To be fair Chambers replaced Dugan and he was ok for first run back. Wilton was in for Ramien. We have none of our starting outside backs playing due to injury, suspension or bad form and it is Killing us

actually, problem might be we have no, zero, negative, invisible halfback

Not wrong though. Should have been penalised for sure late in first half, elbow rub followed up with pushing down on throat
He is a massive ****, dirty as they come but when he has the ball complains every tackle. He waves his hands more then the seagulls down there

I reckon the new rules have broken the game. Basically if you lose now you get flogged. It’s made the game less competitive when it was supposed to be more so. There’s too much interpretation on the six again stuff and the refs are just backing the good sides. It’s like watching scrums in a Union international. Blow in favour of the side with the best reputation.

The facts are a lot of sides still get away with slowing down the ruck, so we’ve sped the game up to no advantage. It just ain’t good to watch anymore. I have profoundly lost interest to the point of walking away.

The six again is so selective, you can literally find ruck infringements every tackle. If you getting the calls with the ball you can dominate and other side is blown away. You rarely see set for set football.

IMO it needs a lot of adjustments, you want a penalty in your own end to get out of trouble set restarts on early tackles does sweet **** all.

We had the Storm on the ropes and they gave restarts after restarts away yet no penalty or sin bin. Then of corse we take over and **** it anyway with a bombed try

Unfortunately Reynolds not watching this game as he has to tuck his 11 kids into bed

Imagine being him watching this **** show tonight. These are his two options. It’s like that South Park episode where he’s got to pick between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
