I haven’t been able to do anything about it while at work ... it would be good if the member can fix it up himself. Pretty obvious he should never have posted that and I’d expect a lot better from people on here.

Completely agree and that was by no means a shot at you as the only active admin.

Would have thought given the responses that common sense would prevail and they would delete the post, but we move on :)

Strange co-incidence - I just looked to see who is younger - Best or Young.
They were both born 9th August 2001 - Twins?

Absolutely crazy that there are players in first grade now for who 9/11 was a few months after they were born ...

Totally. I just find all the abuse at Shibasaki a bit much, he’s what, third choice reserve for the backline (and Hoy would probably get a run before him as well), playing out of position ... there were other players that needed to lead the way a bit more ... but overall there’s so many injuries there wasn’t a lot left to do that, in the backline especially.

Playing out of position or not Shibasaki has always shown he has feet for hands and is barely reserve grade standard.

Believe he was in his favoured centre position last year against my mob when he gifted us possession multiple times early on in the game because he can’t hold onto the ball.

Once was 5 yards out from our goal line in the first couple minutes.
 
Why was Young not allowed to run the length and score they lost the ball he couldn't quite grab it drops onto shin kicks regains posession and runs away with it . What was wrong there .

We didn't have a challenge left....I'm unsure why the bunker can't chime in there.

Poor refereeing is why. But swings and roundabouts and all that.

Ricky is blowing up about the ref decision that cost them. Where is OB pointing out that poor call where young was away and going to score, or the player jumping from outside the field of play to catch a ball?

If Young scores that try, nobody would be complaining about his debut.

I still believe, you play well you dont need to rely on refs calls vast majority of the time.
 
The dragons dropped the ball two tackles after the touchie got the call wrong and we got it straight back on their 30m.
It didn't cost us anything.

As for the young no try you'd have to look in the rule book for the exact wording, but I think for what he did to be play on it needs to be an "intentional" kick. To me it looked like he dropped the ball and it happened to hit his knee as he was running. Ref flips a coin for those I guess.

When the player jumps from out of field i played that slow and the ball actually lands on the line it should have been a forty twenty anyway .

Yeah, they commented on that in the coverage, I can forgive missing that but the jump was blatant.
