Moana Pasifika v Chiefs

@Nepia said in Moana Pasifika v Chiefs:
Do people actually think that was deliberate foul play, therefore RC?
I clearly don't understand rugby anymore.
It's not about deliberate foul play anymore and hasn't been for a long time. That's clearly direct and reckless head contact.

issue is, it doesnt matter if it is reckless or accidental head contact, result usually the same :large_red_square:

I can see why the Crusaders beat this Chiefs side they sent down to Chch. If Moana didn't keep fucking things up while on attack they'd be well in this game.

I don't get this team, they sometimes look very focused and at other times incredibly inaccurate.
I think right now we are losing the kicking game and just can't build pressure. The missed tackles are starting to stack up too - some pretty casual looking efforts out there.

People go on about the Saders looking like shit despite having quality players; this game shows that if you run out a few players who just aren't ready (Jacomb), still developing (Sititi) or not quite good enough (Roe) in the spine, you'll look very average.

I don't disagree. I think if that was under a NH ref team it would be RC. I also think this insistence on ruining games has done sweet fuck all for reducing head injuries.
My previous comment is what I understand they're doing, not what I want to see happen.

@gt12 huh, what's the problem with Roe? He's very good. That long pass is unmatched by any other halfback.
Jacomb looks like he's a decent NPC player though, just a beat behind whenever he gets the ball.

I think he pisses around getting to the ruck and getting it out of the ruck. He doesn't have a running game and his kicking game is very average - I think he's gone downhill considerably from where he was a year or so ago.
Edit: I think Jacomb might be good, but he looks exactly as you describe right now. This is a level he's not used to yet so it's not clear whether he'll excel in Super yet.

@gt12 as soon as he's replaced, chiefs fast paced ruck game looks unstoppable. So yeah you're probably right.

How competitive could MP be if they didn't have such bad handling?
