsep on their books, do they fit the bill? Is TK Howden still around next season?

I don’t buy that. He didn’t bend the line last night. Drifted sideways a bit and that took away his main power. Hardly used his boot at all.

Hideous. Rieko would get accused of being a winger...
It's one of those rare occasions where the outcome of the match was entirely in the hands of one player. And Jordie bottled it

@Bones said in QF: Brumbies v Hurricanes:
@canefan it's hard to understand what he was thinking, but is that Lolesio he's running at? Players are often told not to risk the pass if it's pretty much a sure thing themselves...
Hopefully he will never do this again. Pass and it was almost a certain try. Go for it, much less than 50/50.
