That should not be a yellow.

Stargazer

Geezus. Too harsh. 2nd yellow, so red for Masirewa.

Stargazer

That ruined the game. I'm going to watch something else.

Chris

@Stargazer yes I wonder if the Aussie ref would have red carded a Reds player

Two pretty soft yellows for Masirewa. Looks to me like first contact was more upper chest than neck. I thought he might get away with that. Hard to see Sunwolves winning now whereas they were a good chance without the cards.

Chris

Phil Burleigh stay in Japan Canterbury does not need you back for M10

African Monkey

@Chris Yes you do 😉

Why is a player getting yellow card for holding? That is never a yellow card.

He has just blamed the Sunwolves played for getting a boot in the head. Holding a player off the ball is never a yellow card in any other situation. Now every player who holds off the ball is going to get a yellow?

African Monkey

Yeah strange decision from Gardiner there.

Gardner has lost control of this game

I have confidence in Rasta not disappointing us if he maintains his usual standard.

Gardiner is normally much better than that but that was a shocker from him.

Chris

@Higgins Oh yeah that's going to be Fun watching that game toss of a coin on every decision

Precedent was set last week when Holloway thumped that big unit

I’ve written some fairly harsh things about his reffing but I’d say credit where it’s due this year as he has improved.

Chris

@MajorRage He couldn't have gotten any worse though
