Quote: lifelongfan "Agree with all the above, in fact it's a big turn off for me, not just the ambiguous 6 again rule, but the blatant things refs are missing, that forward pass for johnstone's try was a shocking miss, it wasn't even debatable, then the one were he dropped the ball over the line. I can only think he gave a penalty try for reefing the ball, which is what Johnstone claimed had happened.
Just want a level playing field, that's twice on the trot that particular ref has done us.'"
If that did happen then isn’t there a rule you can strip the ball in the act of scoring? Think it was introduced 2022 season. TJ didn’t ground that second one so I was confused by it. Don’t think the officials had much of a clue.
The offside was ridiculous too. Pinned on our 10 with a number of offside defenders (mcollurum more than once) and then we kick and defending in our own 40 ref gives offside vs trinity. I’m sure the refs probably aren’t biased but it sure is hard to argue against it when things go consistently against you and don’t tend to even out.
