[QUOTE="d1e1m, post: 415257, member: 40554"] Agreed Cooky, he did seem to award that penalty out of frustration, at most should've called for reset. Only thing that occurs to me is that maybe he saw their actions as more deliberate from his close inspection. I don't agree with the call but regardless, he missed a lot from both teams. Then again, neither team really looked like they got out of first gear except for the SHarks forwards in terms of counter-rucking. To be fair, I don't see too many Sharks fans complaining about the overall loss because except for that first try, they didn't really threaten until Jacobs and other subs were made late in the second half. The injury to Alberts really threw off their game plan but even then, it was difficult to see where an attacking threat was going to be generated. Sure Pietersen and Mvovo are very dangerous wide men but they weren't getting the service required from Freddie, Terblanche (as highly regarded as he is, I think he's a year or so past it) and Bosman. If the Sharks had a better backline they would have threatened but in the end it was a case of the more complete and more clinical team inthe Crusaders getting the scrappy win. [/QUOTE]
