Hire Experts For Concrete Cutting Making The Best
Concrete Driveways Adelaide is often recommended because of their low servicing. While road needs maintenance over several decades, concrete, once set up and enclosed, needs very little care. However, the concrete costs more than the road to set up, so you do pay a price for the time you will save.

Reds Beat Disappointing Blues Team 14 views 1 Comments
27 April 2012 by The Swede Eaters
 

The Reds beat a disappointing Blues team at Eden Park. Where to from here for the Blues? Do you still support them and go to their games?

The disappointing Blues were beaten 23-11 by the Reds in Auckland tonight. I can't believe I picked them to win, but they were awful. Their ball security was terrible, their defence outwide was exposed and they seemed to be always hitting the ball up from behind the advantage line without really threatening. The Blues looked sluggish and didn't seem to threaten the Reds very often and when they did, the Reds managed to get crucial turnovers. The Blues started awful tonight conceeding two early tries and plenty of early lineouts. They finished stonger than they started, but were still poor. But it seems that any criticism of the Blues and their coaching staff is falling on deaf ears, as is any halftime talk, because they seemed to keep making the same mistakes in the second half. The lineout was poor and Ali Williams should have used his leadership and experience to dominate the lineouts, but he didn't.

The Blues need an absolute shake up for 2013, because they have now lost six matches in a row and Pat Lam's stay at this level looks in jeopardy.

The Reds did play well, but they gave the Blues plenty of opportunities to get back into this game which the Blues weren't skilled enough to accept.

What did you think of the Blues vs Reds match tonight? Are you Blues fans still calling for new blood at the Blues or have you given up?

I was at the game, sitting on the try-line where the reds 'struck twice' (as the commentators are saying) in the first minute. Except it wasn't 'struck', rather sidled on over while gathered to a strumming guitar of waltzing matilda, on vacation speed with a beer in hand. The coach of a school second fifteen would be tearing his hair over such a pitiful defensive effort.

They did tighten up a lot for the most part after that, but they still didn't look even close to a winning team as the offensive power had less potency than a North Korean rocket launch team. Multiple times they had a massive overlap near the line, but the last pass never came - zero vision, little precision, stuttered and average grunt up the middle.

The Reds were no more than average, the Blues left me dumbstruck with easily the poorest exhibition I've ever seen.
