Round 13 Rebels v Chiefs - Friday 17 May at AAMI at 7:35pm EST

[Rebel man]

Is it a requirement for TMOs to be drunk. How to they let a swinging arm to the head in a ruck go without a card ?

That was disgusting should have been a straight red it was an act of cowardice

 

[Rebel man]

Berry had a mare at the end. All the chiefs players go straight off their feet at the brake down and DMac takes over 60 to kick his penalty. A bonus point should secure finals and fuck if we had to scrum it may have got turned over and they score 7.

But a few Chiefs very lucky not to be in the bin as well 15 no arms and high yes the player is falling into him but it’s still a penalty. He is coming into contact upright.

Number 18, he has to get a holiday. Tate got 3 weeks and a red for the exact same thing.

Ah well at least they showed up for it

I'm not gonna lie... got all Shigginsy watching the Chiefs enter some of those rucks from the opposing side...

But, as mentioned elsewhere too much shovelling the ball sideways from the Rebels, and I'm not sure what Duagunu was thinking at the end.

We were poor on attack and that was amplified when Gordon was off especially with Kellaway out

Always thought that of Stevenson, Dismal.

Classic Rebels ending to a classic Rebels game. As always it's the hope that kills you.

Wanted to offer a particularly vicious "fuck you" to the drunk mudguts Kiwi fluffybunny who spent the match taunting Rebels fans at the south end. Some of the most obnoxious fan behaviour I've seen at a sporting match, and that includes Bay 13 pre-crowd management reforms.

Dunno how this wasn’t picked up on the night. We saw it on replay a couple of times at home.

 

[Tex]

Yeah it was given a single run on the big screen. Crowd was onto it.

Gotta be an off-field YC, surely (don't think they can do RC?).

 

[Rebel man]

100% a Red where is the mitigation? Absolute dog shot. Not sure he would be willing to stand toe to toe and swing one. Was pathetic we talk about player wellfare and protecting the head and we let that go

If it is deemed to meet the red card threshold, he can see some time on the sidelines regardless of not getting a card on-field

Not sure what TMO was doing, missed the swinging arm on Pone and took an eternity to see head on head contact with Carter Gordon.

Gee whiz that's blatant and absolutely no mitigation. Surely he goes for that.

Hate seeing this stuff after a close game. The crowd saw it, not sure what Berry was doing. Guess it’s the TMO’s job.

So sad

Yeah it’s the TMO screw up I reckon. When it was shown live I thought for sure the TMO would have a look and we’d hear a ‘check check’. But nothing. And yet some games TMOs are butting in for the most arbitrary of issues. Boy we follow a frustrating sport don’t we.

Predictions for round 14 lads

Don't worry, I love schoolchildren oh shit that came out all wrong didn't it
