Quote: Bullseye "It's all a bit hysterical is this Cobb bashing. He's not the greatest sure but in my opinion yesterday was down to our own failings rather than his.
.'"


It doesn't help to attribute "he cost us the game" views that nobody, so far as I can remember, has actually claimed. The thread is just bemoaning how appallingly bad Cobb was, and indeed it was very largely one-sided.

Widnes almost certainly would have won anyway, but we'll never know for sure, because the game we should have been able to watch never took place, instead it was the Cobb Mystery Spectacle.

Quote: Bulliac "To be fair, the touchie did spot it and held his ground by the corner flag instead of running to the goal line, as he would if he'd thought it OK. Cobb just overruled him, presumably.'"

If the touch judge had ruled a foot in touch he would surely of raised his flag?

Yes I noticed he did that too. trouble is, i can't find anything in the rules about it. It seems if he rules a player did go into touch then he MUST immediately raise his flag and that's it, the ref cannot overrule him. But he didn't raise his flag. So I presume he had a doubt. Which Cobb ignored. Bad though Cobb was, if the touchie is NOT saying Paddy stepped into touch, and there's no VR option, what else can he do but award a try?

Quote: Bulliac "To be honest, I feel Thaler is probably the best ref in the game at the moment [opinion formed watching games on Sky] and Silverwood is usually pretty decent. All refs, like players and the rest of us, have their good and bad days of course, and commit howlers from time to time. Never liked Mr Child though, far more capricious [think that's the right word..] than most and universally hated at Odsal - not as much as another bloke I could mention though....I do wonder if they base decisions on the fact that the crowd don't like them?'"


Thaler's the best we have had. (in one victory and one defeat) Seems to have a good rapport with the players, and actually knew the Christian names of our players, ("Get back Sam, leave it Sam, walk away Sam" icon_wink.gif icon_wink.gif ) rather than call them all "you" a la Silverwood, who has been admittedly better (in two defeats) than Child. (one victory, one defeat and one draw)

Of course, Cobb has been much better than any of the above!! (in two victories) icon_wink.gif icon_wink.gif

The convent is (according to Refs course ) is; on deadline if try is good, stand on corner flag if unsure, stand two yards down the sideline if an offence has been spotted.

Wow just seen Ah Vans second try. Not even a close decision! Touch judge stood his ground, but should he have put his flag up? Even then as he has stood his ground Cobb should have consulted him.
