'Early season identity crisis': Same old Melbourne Rebels just cannot seem to kick their tired and costly habits
While fans may have anticipated an exciting game based on some big-name signings, the Rebels failed to create a cohesive unit for effective rugby.
Sorry not talking about penalty volume I’m talking about how they look in the flow of a game. The Brumbies while they did not concede that many overall, in matches most of the time conceded more than their opponent. There are a few structural reasons why the Brumbies games tended to have fewer penalties all round but my point is more you’d rather a game where you concede 10 penalties and your opponent concedes 15 than one where you concede 8 and they concede 3. Essentially the Brumbies played in low penalty games but had a negative penalty differential.
