Subject: Poor officials, and other observations

Yet another set of poor officials last night, once again spoilt the game by not using the yellow card for deliberately slowing the game down and blatant foul play.
They failed to spot many off the ball incidents, mainly deliberate taking out of men off the ball. One of the linesmen managed to pass a thinly veiled two fingers to the family stand (ok he was getting a lot of grief but nothing over the top)
It's about time they realised that we pay a lot of money to watch week in and week out and make sure we get some entertainment. We don't come to watch them, which I'm sure some of them think we do. Early enforcement of the sin bin would set the stall out and make for some real rugby.

The preacher's penalty tally managed to go out of the window in the first fifteen minutes, a lot more work needed there.

Rhys Williams is still a liability, one excellent run does not a full back make, time to switch or lose him. Don't play him in the centre though because he can not get the ball back. Wing or Outside Half (utility player ?)

Hudson Man of the Match by a mile, definately goingto be in the Dan the Man hero mold, oh! to have them both in the team.
Got a feeling it's going to be a long frustrating season.
