No sign of Sam Caird yet again. Oh yes there is if you are intending on attending the 3.30pm match at the Glen Willow Stadium in Mudgee where you will see him fronting up for Sydney Uni in their Shute Shield encounter with Eastwood.
P.S. Don't see him on the team sheet, unless he's playing the part of the second Grade trophy aka Colin Caird.

@stargazer I'm perplexed as to how the officials ignored that completely. It was pretty clear the ball carrier was stooping if Naisarani is bent right over to hit him, only thing he could have done is drop to his knees.

Not the best clip. There were better camera angles, I think ...

Just more shit refereeing from the unbelievably incompetent.

Here's a better clip.

And another red card. Pone Fa'amausili (Rebels) sent off for basically the same thing as Naisarani.

This one was worse.

I thought the ref tmo combo was very bad this match. Worst I have seen this season. Naisarani tackle had heaps of mitigation. Pone less so and perhaps a red card. The try review seemed nonsense as there looked plenty wrong in the buildup before and during the review period. But ref was determined to give a try and tmo did not want to disagree. If Rebels had lost then no doubt a big outcry. You get the feeling that refs and tmos are told the focus on specific things some rounds and the no mitigation was the theme this time. Really do need to look at players breaking off the maul and taking out defenders in front of the ball carrier also. I. E. Before the try from the ball rolled between the legs of the player in front.
