Re: Siddal v Cougars : Mon Apr 08, 2013 8:02 am
Having seen the video (I accept was only the highlights) it seems to show things being let go by the official. It looked like the one and only Mr Bloem. Can anyone confirm?If so, isn't he an official from Halifax? Taking charge of a game involving Siddal? You can clearly see the point of the elbow being pushed into the face of our player in the second half, in full view of the official, but no penalty.
Whilst I accept Siddal were the amateurs and underdogs, surely rules regarding interchanges and foul play have to be adhered to, otherwise what is the point. The venue clearly wasn't up to the required standard for that level of competition and the RFL needs to have a look a few things IMO.
