The penalty at the ptb not being able to hear what the ref is saying to the players does not help, although on that one even Karl Harrison was a bit confused.
As for the 40 20 the tjs only actually rule on 2 things that's ball in touch and goal kicks rest are advice, if that's where he says it goes in touch the ref cannot overuse that decision.
As for playing the ball quite defenders should not move until ball has left the back foot.

And what are the other offences you are talking about

By overuse I mean over ride

Re: bradford : Sun May 31, 2015 9:51 pm  

The reason you tend to find Penalties start to even up is because the game swings the way of the other team, we started pulling it back, we were becoming the dominant side for that 10-15 mins, it's generally the dominant team that get the penalties.

Matthew Thomason should be given next week off and lets pray that Chris Leatherbarrow isn't the ref next weekend when we play Leigh. Still a very disappointing result. 14-5 against for penalties.

So Penalties, at least 6 for messing around at ptb one for dissent, at least a couple of head shots and rest probably Offside I can't recall, that's not the refs fault that's the players not reacting! Just silly play

PTB penalties in the first half were cheap, and significantly contributed to the Bulls tries, given they were in the 20 at least twice when awarded repeat sets. Come the second half, Garside makes a break, tackler stands over him clearly holding him down, no action. The wife reckons Connolly had a word at half time and the refs decisions changed, not sure myself.
I had the obstruction down as tackler impeded, so penalty.
Obviously slightly inebriated, so looking for corroboration.....
