Crusaders vs Sharks

@Stargazer yep no doubt the Ref was shocking 2 kickable penalties awarded for not releasing the ball both are Rucks the Sharks should not of had their hands on the ball
3 times Moodey was penalised because the idiot ref couldn’t understand the Sharks were pulling back on the Crusaders ball.
Really poor Ref doesn’t read the game at all. -

Dunshea is an undersized lock at club level, against a big African forward pack he’s never going to provide any impact. Hopefully the blues sign him next year.
Bitch fluffybunny can fuck off to the highlanders. Absolutely terrible game.
We (almost) lost that game because of our coaching teams ego, Robertson has never rated Romano and needs to get over that and pick him ahead of both Dunshea and Strange.
Too much blaming the ref on this forum as usual... sharks deserved to win.

Ok. Am only up to half time in my viewing of the replay. Am tired and will watch the rest in the morning.
But christ Pickerell is a fucking awful referee. He's the anti-Jackson. Looking for every excuse to rule against the home team.
Fuck.
Sharks scrambling and not particularly impressive in the first half but riding the back of a few favourable decisions ahead by 2.
Hopefully the Evil Empire found a way to get home from here.
Taylor Moody Read good in the first 40.

Yep. Matched only in sheer awfulness by the Crusaders constant knock-ons, stupid penalties and general ineptitude.
-
That game can basically be summed up as Bosch drilling penalties, before the Crusaders hammered away at the line, turning the screw, until the last gasp try was the final nail in the Sharks hopes of victory.
In other news, I'm hearing Hansen has given Goodhue an ultimatum: get a haircut or face missing out on the RWC.
-
NB: I don't like to knock a guy who no doubt gives his all, but Dunshea was really a passenger out there.
Also, I really don't think the Crusaders need to keep Jager on their books. It's a heartwarming story and all, but I'm not even sure he'd get a senior club contract for Leinster.
And finally, metal and other objects have been seen sticking to Joe Moody. He certainly has been a penalty magnet in recent weeks.

Yeah, but that bloke who wore mascara turned out to be pretty useful
-
One thing I did like that Pickerell did, were 2 'attempted' turn overs where player got in a strong position over the ball but wasnt actually trying to get it, he waved away the calls for a penalty.

And he only got worse.

The Goodhue - Ennor midfield experiment was over as soon as Jordan had to leave the field so Goodhue played most of the game in his favorite position and Ennor on the left wing. Hard to make ourselves an opinion about this combination. Jordan looked sharp and incisive before his injury.
