While watching the Red's Chiefs game on saturday during my time on the couch sobering up I came to the following two conclusions.
1st is that the tight fitting "you can't grab me" jersey is causing the forwards to struggle to bind with their opposition. I noticed quite a few times both the Aust and Kiwi forwards loose their bind or not even get one at all during their scrums. On quite a few occasions. Maybe going back to the bigger baggier jersey is a way to go ?
2nd is the difference between the ref's. Who ever was reffing the above game (can't be arsed looking it up) did a much better job than others I have seen recently in his" crouch, touch, pause engage" calls.
I noticed he called them in a very fluid fast(ish) and constant motion, while some games I have seen here at Subi the pause call was very long.
So that tells me either the ref at Subi was doing it correctly and the pause is not helping the game at all, or the ref in Suncorp was not doing the call properly and as such when they did bind, the scrums were much better!!!
