Quote: Wire Yed "Pretty much my take on it, people making out our players need protection...yet both players jumped straight back up with zero injury, i thought the first was a yellow personally one for high and two because he breaks the line, he doesn't get hit and i think he'd of run through and scored.
Imagine if last night had been officiated by James Child, he penalises everything, he has no thought for the fans and just letting it go.'"
On the contrary, he didn't let the game flow. He refused to give penalties for lying on and slowing the ruck down, which in turn made for a turgid second half.
St G adapted better by lying on at all times and knowing they would not be penalised - not a pretty sight. For some reason Wire did not lie on or slow the St G game down as, if they had adopted the St G tactics they would probably have won the game.
