Sharks unlucky. Still early days hope they turn it around in the next match.

I agree he was wrongly done by, but if he had aimed a little lower there would be no issue.

The problem with the new rules are how do you tackle TPN or S Faainga? both lead with their heads and contact is inevitable

Was interesting to hear Gus Gardiner say last night the call was correct because as Hunt hit him he was still using force where as if he had seen the player going lower and still just hit him probably wouldn't of been a card. Funnily enough though I not keen on the law, I can understand it.

He was trying to knock Mvovo into touch and Mvovo went low to try and avoid being knocked into touch. The on field ref said that the contact, although high, wasn't that bad but the tackle was reckless and that meant a YC. I think if from Hunt's position when Mvovo started going lower, Hunt tried to pull out of that, it would've gotten a whole lot more reckless/dangerous.
