We had to do a million more tackles in the the first half thanks to some horrendous referring and it took s its toll. If we were given a go by the pea blower we might have got close. The ref has zero feel for a game and that’s now two weeks in a row.
The six again lottery must be without doubt the biggest negative in the game. The Storm game is going to be harder, must maybe we might get a ref who gives both teams ago
We concede 40 every time we play a decent team. It’s not refereeing
Atkins didn’t help Parra could have been pinged a number of times but he elected to ignore
Good teams defend for 6 tackles when something goes against them.
8 set re-starts or whatever it was makes life hard. Penalising a team relentlessly in the first half takes out the energy required later in the game. It's a simple way for a ref to manage a result. Numbers can be adjusted later to even the equation somewhat. Stuff like giving repeat sets on zero tackle or multiple penalties one after the other late in a game are a classic example. We may not have been (probably weren't) good enough to win. But we certainly weren't given the opportunity to compete as we might have been if we were a higher ranked team in the ref and video refs eyes.
Why Moses wasn't sent to the bin for high contact is an absolute joke.
Simple fix. Run harder and make your tackles.
Lol....ok
Ask any neutral supporter, it’s that obvious our forwards got rolled in the first half. That leads to repeat sets because they are rolling. We handed them all the momentum with stupid school boy errors. Conceding 40 is on us.
Our pack got bashed but it doesn’t help when you’re getting shafted by the officials ..
