2018 Test Match - Tonga v Australia @ Mt Smart

[2 weeks]

Tevita Pangai Slater

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Pangai jnr was trying to do a Slater but realised he was too late so he just kicked his head

 

[Walt Flanigan]

That’s ridiculous. 8 point try for that

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Lolohea and Kata next to each other in the defensive line is a disaster.

The real question is - who actually thought it was a good idea?

 

[t-ba]

Yeah nah don't really rate that call.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

That is weak as piss

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Pangai jnr was trying to do a Slater but realised he was too late so he just kicked his head

Isn’t that also a Slater?

 

[Canard]

That's a bullshit call for mine.

It's one of those things that looks far worse in slow mo.

Joke decision. Keary had run behind his teammate as he passed. Luke Patten must be video referee to think he passed before that.

And there was no way the defender could pull out in that tackle.

 

[t-ba]

Isn’t that also a Slater?

Slater would have kicked with far more force whilst also being a complete accident. The try then would have been overturned and Melbourne would have received a penalty for assault on Billy's boot.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol its like they dont believe we can create an overlap and they're throwing the "obstruction" line around

 

[Life's Good]

Ordinary call. TPJ basically pulled up & made incidental contact with the head. It’s such a common occurrence.

 

[Vic Mackey]

99% of Head high tackles are accidents, do they still get penalized?

8 point try every day of the week

 

[Unscrupulous]

Joke decision. Keary had run behind his teammate as he passed. Luke Patten must be video referee to think he passed before that.

And there was no way the defender could pull out in that tackle.

You think that was an obstruction? Lol??

Valentine Holmes get 2 shots for head butting Pangai Jr’s foot?

Lol

 

[Hutty1986]

Along with Teddy he's probably Australia's best player and he really needs to see more ball.

Even at the Roosters we only learned mid season to get him more good ball and when we did we barely lost again.

True, but he also needs to do his bit and go hunting for the ball a lot more. He can wreak havoc from anywhere and he needs to get more involved. He is going to terrorise the arrogant merkin maroons for a long, long time

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

The weather forecast for tonight in Auckland is 'no f**king comeback' Im afraid.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Fizzer of a game and a large portion of it has been self inflicted by Tonga. Some real dumb play.

 

[Hutty1986]

This is a confusing scoreline...LU told me that straya was shit now
