Cummins just gave us a few at the end, can’t look to obvious.
Always seems to happen. When the game is still up for grabs we get mauled by the refs. Once the result is decided, we get a handful of token penalties to even it up. Happens all the time.
Be interesting to know the six again comparisons also, just as beneficial as a penalty, moreso really. Looking at the above though it seems that we were better off with the two ref system.
Our 6 agains early in the match are often early tackle counts in our own qtr of relatively little value...but early oppostion 6 agains often blown in our half on a late tackle count,and have high propensity to result in a try,and if not truly exhausts our defence leaving us vulnerable for the next foray.That can and does change towards the game end,just like penalties,when the match has been won and lost.
Think Madge needs to initiate there "aughta be an investigation"speech ...!!Gofund me mite surpricingly pay for a largechunk..weve had enuff
Thought Joey Ls penalty of 4 weeks was overly harsh(altho he did deserve 4 weeks for stupidity if that was within the rule book),but Mitchells 2 discretions one of which was a cheap dogshot from behind with similiar force and intent...2 wks total.what.a joke
I quit watching rugby a few yrs ago becuase of refs over officiating and having covert agendas...were catching up fast.Therewas one tonite where Waratahs got acrosscthe line thru about a dozen consecutibe penaties..totally manufactued NRL starting to look the same
