Never gives us the rub of the green on 50/50 decisions. Not entirely sure why he just let the clock run down at the end either.

Oh and shoulders must start at the ears for Cas players, utterly speechless as to why the continual grapple tackles went unpunished in the first half. At least he penalised them once for it in the second half...

Rant over, Catalans deserved the win, we were poor by and large.

I did get to the game today, if i was there i'd have be booing myself in the heat the the moment and shouting cheat, like ya do, but watching it on TV shows Smith didnt do that much wrong apart from let countless head shots go, but he no game changing decition went agaisnt us, When Chase was down he was clearliy shouting "play on", yeah it was harsh, but was dealt with by the letter of the law. Only ourselfs to blame again, another lose again at home and again by 2 points, Can we make the play offs? your guess is as good as mine

Agree entirely, smith should've punished cats fro the persistant high tackles, but must've left his cards at home tonight, overall we got what we deserved

Re the Chase incident.

Catalans knocked on and chase re-gathered ... no advantage was gained by Cas ... so by right the correct decision was a scrum ... ...... Chase clearly thought he was tackled so played the ball.... the correct way to deal with the confusion was to call no advantage and form a scrum

unfortunatley for us it was one of those days where the right decision got lost in the heat of the moment and Smith got it wrong and awarded a penalty... cats subsequantly went up the field to score what turned out to be the winning try (dosen't that always happen ???).

Overall I think what incensed the crowd was the way all decisions relating to Cas try's were refered to the video ref and some of the cats try's were not, even though there was clearly something to have a look at.

All in all I thought it was a poor game played by two teams who should be at the lower end of the table....... and are ..... says it all for me.

I was stood in the corner where they scored there first try and the touch judge cleart told the ref that he thought it was a couple movement. Smith just gave the try anyway.

They were not onside all night dont even think smith was bothering to go back 10 metres and the cats players were still in front of him.

High tackles all night and the only time they were punished was when the touch judges came on to tell him.

A knock on from the scrum late on in the 2nd half that smith said it came off his foot. How many times have you seen a scrum half take the ball out of the scrum with his foot.

Every 50/50 and most 60/40 decision went there way tonight. We didnt play well tonight but if we had been given a fair crack of the wip we were good enough to beat them.

Its been the same all season but tonight it was blatent.

IIRC it wasn't even a knock on. Just a poor pass. In any case, Chase had the opportunity to play the advantage, but he didn't, he played the ball.

said after the warrington game that thaler let all sorts go in their favour, and the game tonight was very similar. it appears to me that we are doing well away from home, so when we are at home we are getting penalised for it and getting humiliated. they are making it harder for us to finish in the top eight and tonight was the prime example. the last time i saw such anger towards a referee was i think, one of the connolly brothers. like a lot more i do not like to see objects thrown on to the field but the referee did not help matters, and its about time the players stopped getting the flak, it is they that are towing their bag out and getting kicked in the teeth, so imagine how they feel, its bad enough for us stood watching and getting annoyed. it hurts me to think and say it but the game is bent at times. i have never walked away from a game, but with 15 minutes left tonight i very nearly did, because i could sense that it was not us what was going to win again, like i said the players are trying like hell under the circumstances but are copping for it unfairly from crap officiating.
