I apologise if this is repeating what has been come before, but I have a serious beef with the way the referee ruled around the ruck w.r.t.
Wayde Egan.
Firstly, the Bunnies lying in the ruck so that we literally cannot play the ball at worst, and degrading our options at best, all the while allowing the bunnies to advance on defence as the ball had "cleared the ruck". Hopefully the Gold Coast debacle will result in a clean up of this area this weekend. Can
Wayde pick up the ball and throw it into the defenders? Surely the onus has to be on the defender clearing the ruck, for the good of the spectacle.
Secondly,
Wayde caught markers not square approximately half a dozen times and we had one penalty if my beer impared memory serves me correctly. The are not rewarding his good play and are rewarding professional fouls.
