Clear YC for me.
-
@antipodean without a doubt a yellow. It's in South Africa too, so you know it was replayed on the bigscreen 47 times. How was it missed?
Not a red though.
-
shocking it was missed, late shoulder and high, looked like contact with his chin...while I think YC is sufficient, if it had been given a RC it wouldn't have surprised me either.
-
you reckon it's high? I don't, i reckon he hits his shoulder, and the head snaps from there.
BOOM! Cha-hooo!
-
@mariner4life I reckon there is brief contact chin-shoulder before the snap....when put alongside plenty of others we have seen called 'high' that is high all day.

@mariner4life I reckon if you pause on the first contact it gets his chin clean as.
Solid hit but!

@mariner4life pfft....I'm not the one making the game soft bro!

I don't think that that tackle from Taniel Tupou was significantly less serious than Van Vuuren's tackle on Dmac. Van Vuuren got 3 weeks. Tupou a warning.
Edited to italicize the word "significantly". I don't think the difference between these two tackles justifies the huge difference in sanction.

Nah. Van Vuuren's was much later with a swinging arm.

@mariner4life See my edit to my previous post.

while i can understand your view, i personally see them as being very different. Despite my esteemed fellow posters' opinions below, i still am not convinced TT hits him in the head. It's also barely late enough to be called that.
Whereas Thuggy van Roidrage was waaay late, and his swinging arm definitely hit Mackenzie in the head.
I thought the Bulls guy should have been red carded, while TT should have been yellow carded (and the officials fucked up by not doing those things on the day). And that is a distinctive difference.

@mariner4life You Queenslanders always have each others backs.
TBH, I'd need to see more camera angles rather then just the gif, but I thought that was a pretty harsh shoulder charge flirting with being too high.

flirting with is not actually doing (a distinction i am sticking too, everywhere)

That's why I'd like to see more camera angles. The gif made it look like it could possibly be high without actually showing that, another camera angle would confirm either way (and as I didn't see the match I don't know).

Tahs v Blues in May has been moved from SFS to Brookvale (where Manly league play) due to A League final.
So now the game is being played in a part of town that is awful for most of Sydney to access in a woeful suburban ground - all grandstand seats allocated to members so its overpriced embankment for the rest.

My mate lives above Brookvale, so it'll be a decent day out for me, he'll cook up a BBQ, wander down and watch the game.
At least it wasn't moved to Homebush.
