How does Swinton not get a red for that? Absolute joke

Never a red. But definitely a yellow. Numpty Rugby.

We need points. And Hooper makes a break and thinks. How about a grubber! A GRUBBER!!!

OK, OK. Fill me in. I regrettably think he had a TOTW game. Please, PLEASE, explain my error.

was nice to see hoops, 2cows and simmo chatting at the end

no matter how it ends up next week, pretty happy with how weve progressed given the youngsters coming through. fingers crossed for the poetic justice next week

Yes, considering we are on the rebuild and were only given hope of beating the Force, to beat everyone bar the Brumbies, who only won on the bell, and still be in with a rough chance for the finals, it’s been a pretty satisfying season for a Tahs fan overall.

How is it never a red? It was a shoulder charge that made contact to the head. Textbook red under the new protocols.

Lots of talk that Rebels only need to win next week. We need to win by 5 points or more. If we win by 4 points we are level on points difference with Tahs, who would advance then?

Definitely plenty to be excited about.

Horton, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) looking the goods, Dempsey looks back to his best.

Gordon and Maddocks back to their best too. Harrison developing and kicking so well. Walton and Ramm.

Just need to sign some decent locks now. Please come back Rodda.

I would have preferred to see him driven into touch fighting to stay in rather than go for the very low % option that gave the ball away cheaply.

To the body is a yellow. Directly to the head. Red.

Just being cheeky, WCR.

You need a bonus point win.

Philip's yellow, Meakes not being called out, Swinton's non red. Left a lot to be desired, Perrett ref of the round by a country mile.

So why was Naisarani down and injured? I doubt it was because of a body shot.

I'm still a little wound up. Give me a few more minutes.

 

[Brumby Runner]

I thought no arms was a yellow? WTF?

To the head - thought it was a red?

He agrees with you.

I saw contact with the body first but I'll go back and have a look to see if that's the case.

 

[Dctarget]

Such a shame that Kellaway has been on a slide, Ramm was infinitely better. Deegan was very poor as well.

Typed before the replay showed head contact. Real time I could see a shoulder charge only. But thanks.

Okay. Looked at it again. From the angle behind it looks to the body but the reverse show clear head contact. I was wrong. Should have been a red.
