Me too. They look clueless in the forwards. The fact that Folau pulled off that steal at the kick-off twice in a row suggests someone’s asleep in the Blues. It stuns me they have so much talent and do so little with it. Too dependent on individuals. -

@gt12 I just can’t understand how that wasn’t a try?
Not a hand on him when he got up.
If it were outside of the 22 in a non scoring movement he would have been allowed to crawl another metre...
Which is worse?
I'm with you, I thought it was a try.
However, if being held is classified as every time some one is tackled, and their knees hit the ground with another players hand on them, then I can live with it. But, as you (and I) point out, that's not even close to what happens. So, as a call in this game, I can't see how they can consistently make that call and think it's legit. There should have been 5-10 more penalties like it in the first half, In that case.

That Ioane call is hard. (Watching replay now)
He’s not held when he stands back up again. I’m happy with that call if it’s consistent.
Yeah right.
It was technically the correct call, when Ioane hit the ground the Tahs player still has a hand on him, meaning he is tackled must place the ball.
It has been consistently ruled the other way all year though - provided nobody is touching them when they get up the ref has called play on (which is technically incorrect).
Been a bugbear for me all year so happy to see it actually called, but as you say it's highly unlikely to be consistent.

Blues can be thankful these pricks make as many mistakes as they do

Totally agree. Shit me to tears when a player is tackled and is then able to just get up and go again. So happy for it to be called but the fact that it never otherwise is makes it a complete joke.

The Tahs aren't what you'd call clinical, I mean, when you make The Blues look good...
