    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.

      For falling over? Not even a penalty

      Tight game, enjoying it at the club 🙂

        @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.

            He made himself fall over by trying to shove Nareki out of the way

              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.

                  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.

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

                    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.

                          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.

                          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.

                              Heem made the contact from what I saw. Heem’s play was in the careless category and we’ve seen that punished with cards when a player is in the air and there’s been a collision like that.

                                Clear that Heem changed his line and initiated contact. He then fell over and took out legs of jumper. Yellow all day.

                                  Blues forwards dominating.

                                    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.

                                    @bones anything can happen with a kick that takes an odd bounce. Very close game.

                                      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.

                                      @gt12 Yeah Dixon's contact was blatant but hey, it is what it is.

                                        Not sure why Christie kept kicking with the Blues up a man at the time.

                                        Especially when they’re on attack only 35-40m out from the tryline. Idiot.

                                        Also can’t remember which commentator was saying he’s the best kicking 9 in the Blues squad - his kicking has been awful.
                                        Nock is head and shoulders better than the other two 9s when it comes to the box kick. And he can’t even get a game.
