Not Rob Simmons

@harlet Bowen’s try stopping tackle on Pritchard was so good that it even stopped the Tahs from scoring. I think they bombed about 50+ potential points, but you can’t just write off the Brumbies defence. Probably a bit of both preventing Tahs from scoring.

@NotRobSimmons Never seen (and I've seen a lot of Tahs seasons) a team more allergic to scoring tries. I think they bombed 9(!!!!) last week

“Bowen/Walton dummies to Suaalii… takes the contact… and…. Penalty against the Tahs for holding on/knock on Waratahs” Can’t wait to hear this 6-8 times this weekend

@balumbah Pietsch could probably win this game by himself. Hes been immense lately. Love watching play, just not against my team.

Great side

@IBloodyLuvRugby Even if the Tahs win, there will still be some type of losing element like a major injury or 4 reds cards or something. It’s genuinely a skill at this point.

@NotRobSimmons We may not be playing for sheep stations now but a win is a win!

@MattDabron So consistent! My favourite Waratah chant at the stadium is “YYYYeeeeaaahhh😀……😒awwwwww🥲” as we are about to score and then don’t.

@NotRobSimmons If only games were won on paper Tahs would be the best in history Constantly the best team on paper, Constantly the most underperforming team But hey, at least we are consistent 🤷

@IBloodyLuvRugby Go where? They didn’t make the finals either 📉🥲

@NotRobSimmons I cant wait to see it either-Go Force!!!!

@MattDabron I’m a broken record with this. I’m not a fan of the Tahs because I like the Tahs. I’m a fan of the Tahs because I hate myself. This is also useful for Wallaby results. Thank you for attending my Ted talk

@NotRobSimmons 🤦‍♂️ I know it's tuff being a fan 😕

@TheRugbyIssue @underdognewsau The impact that Warner Dearns has had in super rugby is jarring to witness. He is everywhere and should probably be player of the season. He’s a nightmare in the lineout for other teams, his ball carrying is damaging, passing, charge downs, and he’s even scoring tries. 🦒 💪

Begs the question, who is the best player currently representing a Tier 2 Nation? I have: 🇹🇴 Big Ben, Charles Piutau 🇼🇸Miracle Faiilagi, Jacob Umaga, Theo McFarland 🇯🇵Warner Dearns, Dylan Riley 🇬🇪Davit Ninashvilli, Beka Gorgadze, Beka Gigashvili 🇫🇯Joshua Tuisova, Kalaveti Ravouvou, Salesi Rayasi, Jiuta Wainiqolo,Tevita Ikanivere 🇵🇹Nicolas Martins, Vincent Pinto Who am I missing? 🤔 #Tier2Rugby #WorldRugby

@pTah_XV Same and I was a Sydney FC member for 8 years and follow them on Instagram. Had no idea.

Until I saw a tweet this morning, I genuinely had no idea the A-League GF was on. Highlights the how insular social media news has become. Lessons for rugby in Australia and the need for wider promotion to the non-followers.

@MooConqueror @brumby_fan Seriously, who would you drop so Muirhead plays?

@NotRobSimmons @brumby_fan Muirhead and Pietsch aa wings. The Wallabies squad will be selected in the Randwick board room and be full of under performing Waratahs

I know Sean Maloney loves his Tahs but this is getting to Phil Kearns level cringe. Nauseous

@Nelsonhdale Potter should be nowhere near a gold jersey. He’s been mud for the Tahs.

Nothing against the man, but on current standings, these are the blokes id pick in the back 3 above Lomax currently Wright Jorgo Daugunu Pietsch Toole Potter Lancaster Campbell Ryan Grealy Muirhead Honestly Pritchard and Harvey Potentially Nawaqanitawase

@TalksRugby Nah. Prefer whatever winger can’t make the run on side to shuffle round. If Wright is 100% then Pietsch and Jorgo. If he’s not, Jorgo to FB and Toole to the wing.

With Wright still likely to take some time to before regaining confidence in his knee... is Jock Campbell the best option for the Wallabies 15 jersey? Smart player, running and passing game, and in rare form. #MOAvRED

@MooConqueror @brumby_fan The one thing we don’t have an issue with is wingers. Muirhead ain’t good enough. Who would you drop out of Pietsch, Jorgo, Toole, or Daugunu?

@brumby_fan @NotRobSimmons This man should play for the Wallabies.

@HuwTindall Wow Uru was awful today. Hands like feet and MIA across the park. Canham should make Thomas carry his bags home since ruining his try after that perfect dummy pass.

Without JYD and Canham the Reds don't win that. JYD have a season after a quiet 2025 and how the Reds missed Canham at lineout and around the park. Seriously athletic. #MOAvRED

@martyaskew Especially with Harvey’s accuracy lately. I think he’s our best kicker in Australian Rugby atm.

@NotRobSimmons My biggest gripe is never taking points. Scoreboard pressure is a thing. I think I counted 15 they left out there. ‘Here’s a gimme 3, nah we’ll take a dumb quick tap and walk away with 0 thanks’

How could any team expect to win when they pretty much bomb (by my count) 9 tries!?!? Tahs certainly didn’t deserve it tonight. Haven’t deserved it most nights. #WARvBRU

@mward1246 @OGHustle_Rugby Well we won the comp that year so it was a year off from the usual pain 🤌

@NotRobSimmons @OGHustle_Rugby Only then Rob?? Newcomer to this kind of pain!😂😂😊

I know I said I was done after the Landers game, but the Tahs social media content around Apolosi Ranawai this week has got me believing again. If he can make it from Nandi>Suva>Malaysia>NZ>Wollongong for Rugby League>Norths>Tahs at 32yo, Tahs can win this #WARvBRU

@CaudalRaphe Well as a Tahs fan, I know I hate myself, so maybe it’s just a cultural thing

@NotRobSimmons Just not good enough. How do they do it? Is it self hate? Do they just hate McKellar that much? Basic skills and rugby nous almost nonexistent

@brumby_fan @ProblemGamblor @rugby_podcast Best I can do

@NotRobSimmons @ProblemGamblor @rugby_podcast I don’t want pod I want the hat god dammit 😂

I like Sean Maloney, BUT to say Lawson Creighton has been outstanding this season is wild! Turbo dogshit is how I’d put it #WARvBRU

@NSWWaratahs I’ll tell the children

Fans on field post-game is cancelled due to weather and safety concerns.

@brumby_fan @ProblemGamblor @rugby_podcast I can’t find the actual episode but here’s the name of the pod

@NotRobSimmons @ProblemGamblor @rugby_podcast I want that hat
