What was Fatialofa thinking

[Crucial]

Fuck, he's lucky that didn't touch the head. Instant red if that happened.

[No Quarter]

Fats has a flashback to his childhood and thinks he's practising his WWE moves on his brother. Back to reality and he's in the naughty boys chair for 10 mins.

Probably the same thing as Luatua.

[Gunner]

Geezus, a high shot now.
He'll be hoping the play never stops now.... Another card coming?

Edit, no card but a warning for discipline. Surely the 2 ycs were warning enough already?

[No Quarter]

With the new rules, I reckon if you're game enough ducking into the tackle will be a great way to win penalties.

[Tim]

Isn't a yellow card a bit harsh when there was no contact on the Fatialofa shoulder charge?

[KiwiMurph]

@chimoaus He better keep an eye on his twitter then...

[chimoaus]

Appears to be a little bit wet.

He made contact. What do you want? A head taken off?

I do hope that yellow card use is consistent tonight.

YC was fair. Not sure it was Ardie that should have copped it though.

Meanwhile another YC. This one for a no arms shot.

BBBR had a fair bit to do with the collapsed maul that led to the YC. He's well practised in the dark arts of forward play now.

[Crucial]

Nisbo showing some Alzheimer's signs tonight. Getting himself really confused.

[Tim]

@Crucial He brushed over his back. Not his head or shoulders. A penalty should suffice.

[chimoaus]

Is this a props wet dream?

[Gunner]

@Tim asking for trouble though when you don't use your arms.

[No Quarter]

Umm why is that not a YC for the late shoulder? Consistency please.

[Tim]

@Gunner Oh it was certainly stupid to shoulder charge. He put himself in the frame for a card.

It's a bit like that quandary of what to do if you see a player throw a deliberate haymaker that fails to connect well.
There's no doubt that the action is illegal even if the consequences aren't as bad as they could have been

[No Quarter]

That's some hometown bullshit right there.

Jackson isn't reffing.
