so you scousers reckon the ref cost you the match, saints fans are unbelievable, week in week out you get the majority of the decisions, thats how its works with the big clubs, same in footy with utd n chelsea etc, to say the ref cost you last night is utter rabbit droppings, yeah it was a knock on but bulls had 2 dissalowed one of which was a try, saints, eeerggh makes me heave

Sounds as though your lack of success is distorting your impartiality.

Would you want any of them sitting on your jury?

Menzies knocked on as soon as the ball hit Meli's shoulder, it was a 100% correct decision and one of the easier calls on the night.

I'd settle for Clarke and Carney; but if you saw Pinky and Perky there, the verdict would be down to blind chance and you'd poo your pants.

But its academic cos it wasn't given, and I've not heard one serious Bulls fan (myself included) arguing that any gross injustice was done. Maybe if it had made a difference to the end result things would have been different, and we'd have seen shades of the collective apoplexy that swept your own board a week or so ago.

Phil Clarke said on the Red Button part of the re-run that the decision was correct.

As long as you're wearing a red and white top at your trial you should be fine.

Back to these full time referees. One, two, three, four, four, fifth and last.

We could do with some full-time touchies too if the Salford match becomes the norm.

To be honest, having taken note of what those with superior knowledge of the rules explained, I rather think he has it right too. That's another week when a lot of people will have learnt a rule they were not previously aware of! And another week where you have to take your hat off to the video ref.

Clear enough to me and the video ref with all the technology at his fingertips.

If it was clear to the VR howcome he took so long with the decision?

Agree.

The fact is we should have been 22-0 up and had two calls go against us.

Mick...cool it man!!!

This isn't Substandard and their legions of Fekkwits driving the responsible Loiners insane, and they are not going collectively apoplectic over the decisions like they do on there. From what I've seen, most of what has been posted is reasonable and gracious. Indeed, I struggled to remember whose board I was on!

And there is no way this time we were robbed by Silverwood - maybe in the past, but no way this time. And it looks to me that Smith was as right with his decisions as M. Alibert was at Odsal with his.
