Highlanders v Reds Sat 22nd March 1:35pm AEST

[TSR]

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

Like they checked the last one when he got concussed and also said no contact.

The fact he was rubbing his head suggests to me the TMO was probably wrong.

Lynagh must wonder why his head is fair game.

 

[Tomthumb]

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

A TMO also said Paisami’s tackle vs Moana in week 2 was also ok, only for him to be suspended for 2 weeks after the game

Yes - I heard that too. I’m saying I don’t think that means he was right.

 

[dru]

I think that the Reds are looking OK here. Yes we have nearly 10mins at 14 after the half, but let's see where this goes.

 

[dru]

Les. Classic SOO commentary on the way through.

 

[TSR]

Doing okay but I feel there is a real contrast with how they played the Crusaders and, in attack, we’ve gone a bit too far the other way.

In defence we’ve just been caught out a few times. Not sure if guys are getting themselves caught out of position or the Highlanders are just too quick.

I'll be pretty happy if we start seeing the short forward pass through the center - at a point that it is sensible.

 

[Major Tom]

Pays a 40m advantage for highlanders but comes back for that one there when Brial and Uru are away?

 

[Tomthumb]

Why would he call that back? Reds had the advance and a 2 on 1 with a try beckoning. Piss poor referring again, Murphy is a plum

 

[dru]

These fucking ticky-dicky lineouts. Going to be a dickhead? Then pull it off!

Technically the correct call, it looked the highlanders played the ball

 

[dru]

What is the advantage of a kick from 10 to 10 handing over possession?

 

[dru]

Landers were legal through the ruck and Reds were not? What was Lynagh actually "playing"?

 

[Tomthumb]

Taking out a halfback is legal now, good to know.

 

[Major Tom]

Geez he’s harsh on Thomas there. Bloke is still in the way of the recycle

 

[TSR]

Excellent game by Blyth.

 

[dru]

GET OFF - Red water, Landerws water - well I dont see it

 

[Marbig]

If Murphy was the same level of player as he is referee I can see why he never quite made it.

 

[TSR]

I don’t mind the initial ruling because I think Thomas should have just cleared if. But then he got played at the ruck.

Still - if he just clears it the first time there isn’t an issue.

 

[dru]

OK that not clear release by ref against landers was rough
