Reds v Highlanders

[Landers92]

Ball handling. Penalties. Standing still catching the ball and shoveling it to the man out of the back, extremely telegraphed and so easy to defend so we are consistently playing behind the gain line. How can we not have any answers at this point?! It’s baffling. Genuinely frustrating and the whole coaching staff need to take some form of blame here. Horrific

Petaia's body just isn't cut out for pro rugby

Not to mention so much just downright baffling stuff that frequently happens - like CGB running at pace and taking the ball running around behind the ruck, who then decides to pass it directly back ten metres to a stationary Millar. Fucking why? What is going on?

[Landers92]

@Bones So glad we are both seeing this. You don’t even see this at NPC level.

The game plan/structure is either way to complex or it’s so dumbed down that there barely is one. Can’t figure it out(neither can the players lol)

For those keeping score over the past four games, it is 90-10 in the first half... scoreless in 3/4...

Could be worse.... Reds could be wearing their ANZAC jersey

[Nepia]

WTF did I just watch? Switch over from an awful Warriors performance to watch a lower half of the table NPC side playing the Reds.

[Unite]

Possibly the worst Highlanders half I’ve seen.

It was a late call to pop down and watch this live, should have stayed at home.

That’s next week

[frugby]

Get Bell, Fakatava and Kneepkens on at HT ffs.

[Machpants]

Jeez I've had enough, can't watch this crap. Maybe me leaving will remove some negative vibes from the Landers - terrible rugby

[Unite]

This prick sitting behind me providing a running commentary to his wife as though he is an international coach as well, hard to take.

[Bones]

@frugby Stodart too

[Landers92]

@Machpants I feel the same. Trying my best to not be negative but wow…. How can you not be

Prob better than Dermody

[Landers92]

@Unite Tell him there’s an opening in Dunedin next season😂

[frugby]

If we can't turn this around, I think it is all but over for Dermody. Another thumping defeat, and confidence would be so low they might not be able to turn it around to even win one singular game - and that would be unacceptable.

We've gone backwards, and you can't tell me Smith and Frizell are worth this much of a drop off...

[Unite]

@frugby

They really do look like they have no idea what the game plan is.

[frugby]

Good. Bell is on.

[Bones]

Is that a sack (our ball) or a collapsed maul (our ball) Jordi Way?
