Up the Guts

Hopefully they let Cron spend a bit more time plying his craft as an assistant rather than throwing him to the wolves immediately like Thorn.

Quite a bit, I think. Given the cattle Gibson shackled him with he has done miracles.
That said, the Tahs defending was the best they have been all year and Gibson's the defensive coach, so he does deserve some credit.
How much credit for the improved Tahs' performances should go to Simon Cron or the absence of Nathan Grey?
“Foul play review committee chairman Nigel Hampton said the strike merited a mid-range entry point of four weeks due to the dangerous contact with the opposing player's head. However, taking into account Moody's "excellent" judicial record, good character and early guilty plea, the suspension was reduced to two weeks.”
1. Hampton is a kiwi QC (Quade Cooper): so this incident was missed by 4 incompetent kiwi officials and ruled on by a 5th;
2. This wasn’t merely dangerous contact: this was offside interference with a defensive player, deliberately using an elbow to his jaw. It was not accidental or incidental contact with his head;
3. All of which would suggest that Hampton (who has been in practice since 1964 - so no doubt recalls Meads and Loe as great all blacks) well understood his real mission, naively summed up by Stuff:
“The suspension will see Moody miss matches against the Blues and Hurricanes but 29-year-old will return to face the Chiefs, making him available for All Blacks selection ahead of their test series against France one week later.“
Yeah, i mean. I agree to an extent. His legs are sky high so there is 0 chance of him landing horizontally. It does not look like it would be worse than a penalty though.Yep that is what you call showing people what you want them to see and not everything Derpus. Lol you could get some great outcomes if they only showed partial videos couldn't they?

You just cannot see any wrongdoing there, eh?

Stop being such a f***ing idiot Cyclo, where did I say that, all I said was it was nicely shown so that you saw what the poster wanted you to see and not the whole thing! Where did I say it was ok?You just cannot see any wrongdoing there, eh?
But certainly a penalty which keeps the game going and a chance for another score by the Tahs. Just another very poor decision.
And Dan, do you really believe there was any chance that Wells would have landed other than shoulder or head first from the angle of the tackle? You will lose all credibility with me as an impartial commentator if you try to argue there was no reason for a penalty in that tackle.
I have no idea why the gif was cut off then.
From the attached screenshot it is pretty clear that Wells is well above the horizontal when he hits the ground.
It's also pretty clear that Samu is part of the tackle and has to release but doesn't.

File Size limit?Geez BH the gif was obviously cut off because whoever posted it didn't want to show the rest for whatever reason. I have no idea, but there is something he doesn't particularly want us to see for some reason I would strongly suspect or maybe he just wasn't good at editting.
