well there goes my Blues slim chances of making the finals

what have the blues done to get Peyper twice in consecutive games, against two Saffa sides, to absolutely kill any chance they may have had to make the playoffs. IF a Saffa side had Bryce or Stu Dickinson two weeks in a row there’d be hell to pay!

bad enough the kings were brought in to help bolster SA sides chances of making the playoffs, now the sabotage of incompetence extends to the appointment of hometown officials.

eish

hahaha. Peyper should be fine mate. Never saw our game last week was away for the weekend and totally forgot to set my pvr.

You lucky you never got Jaftha. My Sharks have him this week. Damn man, was hoping for any ref but him. Sharks never win with him and he was atrocious when we played Kings in PE. I used to rate him highly, not anymore though.

Walsh was really bad for Sharks in 2007 and again when we played Highlanders this year. If he never reffed that game Sharks would have won it for sure and probably the final in 2007 as well.

I am so against this type of reffing, we HAVE to get back to neutral refs.

So Bulls fan not happy with appointed ref and Sharks fan not happy either, oh boy what a state of confusion this leaves me in, they can’t both lose because of the ref so will it be a draw…
