Game over.

Always a case of Blues squeezing with power players in forwards. Rugby is still about the forwards winning up front.

Nah, he's looking to wrap, ball carrier is kinda low and it's sort of a glancing blow.

Not a RC for me.

Hilarious. Did you represent Swinton?

[Toddy]

@gt12 I think because DMac had no mitigating circumstances. Even 50/50 ones. It was a shoulder charge to the head of an upright player without the ball.

[KiwiMurph]

Great kick Hunt

[Bones]

Fuck how fucking dumb is Marshall. They just had a scrum you dick.

[Kruse]

Jesus, Marshall continues to impress.
Lineout... “who's gonna throw this? Back in the day, the scrum half...”
... they just had a scrum, you fucking muppet. There's clearly a replacement prostitute on already.

[gt12]

@toddy

I think mitigating circumstances are in the eye of the beholder.

[Yeetyaah]

Easy red. Bye Heem.

[KiwiMurph]

Heem you idiot

[Nevorian]

Yep could be red

[Yeetyaah]

Actually maybe not.

[gt12]

If that’s a red then rugby is fucked.

[antipodean]

They'll say yellow because two players have collided.

[Nevorian]

No your right

[KiwiMurph]

Lucky Blues

[Yeetyaah]

At least a yellow. Penalty only is a bit soft.

Or they'll mitigate it down from a red to just a penalty

They are. I'm astonished tbh but well done Pickerill.

Still neither decision is applying the foul play principles correctly.

[Gunner]

I’m behind the play, but I’m unsure how Dixon’s tackle is only yellow.

No malice he says, but most red cards we see these days have no malice, so it’s irrelevant.

[No Quarter]

That was clumsy and careless, should have been yellow. The comms are idiots.
