Yeah. Not much spark in the back line there and some rough decision making at 10.

He should keep his mouth shut. You can't change a tendency of the last 10 years in a blink of an eye

Shitty game. Dropped ball, scrum, chuck it about for 10 seconds, dropped ball, scrum, rinse repeat.
Huge defensive effort from NSFW. All for nought though as when all was said and done.....

would have been nice to grab a losing bonus point against the clear premier front runners, but to my eye this was more like the tahs of 22.
if it wasnt for the shit short passing game at times, and some silly penalties, we might have made a better showing of it.
im glad my ralp wiggum meme prediction for the game didnt eventuate, and we while we were in danger it wasnt a blow out danger.
ps welcome back hoops, was a good defensive shift!

Watching it late. How the hell is an Aussie referee. Giving all the calls to the chiefs ? Even clean out at 13 min. It's in the side so should have been called a penlaty. And then they don't even care anymore that a guy goes head first into a ruck and almost kills parese. Jesus help me.

Ref had time to have a look while Perese was getting his white swimming cap put on him too. Surely a penalty there at least.

I don't think that's blaming the ref for losing but in every game for the last 3 years that's a red and they didn't even award a penlaty. It shows why people don't watch rugby. It's ridiculously inconsistent.

People don't watch rugby because there wasn't a red card? I've officially heard it all.

That’s not what was said. People don’t watch rugby because the officiating is inconsistent.

People don’t watch rugby in Australia because the masses who don’t like to think too hard watch League. Simpler game lends itself to simpler refereeing.

Watched at a mates birthday so I missed heaps. Just re watched now:
The first thing I thought was the Chiefs were very flat and the Tahs blew an opportunity even with so many injuries.
1st Half attack was terrible. The amount of ball runners and receivers getting it flat footed or having just made a stutter step looked like a team that had not played together. I’m concerned this is a Jake Gordon thing at this point and his style and tempo just isn’t made for a team style game play. He’s an athlete playing Halfback.
I thought Harris worked his ass off and he might put Swinton out of a job soon. Hooper, Gable, Gleeson, Harris…. Just a thought.
Tolu had impact when he came on. Is his leg alright? Basically casted in tape.
I thought Wilson looked very lively when he got on off the bench. Big and athletic. Was running nicely into the gap.
Hate doing ref chat but Jordan is below standard. Not straight line outs, forward passes the list could go on. If he was a super rugby player he’d be dropped.

Rugby should be a simple game to Ref as well. We’ve allowed it to get to a point the ref is a Compliance Officer now.
