This.

It is Farrell. They have repeatedly let him off.
Cripple fight doesn't quite do it justice.
Yeah, not this time.petej wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 6:15 pmIt is Farrell. They have repeatedly let him off.
A real problem is stupidity of a leadership group that includes genge and farrell. They are so much thicker than the England football team which is a reversal from 20 years ago.

There's the red.
The bunker is great imo. Can't see them getting rid of it. Really makes sense to not keep the crowd waiting whilst things are looked at, but it's clearly at least a yellow.
On the other hand, might have got the crowd involved on this occasionMargin__Walker wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 6:17 pmYeah, not this time.

Genuine question, has anyone ever got a red for one of those when the landing is on the side, rather than head/neck?
I thought so too
And that's the bit that infuriates. The whole protocol is about player safety and so the card is decided on the randomness of the outcome rather than the danger in the action.Margin__Walker wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 6:20 pmGenuine question, has anyone ever got a red for one of those when the landing isn't on the head/neck area?
Yellow's right for me.
I feel like I've seen a couple, but they were falls from much greater heights and where only the falling player positioning their arms correctly prevented them from directly falling on their head/neck.Margin__Walker wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 6:20 pmGenuine question, has anyone ever got a red for one of those when the landing isn't on the head/neck area?

Yeah, I've seen them (I think) where the player's had the hands out to prevent the face plant, but never coming down completely sideways, like in this one today.sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 6:22 pmI feel like I've seen a couple, but they were falls from much greater heights and where only the falling player positioning their arms correctly prevented them from directly falling on their head/neck.Margin__Walker wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 6:20 pmGenuine question, has anyone ever got a red for one of those when the landing isn't on the head/neck area?
