OFFICIAL Taylan "Tiny" May #301

Tim Sheens said:
It certainly was weird, as Taylan wasn't looking at Samuela, until Fainu stepped away as he realised that they were coming together. Turbo was as confused as all of us, though I don't think he was actually obstructed, rather, distracted, but planted his feet and was beaten by the step regardless.

Considering Kola also scored by running in behind Turbo for that first try, I call it evens.

But going home and watching the replay, the commentators say "Turbo doesn't know which player to take". Is that right, don't know which player to take, the one with the ball or the guy without the ball, galloping in the opposite direction?

I personally think the bunker got it right, it may have been an odd and unfortunate situation but May never runs in behind Samuela and Turbo basically gets thrown off by Samuela's sudden left-foot step to get out of the way. I don't recall seeing too many players penalised for trying to get out of the way.

You completely correct, and astonishingly the bunker got it correct too.
But when they started watching slow-mo replays, and then Neville and the has-beens started trying to find a way to call a shepherd, I thought for sure some more Tigers Tax was heading our way.
My guess is they had already over taxed us during that game and we were getting a return.

Neville and the has-been is my new name for all the shite commentary teams out there. Lift ya game ya bias bunch of clowns.

Yep. It happens on the try line all the time with defenders getting sucked in by a forward running a line.

Kinda hard to say without a behind the posts view of how much Sam was blocking him.
