Not Henry p, the other one, what's his name?
As a ref myself I enjoy the way he communicates with the players, in particular, anasta in the first half.

Steve Lyons?

The reffing in this game has become a talking point post match. Both sides were left scratching their heads at times. Mindst you a lot of the talking is coming from Brian Smith, losing coach, backed by 'hardly-say-a-word' Braith Anasta.The ending of the game was a bit ramshackle with at least half a minutes play being wasted before the hooter went..
The video ref made calls that we puzzling.

Yep, I've read a bit of reaction.
Some calls were a bit odd, the simultaneous grounding? and the end was messy, the incorrect ptb could have been pen but because it wasn't deliberate, a scrum restart CAN be awarded. Once awarded though, I would have pinged the warriors with a diff pen, cos the 2nd row was refusing to bed down.

Talking of dodgy vr decisions, what did you think of mead pinching the ball of barbas toes in yesterdays game.

... or today in the Cowboys game when Matt Bowen kicked forward near the line and was chasing through to get it when professional foul - holding him back by shirt- meant he couldn't get to the ball.
Penalty try should have been awarded. As it was just a penalty kick given (2 pts) and the offender was allowed to stay on - should have been sin binned.

Just watching that now, recorded from this morning. The score should be irrelevant, boyds gotta be binned!

Nice soccerball try at the end there.

Not often you see tries like that.
Thought Thurston is showing some good form. Matt Bowen is fantastic at the back under the high ball espec for a small bloke.
