He's an All Black. Probably won't even be cited.
I hear he’s a good Christian too....

What an idiot. Going to be a ban for sure. How the hell did the refs miss that?
So possibly back to square one for the ABs No1 jersey.

Are you part Aussie?

Also from reddit: Moody's forearm (not elbow?) seems to hit Beale's chest (not his head). May depend on camera angle; obviously, we don't have other angles. Would also need more than one frame. Whatever the case may be, it's not the kind of thing I like seeing in rugby, but it may affect the type of offending he'd be cited for (if cited at all & entry-level of the sanction).

@Stargazer Nothing in it.
Too early.....
-
@act-crusader Frame by frame, it looks less serious than I initially thought. The square frame used on reddit is also a bit misleading, because you cannot see the movement from Beale before that first frame. If you look at it in the YouTube video, you can see that Beale first moves in the direction of Moody and then suddenly stops at the same time as Moody moving forward (Beale standing in-between him and the posts). What makes it look ugly is Moody leading with the forearm/elbow. If he had just fended him off with his hand, there would be absolutely nothing in it.
-
The 4th and 5th frame look pretty damning. No need for that kind of filth in the game.
-
Just watched the video and it's even worse. How the fuck the ref and tmo missed that I've got no idea. Worst bit of reffing this season so far.
-
@toddy yeah looks worse in real time than frame by frame"...can't believe the normally over officious TMO missed it let alone the ref.

Would you still think the same if was Akira elbowing Evans?

@unite said in Crusaders vs Waratahs:
Link here to Moody elbow
That's hopeless. Even if he'd just gently pushed him in the chest, how the fuck does that try causing obstruction get let fly. It was probably 'immaterial'.

Don't be such a dickhead. Moody should be - and has been - cited. The only reason why I said it looked less serious than in real time/speed is that the first impact seems to be with the chest, not the head/neck. I've also said that there may be other camera angles that we haven't seen. The footage that we are able to see isn't conclusive, but it looks bad. Do you always only read the first sentence of a post or do you suffer from dyslexia?

So what do we reckon he'll get?
4 weeks for an early guilty plea, discounted by 2 weeks for good record, mitigating factors and showing remorse?
-
@taniwharugby If I had to guess, they'd start with 6 weeks and it would end in a 3 week suspension. Might be a week more or less.
Edited to add that my reason for expecting the mid range entry point of 6 weeks is that that was what they started at when they looked at Chance Peni's high tackle on Israel Dagg. Not the same offence, but similar in severity (albeit with a clearly different outcome; Beale could play on, while Dagg got injured and will be out of action for weeks). Peni ended up with a 5-week suspension because of his bad record.
The dangerous tackle from Conraad van Vuuren also started at 6 weeks and ended in a 3-week suspension. Also: Scott Higginbotham.

@stargazer mate, you are so one eyed you make Canerbry look like a Blues supporter
-
Start at 6 weeks.
-2 for guilty plea
-2 for good record
-2 for being a Crusader
-2 for being an All BlackSo two extra weeks' pay for him, courtesy of the judiciary, and a hasty apology for dragging him into this mess.

It’s been a while since the Aussie victim mentality had a chance to shine.
That was an ugly fend, he’s lucky it didn’t do any damage. I’d expect four weeks off for that, but the judiciary is a random number generator so it could be anything from 1-6
-
Striking with the arm has low of two weeks, mid of four, then eight plus for high range offences. If it doesn't hit Beales head then two minus one (they always take off one) if it does then four minus one imo. The high end is for stiff arm tackles I think.
Luckily he wasn't done for striking with the elbow which is 2, 6, 10+

@toddy said in Crusaders vs Waratahs:

So, where exactly do you disagree with my assessment that it should be a 6-week entry point? And what is wrong with my conclusion that it seems that he makes contact with the chest first? Have you seen other camera angles, because I haven't. I'd love to see them.
It's easy to throw dirt at someone and make up arguments about being one-eyed, but I'd like to see where I'm doing that regarding Moody's (alleged) foul play. Or are you just going for the easy upvotes from one-eyed Blues fans?

The ref is watching the Saders backline which were quite deep, Moody was way up in front when he hit Beale. I could almost excuse the ref for not seeing it out of his field of view, but where the fark were the assistant refs and if they can't see that what are they doing there?

You're missing -2 for a heartfelt apology on social media that brings a tear to the eye. Oh wait, no, that's a Wallaby thing.

I didn't watch the game, I assume by what you've posted, Beale got up just fine?

@canefan the blindside AR should be looking at the last breakdown for foul play i.e. where the ball was
The openside AR will be watching offside lines generally, and getting a lead on the potential try scoring - so where the ball will be.
I don't think either bloke is looking for a guy running that far out of the line to cause obstruction.
But the TMO has definitely clocked off there

If Beale hadn't removed the sandpaper off the front of his jersey Moody's hand wouldn't have slipped up into his face in the first place. He's the real victim here

At that moment TMO must have been bending down to pick the hotdog he dropped

Yes. That was really poor, but not particularly by the ref. He has one set of eyes and things get missed in real time, especially now that lawmakers let the 14 other non-ball carriers theoretically produce 14 immaterial offences.
It's the TMO, that must have been replayed a few times? And he missed an obstruction compounded by a forearm.

He’s actually been quite reasonable in his assessment, I think 6 weeks is a fair starting point.
I think you’ve been reading the blues thread and have seen an opportunity to get a few cheap likes by copying the “cool kids”
Pretty pathetic really

@stargazer I agree with your six weeks comment. But I did enjoy your predictable photo stills jumping to the initial defence of a crusaders player. If only you were so defensive of nz players from other teams.

I have defended plenty of players from other teams on the Fern. Maybe you just haven't noticed that because you agreed with what I said on those occasions, or because it wasn't a player from a team you dislike/hate/don't care about?
The only reason I managed to make the stills last night is because of the clip posted on reddit. Someone else posted the link to that clip. I've tried it before with YouTube in other situations, but for some reason I don't succeed in getting good stills from YouTube. I don't think lacking the technology/skills to make stills from YouTube counts as being one-eyed?
Edited to add that I also didn't make the stills of Moody's elbow fend/hit to defend him, but to see what actually happened. The real time clip was way too fast and you couldn't clearly see the point of first contact and whether/where it hit Beale's head. That's what I wanted to see.

Fuck you, Joe!
We need to clone Wyatt Crockett.
Loosehead prop who can play lots of minutes without getting broken and without doing ridiculously dumb shit!
However the explanatory calculations run, he'll get two weeks for that.

Wait, are you sure you're talking about Crockett?
Anyway, think of how ready to go Moody will for the Rugby Championship as he'll have barely played.
