Nobody seems to have mentioned it yet but I thought the referee seemed a little biased tonight, but surely that can't be true!!!

The six again rule is too subjective for me, I've heard Hicks explain what's gets a reset and what doesn't and its very technical but from a spectator point of veiw the difference around the ruck between the two sides was negligible yet Cas seemed to get a few more set restarts, or that's how I perceived it at the game.

Quite right. Cas got four, we got none, but they seemed to be holding us down for considerable lengths of time.

We certainly got nothing from him.

When the scores were close Cas got a few relieving 6 agains Consecutive sets mid set to get them out of their own 20/30 zone. It relieved a lot of pressure off them.

I wouldn’t mind but when Wood, TJ etc landed on their front and were trying to get a quick play they then got turned over and wrestled for what seemed like an age and no six again came. We got pinged 3 sets in a row for holding down and we were scared to hang on too long which allowed Cas a lot of quick plays.

Don’t get me started on the half break where we were trying to get up and the Cas player wrapped the ball so the whole Cas team got back onside and the ref just assumed there was a fight over the ball so allowed a ludicrous amount of time to pass. It’s either a Cas ball or a wakey penalty. I just don’t understand some of the calls.

Cas chanced their arm and wrestled away stopping us from any quick plays because the ref didn’t ping them.

Whether there was a technical difference I don’t know but I have this six again. I just can’t see any consistency.

I won’t say it caused us to lose but I just can’t see any consistency at all.

As bad as Moore was, he wasn’t at fault for our players watching Mata’utia run across them to set up Turner’s try. Or responsible for Jowitt’s error, or Arundel’s pathetic tackle for their fourth try. Or the poop passing and kicking.

Not the best of games and most 50 50 calls going with Cas.
Its odd when the video referee s not used, particularly on a grounding issue

Stop blaming refs every week. They don't make handling errors or concede silly penalties. The mentality of a lot of our fans blame them all the time, rather than looking inward

Every week when we hear who the ref is, you hear, "well thats us beat"

I watched the game back last night, and I think we had some marginal forward passes go our way.

Re: Moore : Thu Jun 17, 2021 6:40 am  

I thought his interpretation of what a six again for Cas was so different to what it would be for us. Seemed to be times when it was two to three seconds of lying on and nothing given and then we did it for less and got punished. There was some stupid penalties for high shots as well.
