Rebels v Reds Friday 15 April

[A mutterer]

i think the real hero of the rebels so far is their S&C and physio, cause hardwick and philip are carrying 13 men on their backs.

 

[SteveWA]

perhaps he got a tap on the shoulder with the come to jesus talk?

Let the players play. Deal with obvious foul play on the pitch and with the marginal stuff after the game (when you have the time to do it properly)

Man what a joke. He clearly didn't make contact with his head at all? Whats the fucken card for.

I just want to watch rugby ffs.

Not sure what vision you were watching. Shoulder clearly contacts with the head. Hodge was dropping so yellow card.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Rebels been good in attack and deserve that try

 

[A mutterer]

reds counterpunching as hard as a young tyson

 

[Scooter]

Bloody Rebels extra man and throw an intercept for length of field try.

Yellow every day and from player safety needs to be

The shoulder doesn’t clearly contact the head, at least not in any angle shown on the broadcast. Also, there was no discussion of mitigation so the protocols were not followed.

 

[PhilClinton]

And that is 101 why the maul is broken.

The Reds stopped that maul, and then the Rebels are given an opportunity to add three more players and score. The defending team is at such a disadvantage.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Not the rebels night but good game from both sides

 

[Dctarget]

Who threw that last intercept?

 

[Rugbynutter39]

This is turning into a cracking contest

 

[Drew]

It’s all so grey in the interpretation. We stop the game for an incident where a player somewhat falls into a shoulder which could be considered clumsy or unlucky, no yellow. Similar situation a few minutes later, yellow. I’d be happy for someone to be YCed a few minutes after the fact if it’s not obvious and the game continues.

From what I saw if you looked at the right angle it could've been his forearm but then you shift to another angle and see he was no where near his head.

Man.. I don't always agree with the law.. but as the laws are he hit the head it's a yellow... It hit his head.. your off

 

[Tomikin]

Oh and also, if it's 50 / 50.. your off.. everyone knows this.. players , refs and fans

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Who threw that last intercept?

Don’t know but good attacking rugby on display for this game and for the neutral been enjoyable game

Yeh but with whole issues around post player brain trauma etc and fact bigger stronger players in the modern age I agree with any head contact no matter if mitigation should be yellow
