he never reported every thing I said Tom,in no way is the ref to blame for the loss. It was a great game with a quality side Eastern Suburbs the deserved winners and not do I blame the chances we missed by my quality players who were outstanding I thought.
im a big fan of things balancing out and we did get a bit of luck against Western.
Regarding the ref it is common knowledge that we don't see eye to eye . His assistants had an ok game .2 weeks back we were told a neutral ref from Dunedin would be reffing , he at least would have been strange to both sets of players . Look I could look at it with a patch on but I'm sure neutrals that I have spoken too all had similar views. And if the decisions were correctly given that's not a given the result would have changed. But the game is over and Eastern are top side deservedly in the next round.it was good to see a lot people outside Tech come and support the lads ; even Albi and Thomo
Look forward getting behind the coastal girls in flying the flag for the region
