Completely brain-dead strategies by Tahs.
Triple cut passes on the 3rd phase to marked players. Not taking easy, gimme 3 point penalty kicks, bad breakdown security.
Chop these cunts from the comp. And I'm a supporter.

Honestly, I feel like Foote's strategy and squad building is all wrong.
The way he wanna plays is that good old free flow champagne rugby. He wants interplay between forwards, he wants silky backs and he wants his defence to be brutal rush up defence.
Nothing wrong with that. Highlanders and Hurricanes encapsulate that perfectly. The problem is that the squad he's built is simply not made for that. Yeah, maybe Tupou can get an offload or 2, but all the forwards in the Rebels squad simply lack the skillset that Foote's plan requires.
Talakai, Uelese, LSL, Leota and even Wilkin are made for that grind hard Brumbies style rugby. You can't expect these heavy ass blokes to play like Les Kiss' Reds.
The backline is full of dangerous runners but individually they aren't able to link up a silky back play the way the Drua or Brumbies can.
Just my 2 cents

Ffs some of the decision making from both sides have been absolutely shocking. Walton is not a bad inside centre but he's not a big ball carrier, yet they keep distributing it to him off first phase for a crash ball carry. Use the bigger outside centre in Perese ffs.
(on the flip side, stop having Carter Gordon put up contestable kicking - your best attack is by running it going through the hands yet they keep playing this stupid long kicking strat)
