Fucking stupid from Ofa
Well-reffed, I though. Not much else Ofa could do there.
He's not in control, reckless and lucky.
If the player stays upright, it is just a good tackle. It depends whether you think Ofa has time to change.
No he doesn't, because he's not in control. He didn't give himself time to change, that's exactly it.
What time is he supposed to give himself when in the space of one step the attacker dives to ground?
Come on man, it's really simple. This day and age, you can't fly in uncontrolled hoping you get lucky with the hit. I don't have a problem with the outcome in this instance, but Ofa left himself no out if that went wrong.
"uncontrolled"? You are delusional if you think players can adapt within that timeframe other than by making completely passive tackles.

Adapt within the timeframe he gave himself when he went flying in? So if he can't adapt when he goes flying in out of control, the option might be to not go flying in our of control. Or hey keep doing it until it goes wrong.

Looks the goods that boy
Blues with a little more patience would be up by a thousand

So you're arguing for players to defend on their heels giving themselves all possible time to "adapt". Thanks for the soccer mum input.

Sullivan looking more like a player who’s been around for a decade as opposed to the fella who is a former international Rugby player of the year
-
Had to stop watching for a bit. Who'd Zarn replace?
-
@Victor-Meldrew Perofeta - went off due to his shoulder.
-
Love Zarn Sullivan.
One of those guys who can make things happen, while making it look very easy.
Get him in Black.

Riccitelli is quite good at those driving plays close to the line
It helps if you are short with a low centre of gravity.
-
BB literally avoiding contact... Should not be starting in the blues.
Sullivan shows what happens when you run hard and with purpose.

@KiwiMurph but his distribution skills and kicking options are way better ,Plummer getting a free pass as someone who doesn’t quite cut it as a top level first five but all of sudden wants to be a 2nd five .
Former Harbour player Michael Little was a similar size to Corey Evans also with brilliant distribution and kicking skills ,another under utilised midfielder under Pat lams watch .
Seems to be a pattern at Blues HQ,pick someone but never play themSaying Evans kicking options are way better than Plummer is a real stretch. He has barely kicked when playing for Blues or Auckland.
I hear what you are saying re: distribution.
Definitely selection issues. Someone like Segner always picked yet Rush never plays.

Segner comes from Ta$man. It’s a bit shit to see him promoted ahead of some really good talent within the region.

@antipodean nonsense. HJH was always falling and he flew in uncontrolled. At least a yellow up north.
Thanks for demonstrating your overactive imagination. What actually happened was HJH fell to the ground after catching the ball with Ofa taking one step for would've been a legitimate tackle had HJH stayed on his feet.
Now you could just fuck off back to GAGR instead of crying about rugby here.
@antipodean dude went flying in and you don't think he could have done anything differently. 'Would have been a legitimate tackle'. The fuck relevance does what might have happened have to what actually did?
-
10/10 to the Ref for penalising the time-wasting
-
@KiwiMurph he got man handled 2 or 3 times in the first half too…
Zarn

That’s how you run at line from first receiver
Just saying
