Northland v The Bay
-
Heremaia was held back as much as Gatland in the building up to that

Well i have tried hard this year not to criticise the refs when they are shit, as I know they have a hard job....

This guy was terrible. And TMO was no where to be seen. I never criticise refs but abysmal.

Some strange calls both ways - players look confused
That pass which was clearly forward from the hands and no TMO intervention. Rugby does itself no favours when it is so amateur.
I was very relieved when it wasn't reviewed and didn't really understand why it wasn't

Better team have won despite the poor officiating , that last ruck summed up the Taniwha effort , thats where the game was won at the breakdown , thought the effort was way down from the Harbour game
Matich summed up it well , calls did’nt go there way but you cant keep putting yourself in those situations
Congratulations to the Bay and best wishes for the playoffs -

Plus in the lead up to your final try. TTT picks up the ball ( like he has all the time in the world ) our guy knocks his hand, he spills the ball forward and BOP get scrum. Our possession and we kick to corner.
That said BOP dominated but not really good enough to put us away.

@Duluth well said , just seen those pictures on too many occasions , expect a few players to be moved on before the 2024 season.

We just make it so hard for ourselves, fading in and out so often, not sure our kicking game is up to what we were trying to achieve, plus we looked better when we spread it wider.

After the first replay I was hoping to see them cut to a hastily taken conversion to avoid a TMO review. But neither happened.

Conversions don't stop TMO reviews anymore

@Donsteppa with the crowd booing the ref just stood resolutely with his back to the screen, got to admire his confidence/arrogance...
