How do we feel about Marius?
@StevieS (Comment 1) : No harm done i feel he has his moments but he is mostly consistent. I see greef is gone again. I wonder why
Just wonder why we couldn’t have had Berry,would be the first time we had a local ref since What Bartmann was captain.
Marius is brilliant…
@pastorshark (Comment 4) : They’re all brilliant.
@McLovin (Comment 5) : It’s like asking which traffic officer is the best – all depends on what you’re trying to get away with.
@StevieS (Comment 1) : How does Marius feel about us?
Would have preferred Angus, but not a bad panel as long as greeff is not there we’ll be fine
@jdolivier (Comment 8) : We’re playing neither of the Lions nor kiwi teams, ref bias should be well within acceptable standards.
@FireTheLooser (Comment 9) : Even though he makes mistakes, Angus Gardener is actually not a bad ref, quite rate him. Well rate him higher than the homegrown Muppets
@McLovin (Comment 5) : Are you getting paid by the ref PR campaign squad? 😉
@McLovin (Comment 5) : On a less serious note what was your take on the stormers disintegration from such a disciplined performance the one week to a slap fest the next week?
@coolfusion (Comment 12) : A lot of the same shit went on against the Chiefs as well.
@McLovin (Comment 5) : We so agree… 😆
@jdolivier (Comment 10) : Jeepers, but he missed a lot in the Sharks Jaguars game…
