Indeed SP. I was on level two At the Coventry end and had a perfect view of the contests in the second and last quarters. Some of the infringements they "missed" we're staggering, especially as there was an ego nearby on each occasion. How do they get away with calling free kicks from 80 metres away, when they can't see blatant transgressions right in front of them?SaintPav wrote:At one stage 3 Brisbane Bears players were blocking/holding him off the ball.White Winmar wrote:What a privilege to see the great man in action today.

On another note, despite the fact he's a renowned ball player, he receives terrible treatment from the umpires. With all the holding, pushing and arm chopping, he could'Ve kicked twelve or more today, if the "egos in lime and grey" had been fair dinkum. What does he have to do? Others seem to be able win frees far more easily.

What about the the non 50 to Roo after Sauce belted him across the back of the head AFTER he took the mark? Disgraceful and blatant miss.
Kudos to Leppa for not going the tank when he was entitled too though hate seeing those cheats with the no 1 pick. Always refreshing to see somone behaving with integrity, particularly in this day and age.
