And I'm pretty happy to still say that.

If its really so obvious you ought to be reporting it with your evidence. You are complicit of you know its happening and you don't report it

As for a ref taking a game for his home town club. It doesn't bother me.
He can either be impartial or not a ref. Shouldn't have to put a rule in to stop them being impartial.

Do you recall that match a few seasons ago when Trinity held a comfortable lead over Saints and at half time Steve Ganson (Then the Head of Referees, and a St Helens man as well), "Had a word" with the match referee? Strangely the pattern of the match changed somewhat in the second half and Saints went on to win. Didn't that seem somewhat unorthodox to you?

Also, it is my opinion, and just as valid as your opinion that ALL referees are Persil white.

I bet you believe all MPs are honest as well.

I don't know why you are getting uppity with me. You were the one who tagged me in this.
I'm not too fussed if you think they cheat. Unless you have something more than your opinion, it's worthless.

The biggest piece of evidence I see, is that there is someone with your opinion at every club. They can't be cheating everyone can they?

People say the game is moving forward ,but I disagree. Quite recently we had the sad passing of Fred Lindop, a fine referee. However he was a born and bred Wakey lad and we never had the benefit of him reffing our games and rightly so. Same should apply to Kendell and Huddersfield.

Think (for this money) Phil Bentham (a Leyther) was the best British ref (so far) this century but did not enjoy him officiating Leigh. Possibly, in a subconscious effort to show his impartiality, he sometimes erred on the side of caution to the detriment of The Centurions (as were).

Refs are decent blokes that are made to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous posters. They are also human and can make mistakes (the refs not said posters).

Answer my question and I'll not mention it again (Not for a while anyway).

Strangely the pattern of the match changed somewhat in the second half and Saints went on to win. - in your opinion. Matches change mid game all the time. Do you also think its cheating when we do a comeback?
Didn't that seem somewhat unorthodox to you? - no

Also, it is my opinion, and just as valid as your opinion that ALL referees are Persil white. - I agree....its your opinion

I bet you believe all MPs are honest as well.

- No. How much did we bet on that? You can give the money to charity.

Good post .fans have chased the ref of the pitch a few times at Wakefield, and let's not get on about the water splash final at Wembley
