@Smudge sometimes you're unlucky.

These scrum penalties are unfair! What else are the Highlanders supposed to do if the can't hold the blues! Bullshit refereeing.

This is like arguing with Joe Wheeler.

Why are you arguing with Joe?

Look it's bloody simple. KT was offside, he effected play, it doesn't matter what effort he makes. Sure, Smith could've gone the other way, run around him or not looked for that pass because KT was blocking it. Sounds like a great deal for the Highlanders there.

Happy to go with the not fair call if it gets us off some scrum pens though.

No he didn't. Smith threw himself to the ground to make it look like he did.

BTW affected

Why didn't Smith throw the pass sooner? KT was in the way.

BTW think again 😉

Because he wanted to soccer the penalty

I googled first

[Tim]

Take another scrum?

[booboo]

How was that not advantage?

[Gunner]

Holy shit that was a looooong advantage for a knock on!

[Nepia]

Is that a scrum advantage? That's nearly 20 metres.

[Tim]

Surely advantage over?

[Bones]

No. He looked left and was blocked from the pass, so started to try to work his way left to go around, then decided to milk.

I swear I was told a couple of years ago that either is fine!

[Frank]

Anyone think Mikaele Tu'u will make the ABs?
He is very consistent.

[Dice]

We have 4 locks on the field now.

[number9]

Why go back for a scrum should have been advantage over. Another b.s call.

[Crazy Horse]

I have no problem with longish advantages otherwise we will see teams playing for the scrum/penalty instead of having a go.

[Bones]

Blues milked that. Bullshit call.

[Gunner]

Are two of them tall enough to play loose forward?

[Siam]

yay, Pierce and Whetton at lock again

If he doesn’t , it won’t be due to lack of ability

[Tim]

@Gunner Carroll is more like 6'4" or 5?

Fell over something that wasn't there? Like the Clan scrum....

[Tim]

@Siam Love it.

I actually think he's been dipping a bit in recent weeks, but of course I'd love to see him make the ABs.

But what else could the Highlanders do! Might as well not be on the field.
