Highlanders v Reds

The Landers haven’t quite had the season they would’ve hoped, but Harmon has been one of the standout players. His workrate is high, low error rate, hits with a bit of sting.
Criminal that Hunt didn’t pass to Gilbert after making such a good break.

@Bovidae said in Highlanders v Reds:
Frizell was much more involved when he moved to lock as he wasn't playing so wide. He missed a couple of bad tackles before then.
ESPN says 21 tackles with no misses for Harmon.
Was it last week or the week before that Frizell played at lock. I thought he played really well in that game.

@Kirwan can't find a clip of it sorry. Was late in the first half though I think.
To be fair he was definitely going in low and I think you could justifiably argue it down to penalty only.
But you'd need to have a look first to do that.

@KiwiMurph I think Makalio was pretty reckless going in with no arms but he was super low. Frizell then went in shoulder first right on top of Vest' head. Was surprised at the time that Frizell didn't cop a yellow. Could have argued one for Makalio too. It happened at 29.21 in the first half but can't find it in any replay.

@KiwiMurph that's an unfortunate accident.

@KiwiMurph yeah, both tacklers bent right over going low…ball carrier just doing the same

Will be very happy if the Poms continue to ignore Freddy ...
He's 33 mate, he made England when he was in his prime.
Yeah. But he's way better than Smith
The bulk of the evidence from this year would make that claim dubious.

Yep he it wasn't Frizzel that did tackle, was Makilio and Vest seemed to actually fall into Frizell , but I will be happy if he cited and it looked at I am proven wrong.

So Reds have lodged a formal complaint for the following:
- Failure to cite the tackle after the match (pretty debatable - could easily argue it didn't meet the red card threshold)
- They rushed Connor Vest off the field despite a neck injury being signalled.
Given every fluffybunny and his dog knows you don't move a person with a neck injury the second is pretty fucked.

Its the second point that's the serious one for me... If neck injury was signaled then everything should stop... No ifs, buts etc
