Sort of fits in with my analysis in the original post - he likes to mix it but this season he hasn't been allowed to. The Referee on Sunday seemed to be interpreting the guidelines in total opposition to most refs we've had so far this season.
It was good seeing CBR and Nevitt together. However, there are strong hints that Long will be fit again and, as mentioned above, the last referee was an exception in terms of allowing play to go on.

Agree. The referee was consistent with his decisions for both teams.
It was good to see a referee not falling for the “turn back on opponent, feel minimal contact and fall over dramatically “ routine.

Yes, that particular routine gets my goat, too (except when Travis used to do it!!!). But he also allowed a bit more physical contact general hence why CBR enjoyed himself so much. Hope there are more like him, in that respect.
