Disgraceful refereeing. We get penalised (rightly) for Worrincy playing on after being tackled. Batley do the same and play is allowed to go on and a try is scored. Massive penalty count against Fax.

Laughton - you're a [imale chicken[/i.


Granted - Fax have gone off the boil but they're playing against the ref here.

How many penalties were for offside? Fair enough if we were offside, but I'd like to see some parity. Batley were as bad, but Rockin' Ronnie's one-man show and tunnel vision reigned tonight. Where their man was tackled and got up and carried on leading to a try was in comparison to Worrincy's infrinement.

Time for him to be either told to retire, or to be sacked for incompetence. If I were to make as many errors as he did tonight during the course of my employment, then I'd be dismissed.

And that try that went to the video ref for Campbell; he lost the ball into Jon Goddard before regathering it to score. As it hit Goddard after Campbell lost possession it is a knock-on. Cummings is as bad.

If you take your blue & white tinted glasses off and analyse his errors as a % they weren't high.

We pushed our look at times at the ruck, made far too many stupid needless mistakes, the Ref wasn't really an issue in this game.

What was Worrincy doing?
- tackled yet tried to carry on
- made no effort to retreat from winger taking high ball
- ripping ball from attacker right in front of ref

Penky
- lashing out for no reason
- getting bundled into touch

You can go on and on, all these weren't Laughtons fault.

The penalty count was massive in our favour for 1st half and massive against us in 2nd due to lack of posession.

Disappointing match all things considered -discipline and ref poor - we need to up our game for next week big time

Laughton had a shocker. For both sides. His worst being the batley try following on from what should have been a play the ball. Bad enough but worse after he just penalised us for the same thing. Did you hear him ask what the tackle count was before he penalised Rob? Anyway he was bad for both sides.

I'm more concerned about fax's discipline, and have been since last season. I am staggered by the arrogance and petulance from which this indiscipline stems. When batley got their tails up our response was embarassingly arrogant - how dare batley try to beat us? Certainly not the response we want. We had a plethora of talent on display but were shown how to approach the game by batley. Well done to them!

We still have the same problems as last year with discipline and not being able to control a game, but now with the bad taste of arrogance

but in the end it was fax's frustration at laughtons inability to referee fair and consistant, he started well and went down hill fast (and im a referee),
