If you look at Mes during the first holding call, she is really sitting in against her opponent. Her legs are bent almost 90 degrees at the hip and knee, a position you cannot maintain unless you are leaning firmly against someone or something.
I’ve noticed this about her before. It’s not that she does anything others don’t do, but her body positioning makes it more obvious that she’s doing it. Then once you’ve caught the umpire’s eye you need to make changes.
I do agree that the umpiring was sub par, but it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny to insist that your team couldn’t ever deserve 60 penalties because they haven’t received them before. Any team can have an undisciplined game.
