The refs have just abdicated all responsibility of giving reds to the bunker.
You man clattered Love at full speed with a shoulder to the head.
What off field review do you need mate?
Well as a one eyed Canes' man, even I didn't think it was a red. Definitely looked first contact was on shoulder, so I thought it was YC. I genuinely would of been very surprised if it had od been upgraded, and won't be cited I reckon.
That's just how I saw it anyway
I'll need to watch it again but it looked like a late, no arms shoulder charge to me, which is a straight red regardless of whether there is head contact or not. The fact there was head contact just makes it worse.

@No-Quarter dunno why we continue to be surprised with these calls...
This one not upgraded, that one upgraded, all a joke really.

My first wearing of canes classic shirt worked, I'll claim that one
I wish the Canes would wear a classic shirt, their "away" jumper is so non-descript I forgot I was supposed to be hating both teams and started cheering for them.

I like the look of that team, but I think it needs a few more captains to fulfil its potential.

I always think of what Cane got sent off for in a RWC final when im comparing these incidents.
And im just left shaking my head. Farcical.
I have to be honest, I'm falling out of love with the sport.
-
@Canes4life if you lost Harkin to injury who goes into fullback ?

I not sure they are as bad as we think. I reading on Aus rugby forum that some think Love was milking it , same ones were calling for Wrampling to be crucified last week. The problem is we generally see from our own side on very limited stuff we see on tv. If the tackle was dangerous as some think, the Canes would cite him, as they get access to all the angles etc. I said the same about the Wrampling one last week, if these tackles are bad, and the TMOs etc miss them , if the teams themselves don't cite, they agree with them. I just think last nights was like Wrampling's last week, looks worse on tv than they were.

The decision, and Kolisi surviving an arguably more dangerous hit ruined our chances for a RWC win. It is one of many occasions, for us and for other teams. The refs and video replay are a total lottery and it is bad for the game

The Kolisi decision is the one that is genuinely most annoying to me. If Cane's was red, how was Kolisi's not? They should have just left both on the field with yellows and then dealt with it afterwards.
We give league shit for putting away their whistle in the big matches but this was a time we could have followed their lead, biggest game of the year, tight as fuck match, and they tanked it with hypocritical decisions.

And the showcase for the sport on it's biggest stage. Just amateurish, those in charge seem to treat the game like it is not for the fans' benefit. Or maybe they want it to feel like the NFL?

TJ Clarke is back playing for Petone so I assume him. Godfrey will be back after the bye as well.
-
@Canes4life so for your match day 23 you posted for next week against the Chiefs you would have to change PUJ or Sullivan out for Clark ..i suspect your coach will pick Riley Hohepa , oh for a Jon Preston type player who could play 9 or 10

There’s also Banks and Sinkinson available who can also play wing/fullback. Proctor has also played fullback a few times so he can slot in there if needed.

Kolisi incident was worse - it looked to me like there was intent to hit and hurt Ardie

I thought Roigard was that player when he first hit the scene? Can't see that happening with the canes current stock though.

I know Proctor used to be a 15 but might be a stretch now. Sullivan has played a bunch on the wing, I imagine he would do ok at 15.
Anything to avoid having Hoepa on the bench, and just because you have him on the bench, doesn't mean you have to bring him on with 10 or 15 min to go.
Lets stop subbing off 9 and 10 at the end of games.And that was a straight red. Shoulder to the head with force. Don't care if it may have slightly hit Loves shoulder first, its still dangerous, no wrap and no attempt to get low, can't see how that could be anything different than red.

TBH I wouldn't mind giving TJay Clarke a spot on the bench. He was pretty impressive for the Lions in the NPC and deserves an opportunity at the next level. He's a fullback first but he can also cover wing so would be the most sensible pick. I'd then probably have Umaga-Jensen over Sullivan on the bench due to the fact he can cover 12/13.
