Absolutely, Smith and the whole squad have done amazingly well, I just think we will be spent and nursing some players who've had to do it tough.

Ill be pleased with the way the club is heading whatever the result on Saturday, lots to be positive about for next year

He said “its front on contact, as we discussed earlier in the year, its just a penalty”.

Yep, thats right, the blatant shoulder charge by Whare, which was reviewed by Thaler, was deemed “front on” contact. Im at a loss. It was fractionally late, at the pass, could be argued, but it was a shoulder charge none the less.

I really don't understand the interpretation.
Sezer gets a yellow and then backed up with a ban.
Whare gets nothing - and it looked much worse.
Be interesting to see what the MRP think.
But I fully expect there to be no further action.
Maybe Leeming should have gone off injured, like Fages.

turned season around but always likely to finish out of top 2 without 4 big fast men , 2 props , centre 2nd row,

That was undoubtedly the worst refereeing performance of the season , and we have seen some s--t ones this season .
The Catalan forwards made no attempt to play the ball with their feet all game - this gives the attacking team a massive advantage. The lack of cards shown to Kasiano on two blatent illegal hits just shows how dire the standard of refereeing has sunk to . Our players are carded and suspended for the same hits , but Catalan keep 13 on the field . A yellow card when we were on a roll would have put the sh__ts up them , and it would have been anybodys game .
The RFL need to sort out the refereeing standards , before they ruin , what is the best game in the world.

I wonder what some people are watching sometimes. I thought Hicks was fine.
Rohan Smith, for the first time I can recall, singled the referee out in his presser for praise (it was "a well refereed game I thought, where he let the game be played").

Smith also said the biggest problem was not holding them in the forwards early. So he's clearly aware that we are going to struggle against bigger sides if we don't sort out the front row.

People say the FA are corrupt but the RFL are too, if not worse, a delberate ploy to make Saturday's game A must win one in this screw job of a game. RFL are a set of cu@÷s just like the ref's this year. Absolutely bent.

He was barring those 2 incidents which were so Inconsistent to the rest of the year and even last Wednesday night in how they were refereed, which is infuriating.

And what is the role of the Linesman in the game these days they seem to be anonymous
