Guess who was in the bunker for that call.
Damien Cook called out the refs in the Dragons post match press conference and straight up said he thinks they’re biased toward the top teams, with the bottom teams not getting any 50/50 calls. This is something fans of the game in general, and certainly on here have expressed so it’s interesting to hear that view also come from a player.
If you take note of players in front of the kicker and then inside the 10 metres, it happens frequently. The bunker normally only looks at it if a try is scored. The linesman does nothing these days except raise flags or call Tiger players for forward passes. Commentators see the call is wrong then politely move on fearing they might upset officialdom. The roll ball seems to be officiated on only on special days.
