It's rapidly becoming an abomination. May as well rename it Touch Rugby and be done with it.Enzedder wrote:Well, if That is rugby now I am not going to pay to watch.
Initial contact was on the shoulder but it was always going to slide up given Crotty was diving downguy smiley wrote:That does seem to be upsetting people.Bindi wrote:If you can’t tackle a bloke without hitting him the head, you can’t tackle him.

I know. Makes the game shitter to watch and play. You can’t have people getting life long brain injuries though. Entertainment isn’t worth it.guy smiley wrote:That does seem to be upsetting people.Bindi wrote:If you can’t tackle a bloke without hitting him the head, you can’t tackle him.
It's really weird. The Kiwis especially seem to want to see early retirements and brain injuries.BBB wrote:Seems to be a massive overreaction on this thread to that penalty try.
The high tackle law has been like this for a couple seasons now.
The game is hardly ruined.
If you look at the tackle he could not go any lower .. oh it’s you ..guy smiley wrote:You were also talking about a swinging arm for a tackle that was quite similar.Hareaway wrote:You all wanna go back and see where I said ref will get them home ....
A penalty try ?? Suck my cock
By that logic though the Crusaders 3 should have seen red.JB1981 wrote:That's the rules not the ref.Hareaway wrote:You all wanna go back and see where I said ref will get them home ....

I won't, if you don't mind, but I agree it was a harsh call to give a PT and YC.Hareaway wrote:You all wanna go back and see where I said ref will get them home ....

If it's a penalty then it's clearly a yellow and penalty try,Torquemada 1420 wrote:Yup. There has to be some empathy with the intent and the situation. That was as good a tackle as you could see there. A year ago, he would have been hailed a hero.Ali's Choice wrote:I'm a Crusaders fan but I think that was a ridiculously harsh call. I'd have been happy with just a penalty.
Certainly implies you should always stoop just before going into contact.les@mooloolaba wrote:Looks like the best way to play is run with your upper body horizontal. Get few penalties that way.

I know what the laws say. They are simply wrong just like any law is when taking absolutely.bimboman wrote:If it's a penalty then it's clearly a yellow and penalty try,Torquemada 1420 wrote:Yup.

What? That was a high tackle 10 years ago, let alone one. Not really sure what all the tears are for.Torquemada 1420 wrote:Yup. There has to be some empathy with the intent and the situation.

You're gonna pollute a few rivers with that attitude.
Absolutely. it was a cracking game till the PT, though the Chiefs have not helped themselves since then and the Crusaders have really turned the screws.Ali's Choice wrote:Damien McKenzie is certainly a work in progress. He's going to do some freakishly good things in the 10 jersey this year but he's also going to make some shocking errors as well.
This scoreline doesn't reflect the game. Tough luck Chiefs fans you didn't deserve this margin.

Yep. Not much first-five cover in the squad thoughWaka Nathan wrote:McKenzie isn't a 10's arse. Why should the Chiefs be the test lab for one of Hansen's wacky ideas?

He's an idiot.
the first card was fair but not malicious. Player was falling into it which made it look worse. This one we're arguing over was similar in the dropping player but the tackler started over the shoulder.
