Why did Joel Reddy come off?

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on October 6, 2009 at 12:55pm

One thing I must have missed in the coverage. Why was Joel Reddy taken off at half time only be brought back on as soon as Inglis scored?

  Can't help but think he shouldn't have been taken off - no way reddy would have let inglis take that ball uncontested

  yep. Was pretty disappointed in Benny for not chasing the bomb back and at least trying to get in the way of Inglis.

I heard that he was concussed in the tackle. It obviously must have been pretty bad for him to come off, unfortunate but that's footy.

I was too pissed to really understand the little things that were happening in the game. But I did see when Reddy came back on!

joel was coccussed in the tackle on finch. doctors call to leave him off. ben smith is definately a second rower after watching the replay he had no idea standing there like a statue inglis was made to look better than he deserved
