I know. I was just trying to make a point, without resorting to the obvious, that this was yet another in a very long line of extremely poor refereeing performances stretching back over many years. We do suffer from not being on TV very often and that is something that Super League should be sorting out either by televising every game or making sure that all clubs are equally represented on TV. Ultimately though, it's about time the refereeing fraternity took responsibility for their performances and showed a glimmer of improvement.
It’s frustrating for the fans but you can visibly see the frustration on the players. Numerous times trinity players were trying to play the ball only to be denied the right yet no repercussions. I don’t know whether it’s referees perception of top half/bottom half teams but teams seem to be reffed inconsistently.
I refer back to when Whitbread landed on his front with a good charge. Tried to get up earning the quick play. Player on him. Tried again. Plsyer pushed him back down. By time he played it it was so slow and he was frustrated visibly.
Then in contrast late in 2nd half when Catalan player did same. Had a player on him who got off a lot faster yet referee waving six again for Catalans. The inconsistency is just poor for the game.
I wish it was scrapped.
