    Mile forward. Highlanders should have just conceded the try and come back.

      I’m behind the play, but I’m unsure how Dixon’s tackle is only yellow.

      No malice he says, but most red cards we see these days have no malice, so it’s irrelevant.

      Just wait until you see a red mitigated to a penalty 😬

      I cannot believe that we started at red when a guy literally tripped over, versus yellow for a tackle where a guy aimed with force to hit the key playmaker of the opposite team in the head with his shoulder.

      To be fair, the shoulder to head did start at red, they just wrongly mitigated it down to yellow saying it wasn't directly to the head.

            Blues halves and their option taking leaves a lot to be desired.

                Could've sworn i saw a penalty reversed back to a scrum because of a knock on a week or two ago...🤔

                  Was a mile forward and were lucky to get 3 there, but lets be honest, Ash Dixon should have seen red for what he did.

                        @act-crusader Nah pretty hard to give that one yellow when Nareki's contact forced the slip imo.

                        If it got given yellow however, I could see the reasoning behind it but penalty only fair call imo.

                          Putting aside our allegiances and whether or not there should have be yellows or red cards, isn’t it good to have a full compliment of players on the field for the sake of the game.

                              Blues have to commit a forward to the back of many rucks, as Christie is late to the ruck.

                                Game still over. Highlanders endeavour just isn't gonna overcome blues power. Especially with these mistakes and poor decisions by leaders.

                                One thing I've noticed about Parkinson which must count heavily (geddit) against him...his concrete boots look even heavier than the ones Papalii used to wear.

                                Nareki playing his way out of AB selection musings.

                                    Refs got the Heem call correct.

                                    Clearly the impact with Nareki caused Heem to fall into that one. To card someone for a complete accident would be setting a fucking awful precedent.

                                      @tim everything is slow from the rucks, lineouts etc which allows the Highlanders to get back into position. Imagine Aaron Smith behind the Blues.

                                        @act-crusader Nah pretty hard to give that one yellow when Nareki's contact forced the slip imo.

                                        If it got given yellow however, I could see the reasoning behind it but penalty only fair call imo.

                                        But it was Heem's contact that forced the slip....hence Nareki getting bumped off away from the contact...

                                          I’m behind the play, but I’m unsure how Dixon’s tackle is only yellow.

                                          No malice he says, but most red cards we see these days have no malice, so it’s irrelevant.

                                          Just wait until you see a red mitigated to a penalty 😬

                                          I cannot believe that we started at red when a guy literally tripped over, versus yellow for a tackle where a guy aimed with force to hit the key playmaker of the opposite team in the head with his shoulder.

                                          To be fair, the shoulder to head did start at red, they just wrongly mitigated it down to yellow saying it wasn't directly to the head.

                                          I’m talking about the discussion on here - without checking the thread it felt like the starting point was (generally) YC unless you were supporting the Blues while the Heem one was almost automatically RC - when he literally fell over.

                                          If it wasn't direct contact to the head, the starting point isn't red, but yellow.

                                          You guys saying this must have seen different footage to the replays I saw. His shoulder literally smashes into the guy’s head. With force. Intentional force.
