Augs had a man in the bin as well, stannies boys being absolute grubs with the ref turning a blind eye. The ref was also very questionable with 1 disallowed try and augs had 25% of possesion for the game.

Seconds game was pure domination, don't know what game you were watching

Dont know if anyone can agree with this one, looked like Augs brought down one of their own to ref the game. Auggies boys were having a tug of war with the ball while on the ground, ref wouldnt ever had the penalty to the stannies side. Not to sure if he got word of the new tackle height aswell, auggies were having a field day above the shoulders. Overall both sides did look in good form wouldnt be so sure that the scoreline defined the result, stannies turned some heads in the first half

As an outside player from the Stannies vs Augs game, I feel as if too many people are trying to let Stannies off the hook here in both 1st and 2nd, lost by nearly 40 points, it doesn't matter if you think the ref was bad, the score shows that Augs dominated Stannies

Not sure the score flatters View at all, they were without a doubt the dominant team across all positions on the field. On watching the game, Oakhill could not capitalize on playing against 14 View boys for 20 minutes. We all know the Oakhill forwards are small and we going to be dominated (which was very clear during the game). I keep hearing about how good the Oakhill backline is, but all I really saw from the backs was missed tackles, intercept passes, general bad options when under pressure and a not being able to get any post contact metres at all. The game in general looked to be a very poor standard and when things were getting tough, Oakhill resorts to no arm tackles, high tackles and trying to start fights. The sad part of it is that the Oakhill boys on the field seemed to be thrilled by this. I really hope that they make improvements otherwise it will be a very long season for their supporters.

Sadly, the ISA website is down again.
When I looked at it this week, you werent able to see a ladder either - just the games

I'm incredulous that Stannies could be complaining about their own refereeing in Bathurst

I feel as though that's a very harsh analysis.
No one decides to tackle someone high; it's a mistake that happens when playing contact sports, so to say they "resorted" to tackling high is just plain wrong. Further, the scuffle in the first half was when the game was drawn, so I'm not sure what you are actually getting at there. Yes, I can admit the no-arms tackle was, and should have been a red card, but this idea that you're inferring Oakhill are grubby and egotistical is quite unfair.
Secondly, if I were the coach, losing to a couple of interceptions is probably the best way to lose a game. If those couple of passes weren't thrown, Oakhill might've walked away with it, and the conversation would be a lot different.
Yes, they need to lift this week, but that's the great thing about footy, you only have to wait a week to come out and give a response.

The Golden Shoulders deserve to cop this perspective, or most of it at least.

I think Oakhill just need to get there ego checked. Lots of superstars in that team that want to make the big plays.
