We are still getting the advantage with offloads.

Other than that, neither side playing well.

We've been woeful but some of these decisions have been just as bad....that tackle on French was a penalty every game every season. Maloney is teflon tonight, he was the bloke who should have been binned too.

Well I'm biased the other way, but no way was that high, and quick tap wasn't on so no binning required.

Our first "forward" pass went a metre back, and Gutherson was 2 metres directly in front of kicker a few minutes ago.

Decisions going both ways, but whichever team completes closer to 80% than 50% in the last 20 minutes will get on top

Probably would of been binned if French wasn't offside for the attempted quick tap. Can only guess the refs were going to call it back when he made his tackle and that being the only thing that saved him then.

He got him around the throat mate. It was a penalty. And if the quick tap wasn't on they shouldn't have blown a penalty in the first place as the first "infringement" would have been ours and the tap retaken. If they ruled it a penalty, which they did, it had to be a sin bin.

No,no please. Continue to repeat your statement another 6 or 7 time Blocker... Jesus he's horrid to listen to.

I'm not really disagreeing on those, just that they weren't especially poor decisions, just 50/50 (60/40?) that went our way, and a few went your way too.

It is easy to be frustrated when team is poor with a poor decision, but the referees are making half as many errors as the Sharks or Eels tonight. Both teams are really out of sorts at the moment.

Kaysa Pritchard is an absolute waste of cap space. The second coming of Anthony Mitchell
