At least it was one HTB. I counted 13 hands in back and zero frees. King must have thought he was the footpath outside Grauman's Chinese theatre.

The one against Kent when he was rucking was disgraceful. It was like the umpire said, you're not a ruck, you deserve a push!SaintDippa wrote: ↑Mon 24 Aug 2020 1:33am At least it was one HTB.

I wish on a Tuesday or Wednesday, the umpires decisions in each game were critiqued & published. Ultimately it would make them better. Being untouchable certainly hasn't. It might also help us understand & offer "closure" to our gaping wound.

Re: 68 tackles One holding the ball
first time all year I lost my cool and shouted f'ing and blinding at umpires yesterday. The amount of times a Lions player took the ball and just turned and backed into the tackle (looking at you Rayner - at least twice) rather than make an attempt was just infuriating. Whilst we were lucky to be in the game with all of their misses, I somehow still felt robbed ......

Re: 68 tackles One holding the ball
The umpires cant seem to find the even ground? Its either over officiated or back to their old ways when players get way too much prior opportunity.

I take it you didn't watch the Adelaide game then.
