Rnd 17: Reds v Blues

^ maybe it's your respective avatars but somehow your "Shut up Slim!" just isn't as menacing as Cyclo's "Shut Up Shiggins"

 

[Bobby Sands]

I have him as an 8 long term.

8, 6 or even lock I think. He is about 1.95 I think.

Will be a ripper.

A win, at home, against a NZ team and pissing off Slim.

A good effort all round

 

[Derpus]

This has been getting progressively worse. The crawling along the ground as well. Ridiculous.

This referees interpretation of the tackle, and what was held/tackled was frustrating to watch.

All season other referees have been officiating the games by making tacklers release the tackled player, yet his interpretation of the law was significantly different which has flow on effects to other areas of the game like the ruck. That wasn't 'held', but then the TMO ruled against a try which had a similar movement because he was tackled and didn't release the ball. I agree it wasn't a try, but if that wasn't a try and that shouldn't be "play-on".

Again, I'm not fussed which way they decide to go on the law itself, but just make that interpretation consistent across all games and referees.

I'm sure Dismal was filthy though...

Thankfully, my dodgy stream had cut of by then, sparing me the angst.

Come to think of it, might watch all future Auckland Blues matches on jumpy streams. I think the general air of infuriating exasperation that a jumpy stream provides would only add to the air of self-antagonism and helplessness that surrounds your average Auckland Blues telecast.

"Yeah, I watched the whole game. Didn't see any of it though. Thank Christ."

I would say it was more a mercy call on Shiggins.

When the stream drops do you get OMC playing in the interlude?

I wish!

Love me a bit of OMD

By that, do you mean you'd sobered up?
