Hurricanes v Chiefs

[Donsteppa]

I thought we'd be better this week for having DMac and Ngatai back. Instead the Chiefs backs are playing like a group of strangers with tunnel vision.

Thank goodness for halftime and hopefully a coaching rocket.

Fuck i hate TJP

How many replays does it take mate

BULLSHIT!!!

That's not the way it works either fluffybunnies. Fuck the TMO!

The TMO said he didn't lose the ball. Whats the problem?

Language used

Yeah, I know what you are saying mate, but I think the language used was more like {reading unofficial ref speak code]"You called it as a try on field, then thought you'd seen a knock on but actually you were right to begin with.......". I realise none of that is official ref speak.

[Stargazer]

Dmac has been awful. Headless chook with terrible game management.

[Tim]

Both teams poor tonight, though Hurricanes putting some heat on at the ruck and from Laumape on defence.

Crusaders would beat both by 30 points.

[Tim]

@stargazer He's done alright given the awful service from Weber.

[Tim]

Hall should be a long way ahead of Weber in the AB stakes.

Weber is typically poor under pressure. Tells in these sorts of games. I remember him having a shocker at the Cake Tin a couple of years ago.

[Stargazer]

@tim He made his mistakes all by himself, particularly that intercepted pass that led to the first try, but that wasn't the only time.

[mariner4life]

Does either 10 look like a test player tonight?

I reckon it makes the game more fun when it's a bit (lot) loose

[Nepia]

Bah Chiefs are playing shit.

How did Jordie Barrett not get penalised for his shoulder on Alaimalo? You can't just fly sideways with your shoulder at a tackler pushing someone over the sideline.

Going over the guidelines, I’m actually not sure wtf the protocols say for that situation - seems like the system is set up for the TMO to assume a try is scored and only look for evidence of it not being scored? So, given that, the decision seems understandable. What a ridiculous system.

Having said that, Hurricanes are playing better - Chiefs are just too inaccurate - and I’m primarily looking at you Weber!

[Stargazer]

I've seen BB been illegally blocked twice; first time by Dmac (not penalised). It's annoying.

Big Bad DMac hurting poor little Bodie Neymar

[Stargazer]

@nepia What the fuck? How is being pushed into touch without the ball Neymar-like?

[Donsteppa]

Anyone know where Stephen Donald is whitebaiting?

[Stargazer]

@donsteppa In Japan.

I'm talking about his dive at the end of the half. I don't remember big bad DMac pushing him into touch.

I assume you were as annoyed when Jordie didn't get penalised for a shoulder on Alaimalo?

[Stargazer]

@nepia I've seen Jordie make more weird tackle attempts tonight.

Are u sure Jackson's on field call was knock on?

He was going to award a try then discussed with you touchie to check for a knock on.

There was no 'soft signal '.

But that in itself reveals how poor union's TMO protocols are.

To be fair, JB is a giraffe and any tackle he makes on the average back midget will look awkward.
