Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Tautai
He's not my favourite but I'm scratching my head to remember anything he did that warranted a charge like that.
The one I did wonder about was Tony Clubb but seeing the footage on the Catalans website, I think (although it's a bit blurred) he caught the guy on the chest and it wasn't a 'clothes-line.'

I’m the same I can’t recall this incident,that said having seen the Edwards incident I don’t think it really warranted a sending off on the night eitherSouthern Softy wrote:He's not my favourite but I'm scratching my head to remember anything he did that warranted a charge like that.

Re: Tautai
Doesnt look much in it, not sure what the definition of dangerous contact is?
Re: Tautai
Might be the reverse suplex after the ball has been passed, could be wrong though?!

Re: Tautai
So let me get this right.
Edwards- sent off but gets SOS
Tautai gets grade D
Bird gets grade D
- neither of which were pulled up on the day, and having seen them again can't really see what for...
What sort of refereeing or adjudication is this???

Re: Tautai
the officiating is getting worse at times. Clubb made a good hard challenge which wouldn't have raised an eyebrow in Australia its a joke

Re: Tautai
I'm all in favour of serious foul play being taken out of the game but I'm still struggling a bit to see how this qualifies. We all know what real foul play is (take a bow Brett Ferres) and I'm not excusing nasty stuff but considering the ref didn't even think it worth a word, let alone a penalty, I'm a bit taken aback.
