Tariq Simms looks like he may have done his ankle which is a real shame he has had a blinder tonight. Playing on, came close to scoring a hat trick there.
Definitely the best performance I have seen from the Dragons this year, the past 3 rounds they have been a better side and they will take a lot of confidence out of tonight.
5. IT is round 23 and the obstruction rule is still not clear. Tigers five-eighth Mitchell Moses was denied a try because Ava Seumanufagai was tackled by David Shillington. The Bunker claimed Seumanufagai initiated the contact in what was a bamboozling decision that could have gone either way.
In the CM today and IMO part of the reason why the obstruction rule is confused. The media are pushing the line that this should have been a try. In my view it obviously was not even though the bunker got the reason wrong.
Moses caught the ball and ran around his own player which in my view is illegal, the only decision the defender has to make is Moses can't run around therefore he takes the lead runner, simple. It's different if Moses passes the ball to a runner on the other side of the contact hitting the hole but if you run around it's obstruction.
The commentators and now the papers then push this theory that the defender initiated contact therefore he fucked up and the attacker can now run around the contact, which to me is straight up wrong.
