Pickeral
I have tried so much harder this season to stop being so hard on the refs, but unfortunately, he has never been upto it, I still recall his debut game reffing Northland
I find it impossible to not be critical of the officiating as it is... Not for a moment do I suggest it's easy....
Its simply a mess with the NZ refs in particular.. Inconsistent from one moment to the next...I would be interested to have more transparency from the referees during the week and actually let us in on how they are looking to interpretate different areas of the game etc..

yeah unfortunately tseems like they are all but a secret society.
I assume they must have some ranking system they use that helps with match appointments, maybe they should be releasing this sort of information or at least more data (like Pickerell has the most resets)

I haven't been following the thread, and I am a Highlanders fan.
But is anyone else worried about Aaron Smith being blatantly offside at a ruck in the lead up to the second try by the clan?
But to be honest I've given up on decent ref/TMO decisions, it's swings and roundabouts, I just treat it like the random bounce of an odd shaped ball

Ozzies are
That's OK then. I don't know what the TMO protocols are these days but I would have been OK with that being looked at by the TMO if within 2 phases.

I think 2 phases is not a thing any more.

Man have the Force made a single dominant tackle all game? These guys are absolutely phoning this shit in.
Landers have been so lazy with ruck penalties, maybe cos they're so dominant in the game and happy to give them. But coach killer lazy penalties

Could well be.
I feel like I am only half a step from being a grumpy old man shaking my fist and saying "would never have been allowed in my day..."

I can't believe I'm saying this... But has Gregory actually played well so far🤔

It's amazing Kahui is still playing given he was always injury prone.

That's probably why!
