They Warriors were average against the Cowboys in losing 18-12, but one fact is clear. The video ref, Steve Nash denied the Warriors a try under the posts in what is by far and away the absolute worst refereeing decision this year. And the season is far from over!
Wade McKinnon scored a brilliant individual try, but Steve Nash decided that Wairangi Koopu had obstructed a defender and penalised the Warriors. It was plain to see this was not the case.
So the ref cost us 6 points. We lost the game by 6 points. The math is so easy my unborn child could do it.
The Warriors played poorly, and probably did not deserve to win. But really, that’s irrelevant. They lost by 6 and the ref cost us 6. Sometimes in sport the better team loses.
Referees very rarely cost teams games, but in this case, the worst refereeing decision of the year cost us 6 points. It maybe cost us the game as well.
