Klein did nothing after latrell threw the ball almost into the rooster.

He lacked control all the way through the game
Gagai swore at him and he did nothing.
Some player swears at me when I’m umpiring, he gets sent.
 
The Canberra Laydowners.

Another game without a reset. Disappointing end to the game considering how good we played in the 1st half.
Don't forget Eli Katoa did it first.

We just did it better/worse
