I don't see lack of intensity. I see one of those late season games where a weak ref is unsure of himself and senior Knights player sees that weakness and pressures him into making up for other calls since they're a poor cellar dweller club. Gagai knew those calls were wrong. That's why he made the goggle eyes gesture.
Don’t blame the ref or bunker for this crap Wahs are dishing up
We have plenty of ball to score
Didn’t even look like it
Crap😵
