You should have a sense of humour, and just join in the banter. Don't let it touch a nerve.

You can always win at London on Sunday and get back in the race for top 4.

Anyway, back on topic. how was Mr Stokes last Sunday?

This sums it up perfectly mr Cokey.

Thank you mr t hall. It would be real fun and games if he was to officiate Fax v Leigh a week on Sunday.

Please no - Please no.

Early on I thought he didn't have much to do as both sides were just completing setts and getting to a kick.
A couple of penalties followed mainly for offside and not standing square.
The main contentious issues concerning his decisions involved and hurt Fax more than Batley.
The disallowed try obviously got a negative response from the Fax section of the crowd mainly because none new why, I watched him as he chalked it off and he made a pushing motion with his arms a couple of times as if to indicate some form of obstruction in the build up.
Passes that put Ecclestone away for likely scores were ruled forward in both the first and second halves and that's about it really.
With 5 points in it you can see why anyone could rightly say it was a game we could have won.
We didn't and that's it.
One thing for sure RM knows we didn't offer enough on the day to beat Batley.
The last thing or person he will be looking at to put it right is Ged Stokes.

I agree.Don't want the opinion of a failed Whitehaven coach..

Well you was probably made aware that he dished out over 30 penalties with our game with London and he gave us two team warnings followed by two sin bins for technical offences that were so petty you could have given over a 100 of them during any game. To be quite honest, I think it's unfair for all fans to spend their hard earned to watch a game of rugby with that buffoon in charge.

Now the video is up what are peoples views on the obstruction? Personally I think its a bad read by the defender and Mitch is running in a gap without changing his line.

I agree.Also think the defender could have still involved himself in the tackle instead of standing moaning.At least now i can see why it was disallowed,even though i disagree with decision.Thought he'd just made it up on sunday.

Well well well, Mr Stokes hasn't been given a match to officiate this week. I wonder why?

Having now seen the game on FaxTV I see why I dislike the ginger git Stokes, that Gareth Moore disallowed try was a very marginal obstruction by Mitch which he must have been his reason for not giving it, late in the game he missed a blatant forward pass from Batley which would have given us good field position and just after a swinging arm in a three man tackle on Gareth Moore was also missed yet he saw the two forward passes by us!
I also notice the lack of atmosphere from both sets of fans as the game was not a great spectacle is probably why, but we must learn from this and next time we play Batley respect the ball and wait for your chances like they do, not great on the eye but it wins games, it won't work all season for them but it is up to now!
