Waratahs v Highlanders

[Glath]

<p>Not sure how he wasn't offside there for that try?</p>

[Siam]

<p>What a fucken offside joke</p>

[Gunner]

<p>The fuck is going on here?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wake the hell up Highlanders, quickly.</p>

[Mattasaurus]

With the way the calls are going.....

[Mattasaurus]

Is this for real....cos the reffing in last 10 mins is farcical

[Gunner]

<p>That lineout wasn't fucking straight!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Add it to the list.</p>

[Mattasaurus]

Wow amazed he called that

[Gunner]

<p>Now they've got away with hanging onto the ball on the ground.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Geez to look at this thread you'd thing we're a bunch of whinging fluffy bunnies, but bloody hell this refereeing is something else!</p>

[No Quarter]

Never in doubt. Dunno what you guys were worried about.

[hydro11]

<p>Some crazy officiating.</p>

[antipodean]

<p>Fair result. We shouldn't have been in the contest if the refereeing was competent.</p>

[Siam]

<p>Justice. Farcical officiating</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fuck off commentators :)</p>

I honestly am sitting here stunned. The officiating in the last 20min was beyond anything but "that" game.<br>
Surely the ref should be stood down

[Stargazer]

<p>Although I agree the officiating was terrible, the Highlanders weren't good at all in the second half and the Tahs started playing better with players coming off the bench.</p>
<p>Fortunately, the team that deserved it most won.</p>

[Siam]

<p>How, in this day and age and camera/tmo interventions, can we have a try scored by that offside prop allowed in a professional comp? :idiot2:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Roger Clark should text JJ: "go for it mate, we'll pay the fine"  :)</p>

Landers stopped playing for a good 25 minutes. Nothing to do with reffing.

[KiwiMurph]

Yep Landers couldnt get any ball for about 20 minutes and it looked like their rush defence took it's toll and they ran out of steam in the last quarter. Also Tahs looked to have some good youngsters off the bench.

Guy blows his knee out in round 2. Not much chance. <br><br>
Holloway. Not bad. 23.

[pukunui]

<p>Watched this game by fast forwarding all the stoppages because I can't stand the Aussie comm's or the Waratahs for that matter.</p>
<p>Man the Highlanders are a pleasure to watch at times.</p>
<p>I was yelling at the ref at times particularly in the second half but hopefully the focus won't all be on him.</p>
<p>Tongia looked the goods and faddes had another decent game.</p>
<p>Wouldn't be surprised to see E. Dixon in the ABs squad this year if he keeps it up.</p>
<p>I must have fast forwarded the bit where it happened so may be off the mark but why the hell do they keep dragging Sopoanga? That 11 year old replacement offers no impact what so ever and they have turned to shit a few times this season when it has happened (not necessarily as a direct result mind you).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>p.s I still hate the new BP system. If you are trying to reward attacking play and the Highlanders don't get a reward for THAT. Then scrap the whole fucking thing.</p>

I guess Parker is all we've got until Banks is back, I assume he's injured? Got to give Parker game time and to be fair while I cringe when he comes on, he's often performed above expectations and can be fairly handy kicking at goal.
