[taniwharugby]

reckon with 5 pens in a row within 5m of the line, a YC should have been issued

Lol the ref didn't stop the clock.

When thing to TMO? What the utter fuck

Playing for the 3 point draw now, 3 tries plus draw!

A bonus point for scoring 3 more tries than the opposition, yet only drawing the game... fark!!!

[Rebound]

Really 5 penalties in a matter of 90 seconds on the line. Not even a warning. I hope this fuckin ref never handle any form of rugby ever

[Rancid Schnitzel]

That was some ice cold shit.

[Jailbreak7]

Hunt has been a bit meh, but bloody hell he can fiinish a tight game alright

[Chris B.]

Well done Mitch!

Do we get a bonus point for that? I think we might!

[Chris]

@Rebound agree he’s is giving penalties
At Rucks for us not releasing bullshit

[ACT Crusader]

Great kick.

Has Hunt always had that first step in his approach? That is charge down risky.

[nzzp]

Good fun to watch. Physical sharks, well done. Really brought it.

[MrDenmore]

@Rebound Atrocious referee. Either on the take or incompetent or both.

[taniwharugby]

wake up call for the saders.

mammoth defensive effort by the Sharks, didnt offer much on attack, but as above, didnt need to with all the errors the saders were making in the red zone

[Chris]

@MrDenmore yep 3 tries to 0 and a draw

He let the Crusaders tap and go quickly though. Crusaders could have waited and got the yellow I think.

[taniwharugby]

@hydro11 that 15 sec quick tap?

[African Monkey]

@hydro11 Yes people would have then blamed the ref for stopping the Crusaders momentum if he stopped play to give a yellow out.

[Rebound]

@hydro11 But should it matter. Nothing prevents the ref from issuing the yellow afterwards

[Jailbreak7]

@taniwharugby Yep I'd say. With Sammy and Ritchie restored to the team they look a lot better.
Can;t rest on their laurels though.

That was the earlier quick tap wasn't it? The final quick tap was after a double advantage for offside and head high IIRC. Then they weren't back ten. I don't think anything was yellow worthy before that. Sharks had only conceded 6 penalties in the first 77 minutes so you deserve credit for that.

He should have issued one after the Crusaders scored but probably no point as it was full time.

But there was no warning prior to that. So it was a 50/50 proposition whether a YC would’ve been given and given how the game was being managed I’m glad we took the tap.
