Was that grounded??

Didn’t look like it to me

Was that grounded??

Took a while but was eventually

 

[Adam84]

TMO clearly said he'd checked it & it was OK.

Was it actually checked though, there was about 10 sec between it happening and that call..

Regardless it was a direct head contact that in other games would warrant a card.. can’t deny this is bullshit consistency when it comes to head contact

 

[Major Tom]

Was that grounded??

My thoughts too

 

[Adam84]

My thoughts too

Classic Damon Murphy

 

[Tomthumb]

What happened to speeding the game up. De Groot having a rest is ok now?

 

[Major Tom]

Wow. What was Anderson doing there!

 

[Micheal]

How did the winger coming across not even get a hand on him? Some of the worst defence I’ve seen

 

[Wallabies]

Lachie Anderson could’ve dived for that

 

[Micheal]

The Reds 14 also got burnt by the halfback earlier in the game, only for Seru Uru to overtake him and make the try saving tackle. Seems to have almost 0 top end speed.

Yeh I saw that

Yellow card for attempting an intercept haha such a stupid rule

 

[Major Tom]

Anyone else catch the 40m pen advantage he afforded the highlanders before ?

 

[Dan54]

Ref doing his best to keep the Highlanders in the game

What??? A Qld ref is trying to keep Highlanders' in game??

 

[Marbig]

Highlanders doing well to control possession, if the reds can get some footy after a bit of a breather should be on for a good second half.

He's still dirty he was never selected for the Reds....

Always hate that one - in that situation if he pulls it off (and it looked to be a genuine intercept attempt) he scores under the posts

Mind you if he hadn't of knocked that on , probably a try as we saw, so should it of been a PT????

 

[Dan54]

Yeah - they said he wasn’t hit in the head when he got concussed too.

The fact Lynagh was clearly rubbing his head suggests the TMO is probably wrong.

I don’t really mind they played on but that is twice now Lynagh has been hit in the head and the TMO has let it go. He must be wondering why he seems to be a free shot.

TMO said he checked it, and it was contact on shoulder first. You could hear it on tv.
