Quote="Bartholemew Smythe"Being in the North Stand and about 20 m away it was an appalling decision by the ref.......... Did anyone see Thug Jackson going in with both feet when we scored by the posts... the ref had a word but no more......
'"
I was within earshot after the try was scored and heard hobson tell the ref to sort jackson or he would,and yes his foot was over the line for their try.
Quote="BIG GAZ"Having seen the game on dvd , I've got to agree about some of the peculiar decisions made by the Ref , especially in certain instances where he just chose to totally ignore the linesman.
Seemed like Haven had 2 players binned for the same offence and although we had a better penalty count for , than in the Fev game , seemed like Haven rarely got punished for lying on and interference after the sin binnings. Meaning no more players binned.
Lavulavu's cheap shot on Donlan was dispicable , he wasn't fast enough to make the tackle so chose to stop Donlan in whatever way he could , legal or not . Hope something is done with the on report via a disciplinary

Maybe it would have been a red in another match but I would have been annoyed if one of ours had been banned for that tackle. Its not netball and I dont think it was vicious. Just big and daft.
But, big forwards know exaclty the likely outcome of a quick lad skipping round you at full pelt and what happens if you try and adjust your tackle, so cant complain if they get harshly penalised for it.

It's an arrestable offence if done at the wrong moment!!
