If Luatua deserved red, then Leitch should have had one, too.
Luatua hit a guy high without the ball, Leitch at least got the ball carrier ....
Which had nothing to do with the card, which was given because of contact to the head with force - with his arm.
Leitch hit the guy in the head with his shoulder, with force. Should have been a red card by the new standard, and if Luatua's ban is the standard 4-6 weeks holiday. Let's see how consistent the Judiciary is.
Yeah right.
You reckon hitting someone without the ball shouldn't play a part in these decisions? That's just bollocks.
If the judiciary give him some weeks off then so be it, but I didn't think Luatua should have got as many of his weeks either.
I never said that, nice strawman. The fact is he got a red card because of the new focus on contact to the head.
The one that was ignored for Leitch.
I'm surprised the Leitch one wasn't red. Pickerill will probably get quite a few pointers in his report card for this game although he also had the test level experience of hometown as an AR and Glen Newman has a fair bit of experience as well. I think they should have helped him out a little more as he was finding this quite a tough game in intensity.

@Crucial I've got no skin in the game but you seem to be being a bit of an egg, tough start to the day?
Nah, it's a great start when you get a win in the morning.
The fish were biting hard as well.edit: you may well be right though. Probably shouldn't try and watch the cricket then get up early and watch the rugby with ipad on lap. Need my beauty sleep.

Watching replay.
Few things.
How the fark was that late hit by Bird on TJP not a YC?
When JB made that break, wtf did Gibbons not catch the pass? That was bizzare. They score there, they potentially get within 2 with plenty of time left.
Regardless, Chiefs better team and deserved to win.

Michael Leitch cited for tackle on Riccitelli!
Leitch is alleged to have contravened Law 10.4(e), which is dangerous tackling of an opponent, and the citing commissioner deemed the challenge worthy of a red card upon further review. -
I was surprised he didn't see a red to start with but to equate this 'tackle' with Luatua's is lazy journalism. Yes they both contravened the same law and fall under the same tougher guidelines but they are totally different.
Luatua hit a player without the ball with a swinging arm and made contact with the head. Even taking away the head contact there were factors of being off the ball and dangerous (the swinging arm).
Leitch made a tackle on a ball carrier where he didn't take due care to ensure that there wasn't head contact. He executed a legal act illegally (if that makes sense).
He will cop a ban but I would think that the entry level criteria is different in a number of factors to Luatua's (mid level) and enough to drop it to Low (2 weeks). mitigating factors (record) could even reduce it to one week. -

This rain is ruining the game unfortunately. Its a bit like the fog final its that bad
And I don't mind yellow cards. But how about consistency. Or do they only apply to one side. Dirt by the Chiefs is allowed it seems whereas slipping by Canes players due to the rain isn't
Read this kind of nodding until the last sentence. Then looked who had posted it.
Had an "Aha!" moment.
Winger, you remain awesome.

People still seem to have the crazy idea that a ban is worse than a red card. It seems crazy to me that to receive a ban you have to meet the red card threshold. Giving people a yellow card and a lengthy ban seems to me a more reasonable punishment. I think both Fatialofa and Bird should cop bans but I understand they will not unless those incidents meet the red card threshold.
If Leitch's tackle met the red card threshold and was not punished appropriately then he should have a few weeks tacked on to his sentence. If you get away with foul play during a game, you should be punished more severely. If Luatua gets a red + 4 weeks and Leitch gets a yellow + 1 week when they basically contravened the same standards then that makes no sense. Basically they are saying if you get away with something during the game, you get away with it. You may be punished later but only to the same extent as an incident which was seen during the game.

Hard game to like as a canes supporter. Chiefs are now my hatiest kiwi team.
We were rightly beaten. No complaints. Good for us going forward.
I hate Liam Messam.
He water-boied the shit out of the Canes last night.
The Canes are no longer my second hatiest kiwi team, I think the stench of the Hammettuer has finally washed away.
TBF to the Canes it was a hard match for them to go in to considering they'd only had opposed training runs where the Chiefs had had tough matches against decent opposition.

The Perenara try was incorrectly awarded. His knee hit the ground. Should have gone to the TMO
-
@Crucial I can confirm, much to my surprise, that it actually rained in both halves of the field.
The weather was more akin to what I've seen in games from Wellington than I've ever experienced in Hamilton so don't be using that as an excuse. One team played to the conditions better and won - simple.
I haven't watched a replay of the game but I would have thought that if Leitch is cited Fatialofa should also have been.

Is this about All Bundy's touchdown?

@Tim said in Chiefs vs Hurricanes:
How the hell did he get away with that? At least one of the officials must have seen it.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I assume you mean Bird, but I'm also looking at Retallick in this footage.
