quite disappointed to see a coach round on the referee immediately after the game today. Unnecessary and inaccurate as well, the ref did an excellent job and was far and away the best ref I have seen this season.
Quite agree Foal. Unpleasant to say the least. I chatted with the ref a bit later on, he was not happy with it but wouldn't be filing a complaint, just mentioning it in despatches.
The stress of coaching the pre-season favourites only to find the team second bottom in the league after the first round must be getting to him. At least he's consistent, when the team fails to fire he shoots the referee every time.
If the ref did decide to put in a complaint there were plenty of witnesses including Braithwaite's wife and family who were all right there as he went off. A fine example from the coach of the regions premier team, CU Dragons.
I also agree with your assessment of the ref, thought he was definitely one of the better ones so far this season.
