Hurricanes v Reds

@rebound said in Hurricanes v Reds:

@crucial why are you fixated on the deliberate part. That's the offence in the law. So that's what it is

Not quite sure what the question is but when it happened I immediately called that it should be looked at.
On the replay I thought it could go either way as to being deliberate.
I didn’t expect a PT though.
Another ref and it could have been a 5 metre scrum or a penalty and YC.
I can’t see that the try would have been scored from a bouncing slippery ball and sliding player

@stag said in Hurricanes v Reds:

@toddy absolute bullshit. He had every right to try and force it, and that is all that he did.

Apart from the bit that propelled the ball outside the field of play, sure.

Dumb by Hoisen/Hoosen

[Derpus]

I figure the ref just doesn't want to see the Crusaders win another comp.

[gt12]

That’s the best piece of play Ive seen from Proctor.

[hydro11]

I feel a bit for the Reds. We have got the 50/50 calls and are now putting them to the sword. The scoreline masks how bad we have been.

What odds did you get on the Saders losing to the Rebels?!?

[Machpants]

How the fuck are Ozzie teams so fucking shit? This is an awful performance by the canes, even putting the PT aside, reds are getting smashed

@damo said in Hurricanes v Reds:

I think that is really harsh. The ball was way up in the air. Very hard to successfully force it. I didn't think he intentionally knocked that dead.

Then don't try to. He didn't attempt to catch it and that's not a genuine attempt to ground a ball when it's that high off the ground. Good decision.

What law are you applying there?
If judging the same way deliberate knock ins are you are probably right but these dead ball area ones are usually judged with a different threshold. The SBW example was a straight out deliberate knock dead and I can’t remember many others since.

@machpants NRL exists

[Rebound]

@crucial but that the law. Knocking the ball dead with an opposite player in a position to score is PT and yellow.

I assume he's just going to be Hoisen on the Fern now, until Eternity.

[taniwharugby]

@machpants Reds played pretty well in the 1st half

Unlucky to not have a handy lead

Australia still had many more registered players then NZ, and of all the good players I personally know only one of around a dozen have made aNZ SR team - the rest were snapped up by Ozzie League teams and never seen again.

Toala gets slightly less then the 2 mins that @Stargazer predicted.

[KiwiMurph]

@nepia *more.

[gt12]

90 seconds for Toala, that’s the way to develop the talent.

[taniwharugby]

@nepia I hate those 78 min subs

[Derpus]

@machpants NRL pays better than French rugby and there are 16 teams with rosters to fill. I'm just surprised they don't spend more time in NZ poaching your school kids.

Ha ha, snap.
