Quins v Leicester - 23rd April 2022 KO 15:00

[drc_007]

Front row is a mess today, Van Wyk and Hayes getting pinged for everything, Genge and Cole required!!

Expect Genge and Cole on at HT

Van Wyk is not good enough as a starting prop.

Finally we've won The Head Contact Card Lottery

Shows the fine margins in the game and the difference between the teams of officials. Dickson and Hodnett that's a red for Green, maybe a yellow if we were lucky. Barnes and Foley it's a penalty Tigers

Nope. Whitcombe definitely second in the pecking order at the moment

Well done Barnes, spot on with that decision!!

Most other referees that would have been trouble for Green.. excellent from the officials.. well done!

Against popular opinion, I have to disagree. Barnes has got that one wrong. Not least because it’s inconsistent with all other referees in the game right now.

Direct shoulder to head should be a red card, which may be mitigated down to a yellow due to the Dombrandt push and the influence of the other Tiger tackler.

Green (and all players) has/have got to go lower - to increase the margins between shoulder and head and to protect the tackler from late changes in height. If you go for the hips, a late dip results in the midriff.

You either prioritise player health and penalise all head contact, or you give up your duty of care.

Who does one speak to about taking out a contract on Dayglo?

Asking for a friend

He trully is a wally and some of his comments are pathetically bias, BT Sport should show him the door, its boring, clearly not the brightest spark, Healey is another!! Surely there is some fresh, knowledgable pundits out there!!

In the bits I have seen and heard from him I thought that Topsy Ojo comes across great in analysis and commentary, it would be nice to get a few new voices rotated into the current line up which seem to be getting a bit stale.

I'd be inclined to agree with you, I think we were very fortunate.

And there's another attempted maul where we've turned it over

[Leicestertinytiger]

How the was that not holding on?

[kpj tiger]

Freddie the intercept king

[Greenwhiteandred]

Losing the kicking game with the wind against us

[kpj tiger]

Think Robinson is being hard done by in this game so far

[Tiglon]

That's possibly the first mistake I've ever seen Esterhuizen make...

[Tiglon]

OK, that was a decent maul

[kpj tiger]

Wish comms would give at a rest every time somebody tackles Nadolo, yes he's hard to tackle but you'd think nobody had done it before

[baz1664]

Come on Barnes it’s time for a card!!
