Ref and Bunker Decisions

There were 3 blatant incidents of foul play just ignored by the bunker in 3 separate matches - on Keppie (high tackle across throat), Fermor (high tackle across face) and Walsh (hit late). Two of those incidents led directly to tries being scored the next set by their opponents.

The number of times the refs change interpretations in the same season just adds another layer of imbalance to the competition.

Another I noticed - and at the risk of upsetting Valheru and the Roosters brigade - how about that magnificent tackle from Tedesco to deny Tuilaga a try yesterday afternoon. Marvellous covering tackle where even the commentators missed the very clear swinging arm to the head.

Yes indeed, was like the commentators were watching something else entirely
