Counties v North Harbour

[Stargazer]

@duluth Now told to go off for a HIA. Doesn't seem to want to go off haha.

Penalty only, correct decision. Good officiating.

Really? No arms, shoulder to head?

[antipodean]

The fact he's questioning if it's him going for an HIA is telling.

Don't see how they let him stay on for another phase.

[Stargazer]

@nzzp Very clear mitigation.

I honestly would be happy with @stargazer doing the video ref job, as I think he understands this shit better than many refs, but I dont see how that isn’t a YC. That was no arms with force. With no mitigation that should be a red, surely?

@gt12 I'd need to see a replay, but think he may have contacted with his forearm?

[Tim]

Bring on Teague!

Ok, then that might explain it - I saw one replay and it looked like a direct shoulder to the head.

I’m on my second highball though.

Halves pairing for Counties leaves a lot to be desired.

[Tim]

Big defence.

[Higgins]

@antipodean We have to suffer them both at the Hurricanes

A drop isn't mitigation. A sudden drop might be, but not many arms in the tackle.

Honestly, I don't care do much about what the sanction is, just that it's consistent week to week. And it's really really not

[Tim]

Waenga needs to open both eyes.

[Yeetyaah]

First try on 69 mins. Nice.

It's only 9 penalties in row.

Great take by 15, good try north harbor

[Tim]

Great take, great try.

[mikedogz]

Pretty close to the dead ball line.

[Bovidae]

A nice try.

You would have to question CM's decision-making when they turn down easy penalty kicks and then take a 50 m penalty.

That's a team losing confidence.

Sheesh how many chances did Counties want down their attacking end?

Game over now.
