to be fair the previous times he has reffed us this season he has been good. today he was appalling though and i can't defend him whatsover

Refs, like players, have good games and bad games. Today the whistling Frenchman had shocker in all directions – in fact there were some calls given today that were simply bizarre.

That knock on by us which was let go on the halfway line was fantastic

What about the high tackle on Sinfield on Hudds 10m line? He let that go and they then went and made a break.. luckily Donald showed amazing speed to catch up.

All to often the ref was looking to his TJ to help him out, as if he didn't actually know what to do

The one that got me was the decision to penalise Senior in the first half, when he was being pushed over the try line. I'm assuming it was for playing on after he'd called held, unless anyone knows different?

Also, he kept a very, very skinny 10m. In truth I never noticed if he was doing that when Hudds were attacking, but I'm assuming it was the same for both sides.

He indicated senior had lead with his forearm.

Nah. He gave it for playing the ball after been tackled. Got it wrong like, should have been penalty to Leeds for tackling after the tackle completed, but that was his decision.

That's what I thought as well.

If it was for leading with the forearm, he sure waited a long time before giving the decision, it's not as though he'd play advantage in those circumstances.

Spot on. Im always a bit wary of Terry on the VR duties, but have been a staunch defender of him when he has the whistle, all you can say he was poor for both teams, very,very poor.

He "INDICATED" that senior had lead with the forearm and i agree we should of got the penalty because he'd called held and the giants tacklers were still trying to put him into touch.

He din't play the ball though did he, he threw it back. IMO Senior did the right thing, because if he did shout held then he couldn't play the ball because he was getting puched into touch. Poor decisioon IMO

I thought he had a good game and you should all stop moaning or ref yourself.

At the end of the day, without him, there was no game yesterday! get over yourselves and give the guy a break, he's doing a job that no one wants to do, but everyone likes to criticise.

The thing with Thierry is that he does not give clear signals, so the supporters get on his back. At the end of the day, so long as the players know what he's given a decision for, what does it matter?

Actually that's a very good observation. Some of his signals are unclear and you're left in the stand wondering what he's given and why. It also makes him look a bit like he's making it up as he goes along.

Seen him ref a few times this season and I don't think he's any worse than the others. I think yesterday was the poorest performance I've seen from him, but I doubt he favoured one side over the other. He did seem to struggle with the concept of a high tackle yesterday, nor did he seem fussed about two feet behind the line (but which ref does?).

For mine, he got 99% of the high tackle calls right, they weren't high tackles, they hit the shoulder first, if there was something he missed, it was the grabbing around the head and neck during the "wrestle" and on the floor!
