RugbyPass really roasting the Chiefs recently.

They spent the early part of the comp defending Gats in a couple of articles.

Stargazer

Geez, Solomon Alaimalo out of the comp as well.

@Stargazer Clarke has his path to the ABs figured out then.

Yeetyaah

@Stargazer thanks to Clarke being a grub. Wonder if he'll be out for the Mitre 10 cup as well.

Gratuitous upvote cos Bond is fucken awesome. 58 years and still going strong as a franchise. Wow.

@Yeetyaah I'm watching the play now and I honestly don't think it was on purpose. It looked like Clarke just lost his balance.

Bones

@Dice While it certainly wasn't intentional, there was no duty of care.

I feel dirty agreeing with Treason but those types of incidents need to be eliminated. There was a good example in the SBHS-Kings HS game today (on the video I posted). A penalty at halfway should be given more often.

@Bovidae

I saw that - the game had a bit of grub from both teams with a few cheap shots.

@Bones

I’m not entirely convinced it wasn’t intentional; but he clearly knew right away how bad it looked, and he showed genuine concern for Alaimalo - after ruining his should of course.

Bones

@gt12 yeah, I guess intention may have been there to soften his own landing and not care about Alaimalo, but not an intention to do damage.

Yeetyaah

Anyone know who the middle guy is?

yep, but yo uhave to be consistent.

Tell ya what, if you penalised/carded people for yelling at the ref it'd clean it up pretty quickly

@nzzp TJP would have to have his own chair.

No idea. They must be pulling in extra players for opposed trainings.

@Bovidae

That's too light

I'd have Clarke sin binned Reckless plays like that piss me off

No chance of preventing a try being scored Attacking player is exposed & can't defend themselves

Does anyone know the status of Nankivell's contract? How long he's signed for the Chiefs for?
