Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders

Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders
The bank has had a massive culture problem for years. It permeates into the senior club as well. Being an 11yr old playing against 13s is way too much of a jump for boys. That’s just outright dangerous. The only bad thing about Souths Jrs is the lack of facilities. Is it still only the one field at...

Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders
I don't know if they take intent into consideration?
I mean, if someone threw a massive swinging arm and missed completely, there's intent but no actual contact. Would/should they still be sanctioned?

Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders
I’m again baffled How does Fraser get 3 weeks for a head-clash and the Drua guy get two weeks for a head-butt? The tribunal is a farce. Essentially because there is no low range for high shots, but there is for striking somehow. I suppose the faf slap is a good example of a low range strike. Not su...
