no idea but they shouldn't be making these calls unless its blatantly obvious its ridiculous enough that we cant even use video technology to rule on forward passes its not that hard just look at the hands and see where the pass goes
out of the hands it wasn't forward which is what it should be ruled on instead of this floating forward bs
I'm not upset about it being called forward... The non sin bin was a genuine howler and ultimately decided the game.
We all would have jizzed over a one point loss to the chooks last year people have got short memories. I don’t think I have seen one game this year we haven’t at least had a go for the full eighty and I can’t remember one game last year when we did
I doubt the rorters make the 8 to be honest
The weak middle is killing us.
His ball return is a lope sideways, and surrender to the tackle. I can't understand why he doesn't try to make some metres by running the ball back with a bit of speed - or is that as fast as he can go?
The handbreak is the new tolman.
At the game, I was keeping an eye on his kick returns, and everyone I saw he changed direction before the defensive line to go across the field.
We lost the game on the back of poor decisions at certain moments of the game. Players like Waddell fell for dummy's and they scored. JAC was a dummy for coming off his wing to tell the ref to stop play for Alamoti and they scored. Dumb and Dumber!!! We can't set up plays and score 10 mtrs out, but we can 90 mtrs out. Its not good enough. Oh that's right we can from kicks....we contribute a lot to our losses. Yes we get get some bad calls and it pisses me off too but we have to look at our game and say we were leading for most of it and didn't have a general to control the game when needed, like most games.
No one can deny that our players do silly mistakes at certain times. At least as fans, we acknowledge that. The club acknowledges it as well by ensuring the players are accountable and are dropped and don't blame outside factors such as the officials.
I don't disagree with what you are saying and yes the officials should be more accountable. Having Graham Annesley come out every Monday indicating where ref's stuffed up is little consolation but the good teams don't often find themselves needing ref's decisions to win them games. They put teams away and any line ball decisions have little or no effect on their results. As for us, we depend on every decision the ref's make which is the difference between us winning and losing.
Yes GD and next year with an enhanced roster (barring injuries of course) we will be winning those games no matter how much sh!t the refs throw at us.
At least we are slowly but surely making ourselves great again. At least we are doing something about our situation by removing the deadwood. Like you said, we need to get our fingers out to get more wins.
