[QUOTE="Hound, post: 890804, member: 75918"] I suspect the Reds are going to look worse than they are because of schedule after the first few weeks. The cards make it hard to judge where this team is with week one... honestly,hard to gauge either team as a result. This is a rebuilding Reds side, it'll be interesting to see where Rod Thorn has them by seasons end, because I like quite a few of their young pieces. A lots going to be made of their discipline but I said word for word what Higgers went on to say to the referee. He didn't have time to get his arm into play, the runner was going downand the only way he could have really avoided it was if he bailed on the contact situation entirely - which no professional rugby player is going to do. Tui's yellow probably should have been a red... but even there it wasn't so much ill discipline as other players swept through and he lost control of the contact situation, leading to Genia finding himself in a dangerous place as a result. The Reds over the past few seasons have had legitimate discipline issues and I can see the media blowing this up as more of the same, when they weren't really stupid cheap shots or a result of dirty play.
