Wouldn't it be great if supporters after the game could lay the fault of the defeat at the players, coach etc and not the officials.

Time and time again we see people on here blaming the referee or even worse accusing them deliberately of favouring the opposition and so enough is enough.

I propose we have a respect the referee weekend, where we accept every decision they make.

you got me! I'm on the hook!

You have to be kidding mate! Out of all the boards this one is where the refs get the blame the least!

I remember last year after the mighty BULLS beat you 10 points to six at Odsal, there was a Alibert thread on here seven pages long saying that he gave everything to the Bulls.

I'm sat here wondering what odds you could have got at Billy Hills yesterday for somebody posting such and presenting it as a serious topic for debate .

he wasn't the ref smith was! baggin the vid ref is totally different as they get it wrong so often it's a bit of a joke really! Half the time they should just toss a coin at least that would be acceptable! Albert pulled out of the hat a rule that was not inforced before and has not been inforced since for the burrow try! He also gave a knock on when the ball didn't touch the ground or hit a player? So what he really gave was a forward pass off of jjb for the mcguire try which a vid ref can't judge on. He also missed a blatant obstruction by Newton when reviewing the beaver try(maybe sheriffe)
so not his best outing in the box! but that's not why we lost! We were shocking! But so were you. I new that night you wouldn't make the 8.

The Burrow 'no try' was the correct call by the video referee and the reason we don't see more tries ruled out for a player being ahead of the ball carrier at the play the ball is because it happens extremely rarely.

When we had the discussion last year there were very few examples uncovered and I've not seen any since either.

It was the right call to the letter of the law but how many times do we see trys chalked off by the vid ref on review when the play starts with a player not playing the ball or walking off the mark? never. Or would we see a try from a scrum chalked off for feeding? these are rules! That are ignored. I don't want to open this can of worms again but common sense in that situation would have been that Webb was onside when play went past him and he joined back in.

I thought it had been established that this guy is real now. I must have missed something. This is definately surely an alias from someobody of this board.

This guy is the worst moaner on the whole of RL fans boards about referees.

I was talking to Andy Lynch yesterday, and he was having a good laugh about this poster Mick Gledhill, and he believed he was an actual supporter. He said all the Bulls players who view these boards come out with Mick Gledhill jokes every week, as they think he is exactly that, a joke.

Nope, he's real. Myself and Harrigan have had a beer with him

Tell Steve Mc.

Good to know, well I hope the Bulls players after Sundays game know that they were jokes.

I remember that, Headingley before the Bulls game.

Some rules are ignored (referees current interpretations) but others aren't. It was a rarity that needed a ruling there and then. In that sense it could have gone either way. Has there been another instance where a try has been allowed to stand in a similar circumstance since the Webb/Burrow one was correctly IMO disallowed?

Some posters claimed at the time that this type of incident happens and is ignored every week yet they were unable to point to many if any instances of it occurring.

It's much less common now than when a former Wigan and Leeds loose forward made a career out of poaching tries from that position.
