Premiership 24/25 - Round 7

[Reiser99]

No that was flat, all good.

Feels like Joe Heyes has really finally had his breakout season this year only 25 but already got a lot of experience finally seems to have overtaken Cole

Was going to ask about this actually, everytime I have seen him this year he has looked solid. Great to see him coming good.

Last pass looks tight but the goal line a good indicator

 

[Booboobang]

Come on now...

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Crazy law that imo understand it if like within 3m of the catcher but that far out seems pointless and hard to manage

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's pedantic

Ford getting strapped up,
6:2 curse is stretching it's legs

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Easy to forget how young he is because he's been about forever - 25 is still a baby for a tighthead prop

Don't think he helps he's not as "dynamic" as other young props

 

[Reiser99]

Kinda wondering how teams will adapt to avoid those because refs have been given clear instructions to watch for it.

I guess tell players not to walk towards the catcher if they want to walk then go away

It's dumb though

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I've always been a big proponent of letting the ball go if it's available at the scrum, but considering how the previous scrums have been reffed....

That just feels not feasible though... need to move back so you arent offside, if you know your player is coming forward and you arent anywhere near him why are you going to sprint... all that will happen is more seeking out a man to run into.

Yeah consistency is a bit rough, especially when rodd made an adjustment to previous feedback.

But I guess isn't that just being a lazy runner? Why not just walk away from the kicker if you are wanting to walk?


On paper I can see what they are wanting to do to stop players congesting the space Between the teams

Maybe, or just smart if you arent actualy impacting play.

On paper yeah, but when a player isnt anywhere near the reciever... just asking for players to take the **** when really we want to avoid the footballification fo trying to milk decisions.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Don't know why we've started Rodd when he's been out for almost three months, he's definitely the kind of player that needs to grow into his form

Guess he just needed 20mins to get loose

 

[Booboobang]

If rodd and heyes could both really hit their stride going into their mid 20's that would be excelent for england.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dream start to the half,

Can't let complacency set in now we've got the BP though

 

[Booboobang]

What a turn around, didnt expect this outcome after the first 10.

Tom roebuck is elite, wonder if borthwick dreams of him, freeman and steward back 3 and just kicking everything as high as possible.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nothing in that for me, rugby incident blah blah blah
Penalty at most
