@gt12 12 is a physical position and if he believes he is not up to it I think that says a lot.
I don’t know the whole story but Dagg mentioned it earlier in the season before one of the games. I dont think its about ‘not being up to it’ as much as not wanting to get completely bashed around (which happens at 12).

Could be fears about concussion:

A player must not tackle an opponent who is not in possession of the ball.
Sanction: Penalty
The whole dangerous play section says penalty. Once that penalty is decided you decide if it warrants more.
To me that was a prime example of why tackles without the ball are considered dangerous. Plus the player was injured to the point that they couldn’t continue.
Deserved more than a penalty IMO@crucial said in SRA Round 9: Crusaders v Blues:

Deserved more than a penalty IMOThe injury was caused by the way he landed not the contact. Penalty only for me. Unlucky though.
Wouldn’t have landed like that if he was ball carrying and expecting a hit though. That’s why it’s dangerous to tackle off the ball.

Sotutu is the best midfielder the blues have out there.

Another missed opportunities from the Blues , Once Clark got into space , the support runners should have been working overtime to get the breakdown..attention to detail again

@mattasaurus at least he knows how to time his pass

Leicester F has been good at 13.
It’s his best position by far.
Shocker by Mo’unga

Telea another auto selection.....
Maybe they've got a quota, a minimum penalty quota

That was a nice little shift of play in behind the Crusader defender for that last run he made.
