I picked it up at the time. He was in the line and Wood was sliding but “blocked” albeit momentarily the gap that was hit was where wood was sliding. Wood did not “take the bait” as he didn’t attempt to tackle Savelio but was sliding and simply blocked.
You have seen trys chalked off for far less and if it had gone up it could have been chalked off.
We can cry that we lost yet another player for HIA for the next game and this game too big the way cards are handed out and band is such a confusing element of the game you just lose all interest. As always the team that follows will benefit.
Not that I think we deserved to win. We lost composure in the final 10 gifting hull possession with silly offloads and mistakes in our own half. At least we didn’t collapse for a 20-30 minute spell this week.
We are up against it though as I think Hampshire broke his jaw and Jowitt could miss 4 weeks due to 2 concussions.
Add that to the current injury list.
Jowitt
Hampshire
TJ
Miller
Ashurst
Tupou
Josh Wood
A.Walker
I swear someone at wakey has smashed too many mirrors.
