@kev right on the money ,the creativity between the 2 sides was poles apart ,out thought and out coached ..Blues bash v Highlanders creativity an quick thinking
Absolutely. The Blues Coaches need to own this. They have everything they need.
Yep but you could say the same about the Highlanders last week.

@mackerzzzz no it isn't. Its a scrum for kick not going 10
It is when it's at the death like that
Since when?
As per anonymous.
It's not a law it's just what refs will do
I can't say I buy it. If your kicker fluffs it, it's automatically a penalty? Nah.
If you're actually trying to kick it 10 metres it's different though.
You could also says it's bad sportsmanship which is not allowed. It seems like an Australian thing to do. Like bowling an underarm...
No I understand that. But what I can't figure out, is what you're going off for intent. How on earth do you ascertain if a kicker is purposely duffing it? I'm intrigued.

The difference is the absolute riches in the Blues squad. Or maybe the players just aren’t that good?

I guess it'd depend on how quickly you/your team respond to it.
But I just remembered why none of this intent stuff even matters. If the kick doesn't go 10 metres, you get the option of making them retake it. You don't really see that option taken... ever.Wait no, I'm wrong. -
@bones said in SRA round 8: Highlanders v Blues:
Tough lines blues, nothing really going your way tonight but still in it.
Please play like that every week Mitch. No more clangers.
Loosies were the difference, Highlanders trio were huge, Paps was on his own.
And a big thank you to the blues fan that made that blues/crusaders call a few weeks ago, it's been a fun comp since eh?
I’m fairly sure I said that after they beat the landers last time.

You cant that's subjective, not something you can rule on.

Enjoyed that
Hope Gregory is ok, strapped knee makes me flitch a little, he’s been aloud at 12 and could be real good with Collins at 13

Anyone see this? Thought I didn’t but they never mentioned it

A similar thing you can't do is say you're kicking at goal from a penalty then not kick for it. It comes down to whether the attempt looks genuine.
Same with things like intentionally knocking the ball forward or placing/knocking/throwing into touch/dead. They're all subjective as well.

I can see how they could if he say kicked it a metre, but not if he made it look "genuine". Like the penalty shot @Anonymous mentioned, if you clearly kick it straight at the corner, it's pretty obvious.

What am I supposed to be seeing?
-
@bones there is a kfc fans zone, a group get up celebrating and the barrier collapses and the a fall
-
@kiwiwomble ohhh shit....I laughed though
-
Sick of the referrals nowadays.
Well done Highlanders. Dominated in the loosies and front row. Disappointed by some of the illegal intent from the blues forwards. Some A Bs way off top form but all credit to Papalii and Ruru was good too. Harmon is going so well for Landers and Johnstone and De Groot were great today too. -
@kiwiwomble is just doing his job, getting the ball wide, making his tackles (fell off akira though) and cleans alot of rucks.
Think he's def playing to a plan or within himself as a few occasions i thought could step and gas it he drew and passed.
Looked to be running ok later

I see your point but I don’t think a Ref is going to rule on a
Kick off it’s a harder to determine if it’s on purpose or a fuckup. -
