He was terrible, but those fans of ours who went up at the end threatening him and hitting the barriers should be ashamed!

We were awful anyway.

Cant see the point in blaming the ref although he was poor, but he was poor for both sides. The game was lost in the first half due to our inability to tackle yet again against a side that cost a fraction of ours to assemble. Simple game plan at Mount Pleasant, up the jumper and kick on the last and tackle like demons when playing up hill. Thats all Batley do.

He was/is but we did enough to win the game if we'd have kept our heads, but he definately didn't help with crap decisions.

Ref was poor but if Miles had have passed when through with Smith alongside him and Penky hadnt have gone for the kick on the short side,if White hadnt knocked on with line at his mercy and if we had tackled better in the first half,we wouldnt even be discussing the ref.And by the way the Batley supporters sat next to us were playing hell with the ref too!!

He was bad, he let things get out of control, but he was not at all helped by the touch judges so i wont go over board.
Also, at the end, i was stood right in front of the players tunnel, it was nothing, one lad was stood on the railings (big deal) and another fella banged a piece of metal panelling, that sounded worse than it was, i dont think he was threatened, i think he was told by some that he had a crap game in colourful language.

In the second half i thought we were excellent, lots of players stood up and we were unlucky not to get all 3 points.

Some bizarre decisions or more failure to give penalties. Think they got some soft ones to get them up the hill in the first half, but no surprise, ref fails to give similar decisions when we started to get some momentum in second half. Obvious ones like markers not being square when Penky was running from dummy half, but worst one was when a batley player came from behind Penky at the play the ball and pushed him over so Penky couldn't pick the ball up. 10 yards out just to side of sticks and would have brought us level.

But thought the players gave it a good shot today, especially 2nd half and after having to reshuffle for Miles. We defended really well when they got repeat sets coming down the hill (with more dodgy ref calls). I think we just needed better composure in 1st half. We often lost our shape and didn't play out our sets.
