"Pot, this is Kettle, colour check,over?"
you know what? it's fucking disgraceful that a coach is allowed to say that shit. I would be more than happy with a $20k fine straight up for it. He's essentially saying the refs of previous Crusader games are either biased; incompetent; or both. That's before the ridiculously blatant attempt to get the refs to rule in favour of his side this weekend. How is this shit allowed to stand?
Who the fuck would be a ref in a rugby code? What a shit job.

Long live us getting away with things for many years to come.
My only disappointment is that Glen Jackson won’t be reffing this weekend.

The poor old Lions really are like the winners of the NBA Eastern Conference. Only without the best player in the game (well, it would be 3 players wouldn't it).

"There is a reason why there are 10 metres at a scrum, I looked at TJ Perenara when he touched that ball they are already five metres away, it can't be. They have to be 10 until the ball is out. Those are the little things that we will address."
That's hilarious.
What is a hit on the left side of the loosehead?

@bones I always thought it was 5m at scrums, 10m at lineouts....guess you learn somethign new everyday.
-
@taniwharugby duh. It's obviously 20m at lineouts.
He's going to have fun addressing those.

@chris-b Jaapie Retard nothing changes they have been cheating for years just ask the Allblacks from years ago thats why we never could win over there
Every SA I know says the same thing about their teams touring in NZ around that time.
Swings & Roundabouts I suppose.

What does he mean 10 metres at the scrum, anyway- the cheating Jaapie.
There should be at least 15 metres - more with those giant SA locks!
Actual genuine question ... isn't it 5m?
Yep.
(But keep it quiet... if the saffas want to stand 10m back, let them continue) -

Ticket prices way up. I have season tickets but it’s an extra $85 for each ticket for the final. Price to public for same seats $120. To sit in a crappy stand built on scaffolding. Getting a bit greedy I think.
They've lost touch with the fans.. So many people I know aren't going because of the price.
Sell out should be a priority, price tickets accordingly.. $120 for seats that cost $50 in the regular season is shit.
Especially in that shit stadium where they can't even guarantee we will have a big screen for replays if we get a slight breeze during the day.Yep. I agree. But playing devils' advocate, they need to make some hay while the sun shines; hosting two SA teams in the finals ain't cheap and it's not like they can get an extra 10,000 people along all of a sudden. I would expect to pay a bit more for the final, should I have needed to. Luckily I haven't had to pay for tickets though (in fact this is my fifth game at the dump this season and I've not had to pay for a ticket at all).

Swys: They're standing 5m away
Ref: yep, I'm happy with that
Swys: YOU FILTHY CHEAT
Ref: [i dunno, some funny emoji thing here]

On the actual game, I think nine times out of ten we'd clean them up under these circumstances. There's been a helluva media beat-up about Malcolm Marx which appears to be the only thing keeping people thinking the Lions will be in it. But he's only one player. I'd expect Kwagga Smith to join him in turning in a blinder given the occasion and circumstances so perhaps they'll have a couple of guys who individually can match the Crusaders pack in terms of performance, but as a unit our eight will be too good, and then when Jantjes craps the bed on the big stage again under pressure from our guys, it'll all fall apart. So I predict a fairly tight first 50 minutes but then - as has often been the pattern this season against the better sides - we'll pull away with around 30 to go. I'd put $30 on the Lions at $7 so that I would come away with $200 as consolation if we lost, but this week I just think I may as well grab the cash and put a match to it as this would have the same effect.
