Disgraceful,  pathetic,  deplorable

Call it whatever you want

Their efforts today have impacted on this game.

Benny Gale has been fantastic, but he's a snowflake soft eggplant 🍆... Graeme Richmond would have killed someone by now re the umpires. Gale is a politician, politically correct snowflake

Umpires! umpires! umpires!





........... meanwhile the team implements one armed tackles consistently misses easy fundamental handballs and no pressure kicks and accepts one armed body slaps as legitimate tackling.  :help :rollin

I don't know why everyone is upset about the umpires.. I hate them, I spent so much energy hating them for their blatant discrimination.. but then I realised, hey the RFC don't give a f, so why should I.
Time to shift your anger from the umpires, and direct it to the club.. the club has had a decade to deal with this but does nothing . RFC he has become weak because we are SOFT FROM THE TOP DOWN.. FISH ROTS AT THE HEAD

Time for the club to show some guts and make a formal complaint about the umpiring

They previously have had a manager go hard at a review and cracked , might be partly why they are so biased
