there was no knock on from GC
Storm bounces off his chest and GC players stomach not arm or hand.

wrong call by bunker
there is no deflection
GC player regathers into his own leg and gains posession.

The problem with refereeing in the modern game is how fast it is.

Players don’t help the cause when they are constantly sniping at the referees throughout the match, I wish they would just let things continue instead of arguing and throwing their arms up in the air at EVERY tackle.

There was some dives this afternoon. That storm fella was hit up a little bit to stay down and milk. The Bunker gets involved and it’s a penalty. But no HIA?

How do they manage do get it all wrong all the ****ing time?
The Sami try, the phantom strip and everything in between that I missed because I wasn't watching.
At this stage I'd take an AI referee over these morons.
Howlers by the on-field ref? It sucks, but they can (more often than not) be forgiven. But, the bunker? An with these pseudo psychological explanations about intent and some other **** like that.
Come the **** on!

You're right. That is another extremely annoying issue. Personnally, I'd go "changeover, ball to the other side" everytime a player raises his arms above the horizontal to appeal for a penalty. They'd stop real quick.
