You guys realise these are betting odds designed to make the TAB money, right?

[taniwharugby]

@bones what kind of business plan is that?

I could find easily a dozen examples during the game of players on the wrong side that weren’t penalised

Go on then. Is it as easily as Tiatia scores tries?

Do you want circles or arrows?

Probably doesn't matter as long as it spells CHIEFS RULZ

Or Canes, or whoever he’s supporting this week.

@kirwan fucken meeeeeowwww!

I'm hopeless at betting but if I wasn't I'd be looking at the Farce and Brumbles

Edit: typing issues were typing on the phone, ... @Bones

[mariner4life]

even a multi of 4 kiwi teams and the Brumbies pays less than $6

[Bones]

Berry gets rewarded with a top of the table clash.

And yet Amy Perrett can't get a gig. Astonishing.

[Bones]

@antipodean she changed her name to Graham Cooper so she could get paid the same as the other refs.

[barbarian]

@bones Well this is the Trans Ta$man Comp, after all

[Canes4life]

@bones lol after the Waratahs try where he blatantly impeded the Canes from tackling the ball carrier, I’m surprised he’s even reffing this week. That was also after an obvious crooked throw aswell which made it even more sceptical.

[Bones]

I mean, it's been decades and some people still think I'm deadly serious. Baffling.

Side note on that - can a TMO rule on a crooked throw? It's the touchie's call rather than the ref, but on replay that throw was clearly bent enough to be called back.

I'm less worried about the ref obstruction, his positioning was fine and if an All Black did it he'd be lauded for an intelligent play. Aaron Smith has been doing it for decades.

I think the difference is that Smith isn't named as the ref, despite being in charge of the game.
