We had a tap penalty on 5 metres. Before he took it Berigan had to point out to the ref that CATs were ALL standing in field of play no back foot on line. Ref looked surprised when he turned round and looked at them!!! It was worse than soocer free kick 10 'metre' wall!!!

I felt that a couple of mild talking tos for repeated high tackles typified Thalers response to Cats ill discipline.

Perhaps they weren't intentional, as that's the only reason I can think for just a talking to, but an example could do with being made to amend their tackling technique, if nothing else.

I choose not to comment on their delaying tactics.


On the other hand the game kept going and was fairly good to watch I suppose.

Probably due to a technicality that.
Wasn't it on the last play of the ball so the knock on became a turn over?
Not sur eon this point as I'm neither a coach or a ref

i thought thats why i could here more then two weeks ago



agree on your post tho briscoe should of scored from there knock on

I didnt see no knock on either, maybe im wrong and highlights will prove different. I just think the ref blew too early and when Tom was in the clear the ref realised he made a mistake and made his excuse... or maybe im blind

I thought Thaler was very poor. He allowed them to turn our player on the ground after every tackle. The one occassion we did it we got penalised!

I think preventing a quick play of the ball is part of an RFL agenda. During the world cup the pundits were saying that we don't produce quality half backs in this country because in Superleague most tries are scored against disorganised defences through a quick play of the ball. Their idea being that if defences are more organised then half backs must be more skilful and inventive to open them up.

Well that my conspiracy theory.

my thoughts exactly
