Hartley - I can't be the only one?

Post by speedski »

To have seen the headbutt on George, I mean even the TMO review ignored it.

It was blatant and should have been punished.

+1, it's like they've been told he mustn't get a ban. Is it World Cup year? Old cynic here :smt002

Hardly a headbutt guys, more handbags than anything. Led with his shoulder to wind George up.

Nah... all very much something or nothing for me. The TMO thought the same as I did. Not worth wasting time on it.

There's something else I've noticed about Hartley. When he's just about to throw in at a line-out, more often than not he takes a step towards his side after the TJ has positioned him. Is this legit?

No! Very sneeky way of throwing the ball straight down your own line and making it not looking obvious. Don't blame him he is allowed to get away with it as the Ref is more obsessed with setting the gap between the teams. Hartley then takes it away by his last second side step towards his lineup of players.

I think a lot of people wanted to see a head butt but it wasn't. Similar to Ford's follow through on Morris when his try was disallowed....he knees him in the back...if that had been Morris' head ?
