Problem 4: Ross decides not to tag the gutless coward puncher in the first 1/4. He should have been pissing in his boots and mentally stuffed not knowing where the next bump was coming from instead was able to get 10 possessions, WC have 5 goals to 1 and a 26 pt first 1/4 lead. He built his confidence with the crowd's cheers and went on to get 35 possessions. If you wanted to shut the crowd up why wasn't he given a tough but fair tag to take him mentally and physically out of the game. He should have had zero possessions that quarter but wasn't even pressured.
Going in to the game, the umpires eyes would have been on GAGF to make sure he wasn't targeted and they probably would have been quick on the whistle for that. We removed any chance for the umps to do this, at the end of the day we ended up with 19 frees for to WCE 12 - someone forgot to tell the umps that they were there for an Eagles game.
