BIASED REFEREE????

What a bunch of whingers. You don't like losing that's your trouble. The ref gave Batley nothing in the second half. His bad decisions started the roll that nearly gave you the game. Bad ref, yes....Biased no. Get over yourself and accept you were beaten by a team who wanted it more.
The bloke at the end who was nearly blowing a fuse shouting at the ref when he came off the field summed it up for me.

Was bad that ref though

He clearly needs a performance review. I'm sure both Halifax and Batley will agree on that.

TS my problem is not the match officials its the pillock Stuart Cummins. I ref every now and then and its tough but I enjoy it. I know for a fact due to my various contacts,Cummins fast tracks youngsters who have little experience into doing Pro games. Many match officials are unhappy. There is a real problem with match officials not just Leahy. But Cummins has had years to sort the various problems-but nothing changes. The problems will never change with match officials as long as Cummins is in charge. He was arrogant as a ref and is arrogant now.

I don't have a problem with you on the SC front, Si; that's your beef. My problem is the standard and consistency that is apparent when his underlings take the field.

But SC is responsible for the match officials and each year we see the same inconsistency and different standards. Each game you see different rule interpretations. The sooner SC does something positive with the Match Officials the sooner the our game and enjoyment will improve.
