Quote: Bonzo "I never noticed, I was watching the game as a whole rather than looking to pick on individuals involved in it. But you don't see too many signals from touch judges at Super League level these days because they use the communications kit.
Are these incidents you refer to those seen through black and amber tinted spectacles by any chance? Perhaps there was simply nothing to call - you'd be surprised how many spectators see things in a game that simply are not there.'"
No black and amber specs Bonzo, for instance, there was the incident in the second half right in front of where I was sat, which led to Sherwin's injury, this was smack in front of the TJ, he dithered and didn't seem to know what to do, whether to go on the field or not, he made a feeble half hearted attempt to wave his flag, but then stood there like a lemon and didn't put himself forward to the ref. From my viewpoint, it was a deliberate attempt to injure Sherwin.
There were many more incidents, but from my information, the actions taken by the TJ depends upon the referee, some refs like interaction with their TJ's whilst other don't, maybe Hewer is one of those who don't?
