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

@machpants Reds played pretty well in the 1st half
Unlucky to not have a handy lead

@derpus said in Hurricanes v Reds:
@machpants NRL exists
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.

He came on in the 74th minute. The commentators just didn't notice/mention it.

@kiwimurph they were too excited about Laumape leaving

@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?
Unfair play
A player must not:
Intentionally knock, place, push or throw the ball with arm or hand from the playing area.
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.
He propelled the ball out, not downwards. Guessing intent from anything other than the clear evidence is for ignorant morons on Facebook.
Remove that and Laumape probably would've got to the ball.
Good application of the laws of the game.

@rebound said in Hurricanes v Reds:
@crucial but that the law. Knocking the ball dead with an opposite player in a position to score is PT and yellow.
No. Deliberately knocking the ball dead when the opposition player would otherwise probably score is.
I just think that both of those aspects are debatable so to call them both is harsh. -
@antipodean How can you say he 'probably would have got to the ball' though? He'd already missed it by the time Hegarty took a swipe.

I just think that both of those aspects are debatable so to call them both is harsh.And here I am thinking both of them are clear and obvious. Must be watching different games
