Ref needs to get some balance, Saints are offending without the prospect of getting a yellow card.

That said, some of our play has been very poor. When I hoped we wouldn't be the same as last week, I had hoped that the trajectory would have been upwards.

What sort of officiating is this. Why can the TMO only see Wasps infringe. Countless penalties in their 22 but no yellow. I'm still not sure what Gaskell was yellowed for. That said we've been error strewn when it matters. Once again I think we've just given ourselves too far to come back. Saints penalties have denied us tries. Our penalties have been stupid.

Correct on both accounts. Random scrum penalties, not officiating the breakdown and I wasn't even sure Gaskell knew he's touched the guy. Pedantry of the first order. Added to us playing like our brains have been removed. Zombie Wasps...

They ought to have 2 in the bin for red zone penalties.

Gaskell clearly shoulder barged Ludlam in the back, long after the ball had gone and with no attempt to use arms, it was definitely a yellow.

Officials aren't too blame for this, we are.

Absolute cluster from Wasps. In the words of a deadly missed mate of mine, "get a grip, you need to de-fuck this."

Why did they go for a scrum, they're a lotter with this crowd of officials, the line out is more secure?

Thank you Rob Miller, a player who I think has been hard done by in recent years.

Hmm, ref appears to have grown a pair during the break.

Back 3 playing much better than last week. Looking sound under the high ball and running with confidence.
