What did tom lynch do to the umps?

Or do they just have to persecute a tiger KPF?

No wonder Harris Andrews is seen as one of the best defenders in the game....

Rance has never had service like that from the umps!

Nice to read such a balanced, thoughtful post about umpiring,

I'll read The Guardian if I want balanced.

green maggots did everything they could, without the ACCC becoming involved, to keep in Brisbane in the game today.

Lost the frees again.

The Lynch block
The dusty fend off
Play on after a 50 wtf

AND

Why don’t we get prior opportunity when the number of times the lions took on the tackler and ball up

I’ve seen enough.

A shoulder charge is illegal in the NRL.

On at least two occasions we were pinged for holding the ball, when the prior opportunity issue was ignored, but more importantly, there was a flagrant front on launch at the tigers opponent.

Was such a tackle likely or possible to cause injury? Think about it MRO?

Is that tackling part of AFL? Jumping into an opponent!

Jeez, even the doofus in the NRL ban it!

One of those games where you just wait with baited breath for another shocking decision.

I’m still trying to recall if my eyes deceived me or not...

On the mcc members wing, after we kicked out from the backline the ball hit the ground and bounced high. High enough that it was almost like a marking contest. But it wasn’t. It had hit the ground and was ‘in play’. Brissy player double fists it over the boundary. No ‘deliberate’ called.

Did that actually happen, or did I see it wrong?

It did happen and you’ll find the ump said it was ok because it was a marking contest....

o_Oo_O is that seriously what he said? I'm just watching back the replay now. There was some seriously strange decisions in that 2nd quarter and they all seemed to go against us.
