The silence regrading jackson from chief's supporters is deafening</p></blockquote>
It's quite amusing reading this thread.<br><br>
I watched this on recording this morning and I thought Jacko was leaning heavily to the Clan. Perspective huh? -

Title winning defense from the Chiefs. <br><br>
Reminds me of crusaders defense early 2000s when we won the comps with 30-40% possession most games.<br><br>
Sam Cane is the new Reuben Thorne 😉</p></blockquote>
<br>
No need to be insulting...
<br><br>
By crikey what a great game by Cane. I'd like to say he looke McCawesque. But he was Canesque. Huge. Matt Todd could watch and learn how to tackle from him. -

wtf happened to our pen advantage before the crossfield kick. Fucking worst ref in the world reffing the biggest game of the year</p></blockquote>
<br>
Yeah great mark by Smith - would be getting commentators raving at the 'G - but surely there was a penalty advantage that didn't accrue. <br><br>
Fucking hometown Jackson. Looked after ther Highlanders all night... -

Haha, James Lowe with some quality finishing.</p></blockquote>
<br>
That was slow and laboured work on the inside by Tamanivalu. He looked poor all night. -

Another of these "ball knocked out" calls. Fucked if I know what way they'll call it.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Correct ruling.<br><br>
I really hate the "ball knocked out" thing.<br><br>
If you lose possession regardless of how I reckon it should ruled that you lost possession. If it goes forward then "lost forward".<br><br>
However that went backwards. <br><br>
Fair try. -

<br>
I see it that way too (should be loss of control). Only saw a replay of it this morning and agree not forward so play on -

<p>Tackle success rate</p>

<p>Cane: 91%</p>
<p>Todd: 94%</p>

<p>I think Todd will be fine ;)</p> -
<p>it is a tricky one. i don't think you really want to encourage people to deliberately hit the ball out of other players hands. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>if that went backwards for one team it went forwards for the other. if it came off their hand and they were not trying to catch it, which it did - then that is a deliberate knock on close to the line and is a yellow card and penalty try.</p> -
<p>fark, I said that it went back in real time, jeez you guys are slow :)</p>

<p>It is a nice stat but tell me about the quality of the tackle. Compare a Kaino tackle to whoever.</p> -

Feel for Cane. He was huge in the 2nd half. Real 'follow me' performance. <br><br></p></blockquote>
<br>
2nd half? ... well yes but he was just as good in the 1st -

Almost?
