Ok so we lost, but did we really?
First of all - the ref. That was the most disgraceful display I have seen since I was 11 and one of the refs let his kid score a try when he was held up. Rokocoko scored 3 tries off 3 forward passes, nearly every McAlister pass was forward. Woodcock was boring into the scrum but Dunning kept getting pinged for no bind. Brown was pinged for diving over the ball even though _he did not go over the ball_, in the rules of the game you can jump and flop all you like if you don't seal the ball off, which he didn't.
And then there is the advantage for offside. I counted 5, that's right 5 new advantages called at the blues line for being offside, yet after all 5 it was only a warning. That was the biggest load of bullshit I have ever seen!
Secont, as someone else said in the halftime thread (sorry for not remembing the alias) how come we only play decent attacking football in the last 10 or 5 minutes?
Third, the defense on the wing, start with Cummins to fix that?
I know I bash Mitchell at every chance, because I think he deserves it but we did play OK tonight if you take the ref out of it. Our defense up the middle was great, but on the wings as Robyn pointed out earlier they were just able to glide past.
Did we deserve to actually win the game? That's up in the air. But we did not deserve to be down by 38.
