Not for a local maybe

Pathetic refereeing though. 
Australian ref? Must be.

yes it is.

Should've been a yellow for Reds 19 trying to kick ball out of Guyton's hand.

Ummm....didn't the Reds loosehead just walk around and fall over? Blues get penalised?

You can't expect the TMO and Andrew Lees to be aware of a Law that had clarification within the last six months. That would require competence.

Blues aren't going to make the playoffs drawing games. Terrible call.

Rancid Schnitzel

Suck shit Stiles you fat pig.

Bones

Oh geez....go for the win man. The Blues looked fucking awful in that last attacking period. No idea what to do with the ball!

Canerbry

Don't worry everyonez, Tana's rebuilding a new culture.

African Monkey

Meh knowing us we wouldn't have scored so I can see why we went for goal.

Glath

Neither team deserved a win for that imo.

Stargazer

On a positive note, the Blues are not the first team to lose to the bloody Reds this season.

antipodean

I'm just ecstatic the Reds still haven't won a game.

MOTM Andrew Lees and our scrum.

Lees. Has wrecked every game he has reffed this year. 
Feigns competence by talking like a traffic cop but is way out of tune with the game in front of him. 
When you see players all look at the ref in anticipation when the whistle goes you know they have no idea what he is going to call. 
That last scrum penalty hat had the YC was a good example of his style. Once he had given a warning you knew that whatever happened at the next scrum he would do it. The Blues TH did nothing wrong at all. He kept pinging the Blues for "not earning the turn" but that was a clear example of the Blues being square and the Reds turning. 
Not his fault that the Blues had tits for hands though.

Bones

Oh look, a Cantabrian taking joy in a NZ team losing to an Aussie team. Quelle surprise. Classy stuff.

ACT Crusader

A cripple fight if I've ever seen one. Reds lacked organisation in defence. Blues lacked ideas in attack.

Ref had nothing to do with shoddy midfield defence, poor handling and lack of attacking ideas. 
Was really surprised at how lethargic some of the Blues looked tonight.

Yup can't argue there. Visinia looked a million bucks in the first 20 before deciding to leave his hands behind him. Li was worse. Sa'u and Moala's miss on Kerevi was a disgrace as well. Looked like they didn't care at that stage. 
 
Still think the ref was awful so it was hard to get anything going on attack with him in the Reds back pocket. Our bench really got us out of jail tonight (not that a draw is worth celebrating).
