@KiwiMurph at some point one must ask why hookers don't come into SR with the ability to throw darts.

same reason backs can't put the pass in front of the player anymore? Amount of moves ruined by the player having to stop and catch a ball.

I reckon players are still as good at throwing ball in, and passing in front of players etc.
I reckon as many missed lineouts are miss timing of jumps/lifters as ball not exactly on mark.

Same as thing that pisses me a lot when I look at passes not out in front, so many moves seem to be called and so many moving parts, an awful lot is timing of receiver as much as passer?
The whole game has got so much about complicated bloody moves etc.

Aussie Comms watching a different feed

That's a good start!

That's an odd missed conversion

Not if you watched Beauden try and kick last week....

Geez Segner, that could easily have been classed as throwing the ball away. Why do that? Just drop it down mate.

Knock down by an Australian is not even a penalty. Against the Brumbies it's a card.

For such a skilled player BB is such an inconsistent kicker off the tee

It was even odder when the blues were leading 7-0

You can’t penalise Jorgensen. Come on mate.

Oh that's not a good look.

WTF is the commentary talking about? Segner didn't do anything wrong at the ruck I can see.

Red all day there. No attempt to wrap at all.

That's a shocker. Arm tucked, shoulder charge.

There was a change in direction that will save him from red

He should see if there's a crusaders fan in the crowd he can borrow a jersey off while he sits in the bin.

Excellent tackle Beehre

Easy YC. Dipping player and second tackler. After seeing what doesn't make the threshold, I see no reason that should be other than typical inconsistency.

Maybe, but hard to justify when it was only ever going to be a shoulder charge?
