Solid win by the Tahs

Did anyone watch this game? Sorry to sound like a broken record, but man was the officiating bad!? Telling the Sharks that time was up and they could kick it out, when in fact there was still time remaining, causing the Sharks to throw the lineout. What if that resulted in a try? It could have very well done. And the penalty for the 'high tackle', complete nonsense imo - he merely slipped into it as his trajectory was headed downwards. I realize referees are humans and not machines, but some of the errors made this season is schoolboy stuff.

The concerning thing is, some of this is happening right in front of the TMO's nose - or the touch judge's nose. It's as if they are giving work experience to the blind foundation. Either that or they are just retarded.

Its almost getting to the point where you wonder if there is a bit of bias going on here this game was a real doozie for some crazy calls going on thats for sure.

How are the TMO's getting all this so wrong? 7 out of 10 times it seems to be the TMO which has totally cocked up what seems pretty obvious to everybody else.

The Ref clearly asked him about the beale tackle yet he seemed to ignore it and go to the grounding.... its just friggin not right! The try would of been scored for sure if it wasnt for the beale illegal charge on the line......

Yes It was particularly bad officiating last night. Sharks copped some shockers

 

[Car]

The refereeing is approaching the bad level you see in soccer and they don't even have a TMO.

Even as an Aussie, Rohan Hoffman was clearly biased.

What annoyed me the most was against the Rebels, the ball was not carried back and when Debreczeni kicked it out, Rohan Hoffman deemed it "carried back". the TMO told him it wasn't and he said he'd made his decision - move on. The Tah's score a try from the resulting set piece.

This week, the Tahs seem to carry the ball back in before Folau kicks it out. he says it was carried back and after the crowd boo and players complain, it's reviewed and deemed not carried back.

Where was the review when the Tahs played the Rebels? or does it only apply when it benifits the Tahs?

There was also nothing wrong with Sithole's try, possible shoulder charge on Beale too.
