I'm all for the refs cracking down on off-side and play the balls. These two issues have plagued the game for years.
But, if they are going to crack down, they need to be consistent. Impossible I know.

In the lead up to the winning South's try, Tom Burgess did not get foot to ball when playing the ball, yet this has been one of the issues which the referees have penalised heavily this season, and indeed, already had in this very match.

Is it ever high quality early in the year? There's a reason there are so many upsets in March and April.

Higher than it has been thus far this year.

It's been reserve grade level. Reserve grade rugby, judging by all the penalty goals.

He hit like a mack truck in defense. Aggression and intimidation two things Tepai doesnt show.
Moeroa has shown plenty of aggression in his 74 NRL games. He was known for his frontal shots when he first came into first grade so now people don't run straight at him.

He is a cat ... but i will also come back to the appauling state of refereeing ... if they cant see that was a massive dive then they shouldnt have whistles .... if referees reward diving it will just go rampant

Storm got a penalty, slater took quick tap and ran along side Lewis and then fell over like he was tripped, but Lewis just stood there, there was not trip. Lewis gets 10min sin bin for doing nothing

Ah. I thought it was something remarkable, but it sounds like it was just Skiddy being Skiddy...

I’m watching with no sound and I am still trying to figure out how Lewis got 10 in the bin for that?

Are the commentators blowing up?

did they initally though he was tripped? (im flicking between this and the cricket lol)

in any case , they should have binned slater, that would set a benchmark
