Rebels vs. Reds
-
Higgenbothem red card early. So much for the no dickheads rule.
-
Baaahaha. Captain fantastic at the reds is off before the game has even gone ten minutes.
-
@Duluth cheers for that
-
Looks like a red for Tui now too...
-
Has to be
More of a red than the first one
-
No balls
Found an excuse not to give it
-
@duluth that is a fucked decision. Looks like NZ have a ref of Rasta's calibre.
-
Very lucky to be only yellow. Only because the Rebels' player's shoulder and arm hit the ground first. Many other refs would have given red.
-
Yeah, NH ref gives that every day.
-
I'm more amazed Genia managed to avoid severe injury there, he's a sneaky fucker.
-
Good lord the Rebels are bad. Cut them too.
-
What was the red for?
-
HIggenbotham shoulder charged to head. SBW style, except the guy was much higher.
I'm ok with the second one just being yellow. Argument for red for sure, but Genia was fine, and didn't land head first.
-
The ball handling in this game is dreadful.
-
-
And then the head lock after. What a fuckwit
-
I'm thinking collision. Yellow for me.
-
@booboo Stupid play but would have given yellow too
-
Poor handling from both sides, but it’s a pretty humid and hot in Melbs tonight. But the defence was schoolboy. Most of the fries were unopposed training run stuff - and that was both sides.
The YC should’ve been red IMO.
-
Can’t believe what the game is coming to. That was not bad enough to warrant a red card by any stretch of the imagination.

I saw the front on view and can see why. In the twitter version above, Higgers only appears for effectively a couple of frames.
In the angle from behind the Rebels player, he's got a few metres to run in, never even looked like lifting his left arm or lowering himself into contact. Philp wasn't falling at all. It was the sort of stupid idiocy we've come to expect from Higgers, though Queenslanders won't hear a word against him.

More angles in this tweet:
22 seconds in. There it is. Red and nothing but. Here's his quote from the post-match:
“I was just going in for a tackle,” Higginbotham said after the match.
“A two man tackle, one bloke goes low, one goes high.
“We practise that in preseason, I’ve been doing it for 12 years.”
Fucking denial

You're an idiot @booboo. End on angle is clear red.
Higgers is an idiot. Waste of talent.

Just popping in to say Red all day long. Lined up the head, it's nothing but red under the new rules.
Two years ago was a yellow bordering on red.

I can see where that idiot @booboo is coming from, at a first glance it just looks like a bad collision, but the other angles show it to be worse.

Yeah - first glance, I wasn't sure. But those other angles - you can see his eyes light up and his stupid mouth mumble "fuck yah, gonna kill this caarnt".
And then claiming he "didn't have time to wrap his arm around"... maaaate, you had pretty much reached your arm right round your own waist, in the hurry to get that shoulder out way in front of any other part of your body.
Fluffiest of bunnies. -

He's done three things wrong - he's gone high, with no arms and then neck-rolled the guy into the ground. How dumb do you have to be?
Fuck him.
I have no problem with him being red carded.
Edit: for some reason I hadn't seen those other angles - no question after those!
