But Im not going off memory im going off video evidence which is better? im not saying Hobson didnt deserve it as the intent was there, but the Fev player reaction was a bit OTT not that any other player wouldn't do the same just stating a fact, and thats something you cant argue against.

The fact that RL isn't cheap anymore means there has to be a competant man in the middle. I only had to read one post about this ref and I knew what you meant, he was a shambles last Friday and obviously a shambles on Wednesday.

People pay £15-£20 to go watch a rugby game they shouldn't have a referee thinking everyones come to see him.

In all honesty they go into a profession/hobby knowing they `re going to get slated by one set of fans.......Pseudo SM fans......

Rather than criticise the ref (even if he was cr@p) I though the object of the exercise is not to give the ref an opportunity to make cr@p decisions. Hobson clearly did and he will remain a liability as long as he plays.

I think some are losing the point no one has/had any qualms about the sending off of Hobson its the refs overall performance thats at question.
