That's fucking bullshit. That should have have been 'any reason I can't give the try'

That doesn't exist any more. Sooooo 2016.

It's onfield decision: try vs no try in ref's opinion.

Fair dinkum? Can they not ask that now?

Don't think so.

@Tim dunno, one of the Highlanders loosies is highly over rated but I dont believe it is Squire...

[Tim]

@taniwharugby Ah, of course. It's Pryor.

[Stockcar86]

WTF happened there, the whistle blew before the player went into touch

[Bones]

Good to see Ben Smith joining the idiot kick brigade. That's two at least from him now.

Taminavalu's first contact when he dived on the player on the ground was upper arm to the head. No slipping up, just straight contact.

Nah it was fine, first contact was with his hand.

[gt12]

I reckon Taufua is bloody lucky that Smith moved a tiny bit then.

[taniwharugby]

@gt12 more like Ben SMith was probably lucky...

[taniwharugby]

now a Highlander lucky not to be pinged there.

[gt12]

@taniwharugby

That too.

But here's the thing. Absolutely no reason for him even trying to join there, and shows reckless intent. But, no one is hurt, so fine. Somehow that seems strange when people acting to affect a tackle according to the laws get screwed when the other player slips into it.

[gt12]

Good substitution by Razor there.

[Bones]

Oh good, turnover with plenty of space, give it to that wiley runner Ben Smith...oh he's kicked it away again...

[gt12]

Fuck me, the kicking is one thing, but the shit kicking is another. Smith!

Ooops. Cracker there from Banks though - should have been doing that all game.

[Tim]

@Bones He's had a poor game. Good time to take that sabbatical.

Banks should've started at 10 or 15.

[Wreck Diver]

@Siam The TV producer is a Crusaders fan you not going to see reply's of dry play by the Crusaders

[Bones]

@Tim not a game to be called Smith.

[Bones]

@Wreck-Diver mate those BIL fans really did a number on ya.

[Wreck Diver]

@Bones Not at all the game is refed from the TV truck now days as most ref cant make a decision on there own with out running to the TMO

[gt12]

@Tim

He's not young either, so I'm not sure if he's going to last (I really hope to be proven wrong btw).

Strangely, I wonder whether he have been better to move to 13 this year ala Tana? He's at the age where even the best (e.g. Mils) couldn't hold there place against the younguns.

Haven't noticed Squire since he came back on.
