For all his faults Taylor needs to show some balls when a clear stuff up like today happened. Dead set two footballs on the field one kicked into one of our players when trying to catch a ball. The refs give us nothing and until he takes a stand on dodgy decisions they will continue to happen against us and go unchecked.
But we all know he'll say and do nothing. The fact he says and does nothing about something like this peeves me off more than the loss.
Meh… JT in the presser made a good point. You have eyes for 1 ball and you catch it. At training that would happen a spunkload. Whilst I agree it's a great stitch up, he should have taken it.
Id be more worried about the horrendous penalty count then this brain freeze.
Amongst many insane comments about today's game yours about the second ball deserves a gold logie. How many players have ever had to contend with TWO balls coming at them simultaneously in a game? I have not found much to like about Rankin, but I feel extremely sorry for him in relation to this incident. The fact Taylor has apparently downplayed it is very disappointing to say the least. It is a complete disgrace to the NRL that this occurred.
Yup, the excuses train has arrived. All aboard!!
Do I like the fact that there was a second ball on? No. Do I like it was punted at old mate when he was trying to catch it? No. Should we have been playing well enough and had enough on the score board that it should have been inconsequential? Yes.
The Gold Logie for 'Best Deflective Excuse' goes to you.
