Crusaders. v Reds

[Bones]

God Ennor has gone backwards. 3 on 1 and he kicks it 🤦

[Grooter]

Here comes the Bridge

Best SH ref with this fixture. Reds really want to grab a bonus point from this at the very least. Crusaders to secure home semi. All to play for.

Bonus point to Reds would not make any difference to them. Would put them on 36 points. Two teams either side are Tahs on 37 and Clan on 22.

[Victor Meldrew]

Bridge, Havili & Ennor combined really well there to put Jordan in

Yep - I was looking at the Tahs' points.

Meanwhile the Reds get a 50:22 from an aimless Havili kick.

And also, does not seem very likely.

The state of jerseys these days.

The reds are called blue.

[antipodean]

The laws should be amended so if a halfback mistakes himself for an enforcer you can give them a good smacking.

Having trouble handling that to Bones, as well as Brad Thorn coached team is avoiding taking the ball into contact, and playing way behind advantage line!!

[Chris]

Pushing some 50/50 passes in that half.
And some aimless kicking
Very much playing within themselves not showing too much for next week.
George Bower is destroying the Reds TH time and time again.

[Chris B.]

@Chris Bower's popping up around the park as well. Going alright this year!

Yep strong around the park first half .

Jordan proves he's human

Pity because it was a good break and pass by Ennor

[antipodean]

That's Matera's night done. Stupid.

Was a poor drop. But worst of all is he stopped playing after he'd dropped it.

Yellow. Seems about right for a shoulder-land

[African Monkey]

Matera should have seen red. That was bad.

Disagree.
The head or shoulder land was all on the victim not the tackler.

[Toddy]

The thing I don't like about the arm/shoulder mitigation is that it's often through the actions of the player being dumped on their head as to whether the tackler is yellow or red carded. Stick your arm out to try and save your neck and the tackler is often given a yellow for what should clearly be a red card.
