Putting aside our allegiances and whether or not there should have be yellows or red cards, isn’t it good to have a full compliment of players on the field for the sake of the game.

It's a breathe of fresh air when we all take off our lawyer's hats and judge the collisions with common sense and game awareness in mind. Captain's agreeing, and not whinging was great

Merhts talks a lot of shit.

Claims Nareki should have penalised for the Heem/Hunt clash.

Wtf.

Well if going on my post above it was him who caused Heem to trip by not pushing back...

The Aussie water has gotten to his brain….

Blues have made 30 tackles vs. 79 for Highlanders, according to Sky. Is that right?

You guys saying this must have seen different footage to the replays I saw. His shoulder literally smashes into the guy’s head. With force. Intentional force.

You don't get better examples of high tackles meriting a red card.

Clear direct contact. Check.
Reckless. Check.
Avoidable. Check.
High force. Check.
Line of sight. Check. Unimpeded.
No sudden and significant drop or movement. Check.
Clear attempt to change height. Check. In fact Dixon started high and drove higher.

No no no, that was a glancing blow, you see.

[KiwiMurph]

Great run Akira

Line dropout is worst rule change.

[Gunner]

I hate goal line drop outs.

[Gunner]

That was a blatant professional foul from Parkinson.

I'm intrigued to see the footage that has the head as secondary contact.

@bones Caused by Nareki running him off the ball.

Eh? End on footage clearly shows Heem veering in to Nareki running straight, then they go shoulder to shoulder and either Heem wins, or Nareki isn't careless and realises he's going to collide with a player in the air so veers off. Heem falls over due to not being able to lean on Nareki.

Falls over in the opposite direction of the guy he was trying to lean on?

[KiwiMurph]

Nice miss otere

@bones I'll look on reddit after the game for a vid.

From the side you can see shoulder coming up, glancing of shoulder. Lucky.

[gt12]

How on earths is PPP still on the field?

[Yeetyaah]

GCT with the no arms tackle.

[KiwiMurph]

[antipodean]

Jesus Heem, hold the ball.

They called it secondary contact because it wasn't the first contact. But it was the first contact his shoulder (that was always going directly at the player's head) made, so it is a completely ridiculous interpretation of secondary contact.
