Maybe DC got some advice from Eddie about how many 10s to carry in a squad.

Having given this further thought whilst on the road today, I guess the answer is that the ref should be able to exercise discretion as to whether or not to issue a yellow card on top of the penalty try. In this instance it was a slight mis-timing of the tackle, it actually looked like jorgo...

Adam kept prodding me. over to the McReight v Gamble debate. McReight by a country mile

This is essentially what I’ve been raging about. If it makes you feel better just sub in 50/50 wherever you see me say dodgy.

Yes I was angry about it because the punishment didn’t fit the crime, that doesn’t make it misdirected. Calling a person dodgy is derogatory, with respect to a decision it just means it was 50/50. The TMO did what he/she had to based on their determination, it was the determination that was...

Adam I’m not being a sore loser, it’s about over officiating. I get what the rules say. I’m fine with the result, qld were the better team. Qld is my second team, rightfully the origin of the other roughly 50% of our national team.

Im just going to leave it alone now but what im actually saying is involving the TMO unnecessarily is bad for the game. If hypothetically the ref just gave Qld a penalty and they went to the break with another 3 points would you be on here wingeing that it should have been a penalty try and a...

I thought we were ok. Still a lot on the injury list and that last minute disruption was…..disruptive. The other team had some better players than us, that’s rugby. Another week and we win that.

Only if he refers it. It wasn’t deserved of referral, he could have just made a call and no one would have blinked twice. Anyway, it is what it is, all I’m saying is less TMO involvement leads to a better game to watch, use the TMO only for high level infringements.

Yeah he does. He’s the referee.

I am fully aware of the rule book and its implications. The ref could literally have said ‘it was 50/50 as to whether that tackle was legal or not, but it certainly doesn’t deserve a higher sanction than a penalty so that’s what I’ll do. Penalty red.’ He has the power to do that. By the way...

I’m not saying it was an incorrect call. By the letter of the law it was right. The ref should have just awarded a penalty and not even involved the TMO. It was not deserved of neither a penalty try or a yellow card, let alone both. And sully re the third try it came backwards out of...

It was a good game to watch and only a dodgy TMO referral away from being an excellent game. Some of you lot are getting over hysterical. It’s worth remembering that the wallabies are selected from the best of these players.

Nope

In general play it doesn’t even get looked at. But because it’s a try situation they yellow card the dude for making a tackle. Fuck that. Tahs by 10

Garbage

Hopefully a good old fashioned NSW v Qld match up. I want the Tahs to win but more importantly I just want to see a good hard game of rugby with a lot of talent on display.

Hope Eddie hasn’t screwed him

If you are talking Aussie derbies, sure. So far. The chiefs v crusaders game was a far better watch. Which isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy watching it, I’m just being realistic.

Maybe - I'd say Walton goes to the centres and Jorgo starts, but maybe only penned in for half a game. So he might come onto the bench yeah
