I have seen this comment a few times and don't agree with it at all. I think in the 10-15 minutes that followed the Taulapapa incident, there was only one penalty (Briscoe's professional foul which earned a yellow card) and no obvious "niggle". The real trouble started in the aftermath of Faraimo's breakaway try, when there was an incident back in Hull's half of the field just after he had touched down. It's not clear from TV pictures what caused that, but the real niggle started after that.
The real niggle started when it became clear to Hull that Fev weren't just going to roll over and die. IMO Misi's tackle was bad, but it wasn't high, it perhaps deserved a yellow. But then so did the high tackle on Briscoe earlier, which went completely unpunished.
Anyway I don't think Misi was early, it was just that the ball was late (joke)
