Think the stick getting aimed on Kendall online about the yellow card decision and other non-yellow decisions is a bit harsh considering the incidents were reviewed by the video ref and it was him who advised Kendall of what to do.
I'm guilty of complaining about refs but it's sometimes easy to forget a lot of the decisions they give are advised to them by video refs or linesman. Just because they blow the whistle and show the card it's not always them who has made the call.
I’m no fan of Kendal but thought the yellow was a fair call, could have been simply a penalty but could also have been a red. All thi rubbish about not being in context of the game by Peacock as the rules are the rules. Minchella made no attempt to tackle and elbowed Reynolds in the head whereas the Leigh player wrapped arms around in a tackle. Was surprised a penalty wasn’t given against Lam though but again that was Moore as Kendal handed up to the VR. Nothing much in the Reynolds/Lewis spat either as both were rubbing heads in that tackle, though Lewis seems to have a habit now of thrashing his head about when tackled.
Thought Kendal gave Rovers some decisions too in the 2hd half as he missed a clear knock on at the ptb and then the biggest one was the supposed ball strip in GP when it looked more of a loose carry.
Ultimately resting almost their full team backfired as thd looked off it much like we did against Huddersfield after having that test break. I don’t think Hall looked fit either.
