Chiefs v Blues

@Mr-Fish said in Chiefs v Blues:

Nock can't kick, Christie can't pass. It's a tough world.

I wouldn't say Nock can't kick. He's got a big box kick. Just tends to overcook his kicks sometimes.

@African-Monkey yea he certainly has a.kicking game, but like most of his game, inconsistent.

Crikey!

That should be a points loss, disgusting

You can't ding the team for that. The individual should lose pitchside privileges for some time though - it's a muppet thing to do... twice!

Disagree, they're part of the team. It affected the game, and it's cheating.

I looked at the footage. You can't see the incidents because they are showing replays. But you can tell that the trainer had to move a decent distance to get to the ball, particularly the second time

I hope they checked previous matches too

[Yeetyaah]

Some supreme shithousery really. But is what it is and the club has been fined.

Dick thing to do and I wouldn't be against it being reclassified as a loss for the chiefs... but I don't really understand players getting rid of the ball post try anyway, so lesson learned on both sides.

The rot starts at the top: “We have co-operated fully with Sanzaar on this matter and accept responsibility for the technical breach and the outcome of this process,” Graafhuis said. “As this is an employment matter, we will not be making any further comment.”

What a great catch-all comment that is as practically everything can be considered an employment matter.
