He lost a bit of control and his scrums were not set properly (so he might get a bad rating). Other than that he did a good job. Red's just aren't used to a ref actually sticking to his word. And if you watch the game you will notice the Lions actually responding to the ref, while the Reds just ignore every word (ie: Shatz).
The first yellow was probably the main decision that will go against him. That could have been play on I think. So yeah, he's not in the top few this round and might have to work his way up to a top 6 game again.
Gee mate, I didn't realise that standing up in the scrum, throwing the ball to your side of the line out, not releasing the tackled player and standing in front of the last man's feet were legal in the game of Rugby... Oh wait, they weren't, but only for the Reds.
There is no way in hell you can call that an even performance in the last 15 minutes. I have never seen such blatant levels of bias in professional officiating, its really what you expect at U13 level from school provided referees. I agree, he picked up the reds for (usually) the right ruling. But then let the Lions get away with the same infringements.
But we all appreciate your baiting, being the diehard QLDers we are. So cheers for argument's sake.
It's a shame, we outplayed them in every facet of the game. Hard to win one like that.
