Well, accurate in that he is probably correct with most calls when he makes one, but not so accurate in that he is allowing too much negative play from both teams that is killing it. He is usually a "correct" ref, no doubt.

Pissed at Ripia tonight for some reason he kept skipping JOC (James O'Connor) in the backline and chucked it to inman instead. Then the first time JOC (James O'Connor) gets the ball in a usual 12 position he beats 5 and nearly breaks the line.
Why would you not throw it to your biggest linebreaking threat.
Too many kicks in this game pretty awful viewing.

What the fuck is the matter with the Force? JOC (James O'Connor) kicked the ball more in this game than he has for the whole season put together.
They kicked this game away. We are used to the Tahs diashing up boring, strangling rugby but the Force royally stuffed this up by not playing a game that has worked for them.
I want the last 80 minutes of my life back. I'm sending an invoice to the ARU.

We Tahs can bring out the dour in anyone. Play us and despair.

Force deserved that loss, didn't deserve the bonus point. Absolute joke.

Uluga try was double movement. His first attempt to place the ball fell short and then he went again. Uninspiring by the Tahs.

Tahs in the top 6. Strangely enough, I can't see them taking the title. Still, they did enough tonight.

Really? I was not sure, when did they change the rule?

What a boring game of rugby. Well done NSW Waratahs.... only you could take the speed and skills of Beale and co and turn them into a kick first, most boring team in the competition.
Also... whats with Barnes' inability to pass left to right except for the old school Wally Lewis lob pass? How can an 'international' rugby player not be able to spin pass? Wallaby 5/8?? I think not. His ability to bring width to a backline is non existent.

It's a rugby league rule.
You're allowed to place the ball in any direction once you're tackled on the ground.
However, a tackled player is not allowed to get back up off his feet and play the ball.

In the past I have seen it penalised in union (tests, I think)

Also, he did place the ball and fell short and then moved to place it again.

Well, the spin pass is harder to catch than a float pass. In the dewwy/oily conditions handling is hard enough.

Someone mentioned it earlier in the week, the Force only turn up to play at the level they determine is good enough to beat the opposition. They have to eke out wins against teams they should smash and then lift against teams better than them.
They looked at the Tahs lineup and thought thy could win it. They lack the ability to consistantly play at their best.

No.
In rugby, once you're tackled you can still play the ball once in any direction.
There's no such thing as a 'double movement'.

My mistake. Fair try then.
Then it would have been incorrect.

Another game against the Tahs and another loss. God these guys frustrate me at times. I don't think I'll watch the replay, it'll make me comatose.
