Signed in to give credit to the umpires. This was an insanely difficult game to umpire. Both sides exceeded 100 tackles. Most of the contests didn’t consist of players taking a half a step so they could arrive to the ball second, apply a tackle and claim a free.
There were many technically illegal disposals. But many of these were ‘insufficient opportunity’.
A recipe for disaster that called for ‘common sense’, consistency from the umpiring team and a feel for the game.
Last nights commentary was rubbish, and yes ling is top of the pile. They honestly need to start fresh. There should be one special comments that is an explayer, other than that employ proper commentators i.e. jason bennett. They need to get rid of this ex star player becomes commentator mentality because bar one or two they are rubbish. BT can go fist himself with a mic, because I would rather that than listen to him. It is hard to pin point when the commentary went bad because it has been bad for so long. Finally time to go bruce, I used to think he was good but for the last five years or so he has become terrible with this over the top hyperbole. I mean calling cyril delicious and last night with the bont call he strides majestically, honestly give it a rest.
And FFS!!!
