Was a mile forward and were lucky to get 3 there, but lets be honest, Ash Dixon should have seen red for what he did.
And Heem yellow?
For falling over? Not even a penalty
Tight game, enjoying it at the club
He made himself fall over by trying to shove Nareki out of the way

Game still over. Highlanders endeavour just isn't gonna overcome blues power. Especially with these mistakes and poor decisions by leaders.
One thing I've noticed about Parkinson which must count heavily (geddit) against him...his concrete boots look even heavier than the ones Papalii used to wear.
Nareki playing his way out of AB selection musings.

I’m behind the play, but I’m unsure how Dixon’s tackle is only yellow.
No malice he says, but most red cards we see these days have no malice, so it’s irrelevant.
Just wait until you see a red mitigated to a penalty 😬
I cannot believe that we started at red when a guy literally tripped over, versus yellow for a tackle where a guy aimed with force to hit the key playmaker of the opposite team in the head with his shoulder.
To be fair, the shoulder to head did start at red, they just wrongly mitigated it down to yellow saying it wasn't directly to the head.
If it wasn't direct contact to the head, the starting point isn't red, but yellow.

Refs got the Heem call correct.
Clearly the impact with Nareki caused Heem to fall into that one. To card someone for a complete accident would be setting a fucking awful precedent.

@act-crusader Nah pretty hard to give that one yellow when Nareki's contact forced the slip imo.
If it got given yellow however, I could see the reasoning behind it but penalty only fair call imo.
But it was Heem's contact that forced the slip....hence Nareki getting bumped off away from the contact...

I’m talking about the discussion on here - without checking the thread it felt like the starting point was (generally) YC unless you were supporting the Blues while the Heem one was almost automatically RC - when he literally fell over.

You guys saying this must have seen different footage to the replays I saw. His shoulder literally smashes into the guy’s head. With force. Intentional force.

@bones Caused by Nareki running him off the ball.

Heem made the contact from what I saw. Heem’s play was in the careless category and we’ve seen that punished with cards when a player is in the air and there’s been a collision like that.

Clear that Heem changed his line and initiated contact. He then fell over and took out legs of jumper. Yellow all day.

Not sure why Christie kept kicking with the Blues up a man at the time.
Especially when they’re on attack only 35-40m out from the tryline. Idiot.
Also can’t remember which commentator was saying he’s the best kicking 9 in the Blues squad - his kicking has been awful.
Nock is head and shoulders better than the other two 9s when it comes to the box kick. And he can’t even get a game. -

Nareki maintains his line.

Half time
Refereeing is a goddamn joke. Offsides ignored, swimming up the side of mauls permitted, clear red card turns out to be yellow and a clear yellow into a penalty.
Christie: Slow to rucks, even slower to move the ball. Box kicks are contestable because they're only going forwards 10m which begs the question; why bother?
