Reds v Highlanders

[Toddy]

Did the Reds player try and dip his head into the ground after he'd already landed and stopped moving? Looked like a wired movement.

[Chris]

Come on Landers stick it up these biased officials.

@Damo Agree, but Berry is a former Reds player. He shouldn't be officiating this game. He's notoriously biased.

Is he really?

I doubt any referees are actually biased. I just don't think it's possible to referee a game with a conscious bias.

This is what I love about going along to a club game on a Saturday afternoon ..No TMO ..heaps of stuff gets missed but we play on ..off to bed

He might be rubbish but I won't let you call him a cheat.

If anything he probably be biased the other way.

Eh? I didn't call him a cheat! It was a joke.

[Mattasaurus]

Reds miles offside again... No call

[Chris]

That was dumb Hunt .

[Bones]

Jesus fucking fuck Hunt you will be the death of me. You learn when you're ten you can't do that.

[KiwiMurph]

Petaia loves a loose offload

[Stargazer]

A lot of ABs who toured SA in the old days would likely dispute that.

I also watched a match between Hamilton Boys and Hastings Boys where the ref was a straight up cheat. Was during Hikas time. One of my mates who was watching (an Of Plenty-er) actually made a complaint to Waikato Rugby.

Potentially a double yellow = red later in the game

Fair enough. Wrong target. My bad.

Nobody should call him a cheat though. I don't believe it's possible.

Yes like the penalties that didn’t go through the posts that got awarded.
Some shockers back then .
