[OakhamTiger32]

Usual call from Dickson of use it no more than 5s after the maul is formed.. then despite Newcastle rumbling towards the Quins line he tells the 9 to use it repeatedly.. surely they were going forward.. give the maul a chance Karl

[OakhamTiger32]

Must be nice for Karl going back to his old stomping ground.. seems like a fair choice of official for this one

2 yellows for quins, so he's clearly not biased.

2 yellows for quins, so he's clearly not biased.

But no penalty try

I honestly don't think he is biased just seems strange an ex-Quins player can officiate a Quins game

[Rugbygramps]

I honestly don’t think he is having a bad game got all the major decisions right so far

[OakhamTiger32]

He is officiating these calls very well i think

Agreed. Newcastle with a very poor call not to ship that wide! butchered

Too many variables pass had to be made and there was a defender there. Not convinced it wasn’t a Mcguigan double movement either

[fentiger]

He's not clever enough to be biased

I think it most certainly was a double movement but there is no way that try wouldn't have been scored. If Care doesn't rip that illegally Brown was coming in at pace and would have 100% been over.. easy pop offload, no question for me. But.. it was a double movement so ultimately a fair outcome perhaps

[Rugbygramps]

I know Falcons have young half backs and missing a lot of their leaders, but they do seem naive in their game management.
Opposition have 13 players should be trying to get Radwan in space as much as possible

[Rugbygramps]

Mcguigan having a decent game. Always liked him shame we never got to see him under Borthwicks stewardship

[Faulks04]

Too many average players at Newcastle and by average I mean by Premiership level, same as Worcester. Mcguigan is head and shoulders there Best forward and surprisingly only 28 . Radwan isn’t Getting the ball in space . So many times Newcastle passed the ball coast to coast without interesting a harlequins defender . They give there all though you can see that

[Tiglon]

McGuigan very very good, as someone else said Falcons just seemed naive. Quins just far more accurate at the business end of the pitch.

Dickson had a good game. I posted the law on mauls last week - as soon as the maul is formed it has to move forward immediately. If not, that's "use it" once. Assuming it starts moving within 5 seconds it can continue, but if it stops going forwards after that then the ball must be played out of the maul - it makes no difference if the maul starts going forwards again after that point, it's too late. He is applying the rules correctly.

Could have given a penalty try, but I think it was a 50/50 call.

[Rugbygramps]

Gloucester beat Saints Irish beating Worcester comfortably Bath just up v Bristol
