Chiefs vs Hurricanes

[Stag]

One of the worst performances by a NZ ref for a very very long time.

[canefan]

Shit, we got lucky there. Shouldn't have been that close

[KiwiMurph]

That was an underwhelming finish

[Stag]

@canefan you should have lost

[hydro11]

I mean the Chiefs can't complain about the calls. They conceded a mountain of penalties, and only one yellow.

[Donsteppa]

Nicely closed out by the Canes in the end.

[canefan]

Come on Saders, do us a solid please...

[Machpants]

Jeez that was messy, stressful.

[Tim]

Chiefs should have turned up in the first half.

[Canes4life]

Fuck yes boys. Man I’m happy, especially after that bullshit red.

[Machpants]

Yeah both sides stiffed by the ref, but a wins a win

The passage after that YC/ red was our best

Hugely entertaining game when Williams wasn't needlessly blowing his whistle.

Thought that last penalty was a big call - looked like he was trapped by the cleaners. But the better team on the night got the biscuits.

Be careful what you wish for 😉

Looked a pretty clear cut red to me, with the way it’s reffed these days.

It was an ugly tackle, put himself at the mercy of the ref and lost out

Those have been penalties for years, no excuses, don't get yourself in that position. I'm not saying I'm agreeing, but that's what it's been ruled for ages.

But so much whistle, means lots of penalties were wrong and equally bad things missed.

[Winger]

Funny sort of game. But very enjoyable

Cameron has easily his best game this year. Proctor was outstanding. One player who we can't lose as it showed in recent weeks.

IWL was much better compared to recent performances too.

[Dan54]

Geez what a great game. Canes forwards tired a bit in 2nd half, but they were good enough in the end. I reckon I saw 2 bloody good 13s out there tonight too. I am stoked, and just told Mrs Dan, we off down to Caketin ln a couple of weeks.

Don't disagree, it's just that so often refs recognise that there's a difference between unable to move because you're trapped and being slow to roll away. On first viewing I thought it was more the former, especially given how long he took to do anything.
