Northland v Auckland
-
@Duluth yeah let's the blame someone who didn't get yellow carded 🙄 our discipline lost the game, not Reihana. If anything it should have been penalty try.

That is a bull shit decision. Disgraceful. FFS. Takes him high in the act of scoring.
Ref called it - not foul play as tackler so low - and they ref it differnetly on the goal line (rightly or wrongly).
Great finish by Northland! Auckland look amazing at times, and then just fade mentally.
But if he tackles legally ( below the shoulders ) Reihana scores.
Whereas Latu gens 10 when player drops to bump him off. Which I don’t disagree with.

@kev northland will probably get an apology later in the week from the officials like usual
Could I interest you in a justice armband?
-
@kev the high tackle stuff is BS, I hate cards, no way that is anything more than a penalty, purely for the head contact.
Dare I say we looked sharper when Nock came on, I'd be tempted to give Nichols a run at 12 and Salmon a start.

@Kirwan reviewing all of Northland tries, but none of Aucklands, just the same stuff every other week for us true Northland supporters

I felt the same for how he reffed the ruck, but if both sides are unhappy with the ref then he probably did ok.

Hmmm this is your 5th account. All talking about the same topic
-
Admin hating on a specific player? Sounds personal @Duluth
-
I don’t hate him I just think he’s shit and he cost his teams games this year.
You’ve created 5 accounts. Seems personal?
-
@Duluth thats your tunnel vision view of sport players. Critics like you ruin the sport when you only speak negatively and don't see tic for tac.
And this is a forum right? My comments shouldn't bother you so much but obviously they do if you keep removing my accounts
-
I haven’t removed any of your 5 accounts (plus 2 renamed accounts) that all defended and/or praised Reihana exclusively
Yes this is a forum and people might say a player isn’t playing well. Particularly if he misses a sitter and dropped the ball scoring a potential winning try

I’m still fucking pissed at that last play.
Reihana copped a high shot, that’s a penalty every fucking day of the week, and probably a penalty try.
Fucking horrendous refereeing!!!!
Me too. Never seen it reffed any other way? It’s always the tacklers job to lower his height esp. on the goal line. NZRFU need to explain that.
-
@kev on another day, another ref awards a PT, today, we get nothing, as above, IMO that is a pen, purely for that head contact, whihc would be consistent with how most other situations like that are ruled.
on the try line, it does beocme even harder for defenders too, as player is going to be going low, so always playing with fire going in like that, which highlights how poor the rules are around this.

I’m sure you won’t believe me but yes I have
Remember the refs flow diagram. First question is was there head contact, second is was there foul play. The third question decides the sanction, the degree of danger. Fourth is there any mitigation.
But the key thing is not every head contact is foul play. If both players are getting low then you can get that ruling
