<p>Adrenaline doesn't cause you to limp. Quite the contrary. Usually, adrenaline stops/postpones the pain signal from reaching the brain, where it's translated into a pain experience.</p> -

<p>Yep, words of wisdom. It's settled. Nothing to see here. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest the Chiefs got caught partaking in a bit of gamesmanship.</p>

<p>It is just an accusation with incredibly shaky evidence at this stage. What part of what I said do you think is untrue? or irrelevant?</p> -

<p>Yes, multiple times. Not that I see the relevance of that question. This was not about whether back injuries (of whatever kind) can cause pain. It was about adrenaline.</p> -

<p>adrenaline masked the symptom (back pain, limp, whatever) and once he stopped, he could feel it, the trainer came over, he said bro, it hurts, but I can probably keep going, trainer says, nah bro, we are getting monstered, is better if you actually come off!</p> -

<p>You don't see the relevance of Sciatica to a player coming off the field for back pain? :think:</p> -
<p>Well the Chiefs have used that get out of jail card relatively early in the season. Still have Moody, Franks and the lads to face. Don't think you could do Golden Oldies twice in 1 season without raising eyebrows.</p>

<p>Okay, yes, I misunderstood your comment. It's quite possible that it happened that way. That's why I said it looked dodgy in a previous post, but that I would prefer to see footage of earlier in the game.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>By the way (and this is not a response to you taniwharugby), calling something dodgy doesn't mean an accusation; just that it does look suspicious and that there is a need to find out whether there is a reason for accusations.</p> -

<p>I don't care if he was injured or not, but it does raise a problem for the rest of the comp.</p>

<p>As a supporter of the team with the best scrum in the comp, I don't want this to happen to us every time we get a significant advantage at scrum time.</p>

<p>Nah, they just set up the fact that due to a horrendous run of injuries their propping stocks are quite low and the guys they have aren't equipped to play both sides. I think that next time the ref will let them play with 15 out of pity. Crafty.</p> -
<p>This interview with Rennie confirms what I said before; the footage starts too late and it's necessary to look at what happened before that line-out.</p>

<p>I am sure you will correct me if I am wrong, but it seemed to me you were dismissing the accusations point blank. There is enough evidence to warrant a further investigation if the relevant authorities can be bothered. To categorically dismiss the possibility the Chiefs tried to manipulate the rules to their advantage is as foolhardy as convicting the chiefs on that evidence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I suspect it is stone they will leave unturned. For one, it will be incredibly hard to prove without admissions, and two, I am sure every team has done something similar. Do they really want to open that can of worms? </p> -

<p>Fair enough Dave, that was a very good response - can I suggest the team doctor checks for sciatica, might save some diagnosis time later on? ;)</p>
