@sidbarret I think you are missing snowy's point.
Had the Bulls held on and won, everybody on this side would be up in arms about the penalty try. I've no complaints, but it certainly wasn't as cut and dry as you are making out.
To say a number of 50-50's went the highlanders way is probably as silly as my view that SA hometown video refs are blatant biased cheats. Neither are accurate, but you can only see what you see. Certainly plenty of evidence, but nobody ever remembers correct decisons.

@majorrage I was wrong to call Jackson a cheat, but I stand with what I've said since, the games he referees are frustrating to watch and he detracts from the spectacle.
re the penalty try. Funnily enough, live I would probably not have called the pt, but upon seeing the replay (posted on this thread) it a stone cold PT. Last defender is beaten and all Gellant had to do was catch the ball to score.
But let's move on from the refereeing (which wasn't the main issue in the game and only mentionable because the game ended up being close)
The bulls should have won handedly with the opportunities they had. Sure the HL defended well, but this bulls side is lacking penetration. They have two good carriers playing at lock, but that's it and without big strike weapons you need to be faultless, which the bulls failed to be.

@sidbarret only watched on highlights but on viewing I only saw it as being a PT, for me it was an easy call.

Same.
