      Higgenbothem red card early. So much for the no dickheads rule.

                  @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.

                        I'm more amazed Genia managed to avoid severe injury there, he's a sneaky fucker.

                              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.

                                          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.

                                                    “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

                                                          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.

                                                                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.

                                                                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!
