Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 2811827, member: 8423"] The refs had a bearing on the game, the injuries had a bearing on the game, errors had a bearing on the game and that happens but my biggest gripe, and I was saying it throughout, is kicking for penalties. NQ get away with murder in the ruck and they hold down for so long and do so much dirty stuff because it works. They know they will at times be penalised but they also know no one will go to the bin. If hey get penalised, they get a breather and time to reset their line. It benefits them tactically and physically because they are a big side and bigger guys generally tire quicker. A penalty goal breaks momentum for the attacking team and undoes a lot of the side to side and early kicks we were doing to turn their big boys around. Earlier in a game I can understand it but at the Death, go for broke. You lose, you lose but at least you aren't ruined by an extra ten minutes of extra time and ANOTHER mental hurdle. Such a stupid decision in the context of the game. [/QUOTE]
