It was the inconsistency I hated. He's normally hot on in from the side at maul. At the end of the first half we had a nice maul trundling towards the line and he shouted that Shingler was fine as he hadn't broken his bind ignoring the two in from the sides right in front of him.simonokeeffe wrote:Viral content aside he wasnt great, was too soft on repeated and or red zone infringements especially by Shingler
The maul he called against Ross Maloney in the second half was completely different to the way he had reffed in LR the week before. We went for a number of chokes in LR and he called tackle only, RM was held for at most 2 seconds before his knee hit the ground and Nigel called maul.
There was another one where a scarletts player blocked the cleaner, the exact same as he penalised Dev for in LR.
The penalty count was against us in a game we dominated. He was just poor.
