Kings v Western Force - R2

[Tiger]

Thank God you at least get points for a bye these days.

Not whinging mate. Just remarking on his performance. he was inconsistent. Simple as.

Its sad giving it to the ref when your team serve up the shite they did. The Kings struggle to beat their own Varsity Cup side and you blame the ref. Sad this.

Looking forward to see another Petersen getting into top level rugby.

Excellent debut for the youngster, look like we have another Habana coming through. Watson played himself into a puke, his replacement Engelbrecht surely needs to start, he was everywhere and played with lots of power. Cat Killer also had a good match, once his team get ther nose in front he'll take the game by the back of it neck and just nails it.

I said the kings will surprise some people there is a lot of quality in their best 18 but outside of that there are issues hence in trials they lost. As they never fielded there best team for a prolonged period..kings will do alright at the beginning of the season but they will really fade by the end.

Also should never have a Staffa ref in South Africa I am not saying that the refs cheat or a biased but it creates a vacuum for such a thing....

Yes , you're right , they'll surprise me if they win another game.

Suppose you talking about the Force here?

We're not done yet. The guys will turn it around and nail some good teams this year. Remember plenty of teams find it tough to win on the road. We are the road warriers until our first home game in round 6.

Sure it's dissapointing to loose to the Kings and we probably should have won easily, but this is a new team, a lot of new players, a new coach. Its going ot take a while for everything to click. Anyone thinking we were going to turn it around over the offseason and all of a sudden be topping the compeition is kidding themselves.

Plenty of rugby left in this season. Just look where the Stormers are at the moment. They're in danger of being dropped next year to make way for the Lions to come back into the comp

Why is it sad to point out a referee's consistency? The kings played very well. Their tackling from the word go was brutal. I think they will win a few games at home this year.

 

[I like to watch]

Do they play the Force a few times at home?

Lol.

because you wont get a single match where the ref dont make a mistake if you watch it as a neutral. If the scoreline is in your teams favour , the same moaner wont have any problem regarding the ref. I have said it many times on here and got an all mighty amount of flak, only maon about the ref if your team wins, if your team loose leave it, it always sound like a sad tosser and whiner. No one seems to understand playing the ref these days. All the S15 players are professional players buit they seem to dont understand the basic rule playing rugby. PLAY the REF and stop moaning.

That assumes you know what the ref is going to do , & in this instance I don't think you could, except that
the 50/50's generally went the way of the Kings , & I had the impression the ref was unconsciously caught up in the significance of the moment, & the Kings first game.

There we are , Force beaten by the Bulls, good contest with good referreing by a South African ref ,in contrast to the Kings game.
No complaints , no one's "moaning" as you put it.
