Was a brilliant hit, one of the best I've seen. Sam did not intent to make contact with the head, his arms only raised because of the impact of the collision, not because he was head hunting.

Truly awful red card.

Think that's a new rule, players are called back rather than penalised if they don't hear the 'held' call.

Two wrongs don't make a right

Ok fair enough, I've clearly missed that rule change.

I wondered that but didn't think it applied to people clearly tackled like that. Passing the ball after a call of held is brought back and play on (think Hohaia did it in the first Sts game)

Official line:

Amendment - Section 11 – Law 6: Verbal instructions to resolve doubt.

If any doubt arises as to a tackle, the Referee should give a verbal instruction to ‘play on’ or shout ‘held’ as the case may be. If the referee is of the opinion that the player in possession could not hear the ‘held’ call before passing or running off with the ball he should instruct the player to play the ball at the point where the player was when ‘held’ was called unless it occurs after the fifth play the ball in which case a handover will apply.

Wasnt a sending off but in all honesty wtf was Moa doing trying to muller someone like that with a crazy big hit? To me thats not playing as a team and look at where it left us once he'd been sent off. Completely disjointed (mind you we was before he was red carded anyway) and our heads went down. Five to ten more minutes in that game and we'd of lost and all because Moa was trying to be the big man.

Did he or did he not dispossess Rinaldi whilst they were attacking on our line?

He did but was it needed and what was the outcome?

Well I would say that knocking the ball out of the attackers hands on our own line is always needed! And the outcome was the wrong one, which is what you have just said yourself.

Are you for real?

Now I'm convinced this poster is a Rovers troll.

Here's someones YouTube video I posted onto the Broncos forum last night showing the Moa hit on Rinaldi.

As a Broncos fan (and I was there last night, it cost a small fortune to travel up so I'm not surprised there isn't much away support for London) I was amazed at some of the refereeing decisions even if they did benefit us. It's usually the other way around at The Stoop with the visitors benefiting but it's up to the disciplinary panel to decide the outcome of this one now.
