Perhaps this is how the RFL propose to help swinton? Favourable refereeing for help in survival

Got told last weeks referee was a touch rugby ref and last week was his first game officiating contact rugby. Shows what a joke the refereeing department is at the moment

Its about time clubs started to hammer the RFL about the referees performance its just not good enough. They should publish the video to the press and and question about how the RFL have no interest in player safety

One of the worst refereeing performances I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. But how tame are we? Plenty of effort, and less errors, but we offer no penetration and no attack, no ideas at all how to make any break or any attacking moves, and the fact that we were very comfortably contained all game by a shiit team of grubs like Swinton tells you where we are, which is comfortably bottom of the pile by some distance. It takes some doing to make Swinton look reasonably good but we managed it.

If the ref performances are this bad in the championship wtf will we have to put up with next season?

Time someone accidentally on purpose flooded the ref's changing room and made them walk up and down through the crowd from pavilion.

Todays ref is a touch judge. Hes been linesman at odsal a few times. Not sure how many games he's refereed. Ive geuinely had it with the sport after today.

The refereeing department is in a mess. A.touch judge refereeing huge game like that. The campbell red was laughable if it wasn't such an injustice. It just felt he couldn't wait to send him off. Ive seen players knocked unconscious with shoulder charges to the head, players launched into railings, thuggery, grubby tatcics, absolutely zero action taken and then we get a red card for a pretty nominal penalty. Just so angry. I just feel there is an arrogance with some referees where we plead (as fans do) for blatent penalties (ie Bentley being held down after making a break) and he does the "i'll show you lot" attitude and gives a knock-on. i didn't think the game was refereed fairly or consistently.

And before anyone says, its not because we lost. I actually want us to get relegated and rebuild.

But fed up after today. Swintons antics were embarrssing. Throwing balls in players faces (again weak refereeing by Not giving penalties) swintons players taking dives like footballers,kicking balls away when we go to pick it up. Not rugby league for me.

Bottom of CH plays next to bottom. How far up the ref ladder did you expect them to look?

Main concern is how we look no better as a team now than we did 4 months ago. Surely after 4 months of full time training we should see signs of improvement in defensive and attacking structure?

Some really bizarre refereeing decisions today. Let's not use that as an excuse though. We made far too many schoolboy errors in key positions. Again, we never really looked like threatening the Swinton line.

We looked dead at the end of the game with some players falling to their knees. That image sums up our season. We've been on our knees since game one. Almost over.

Let's not make excuses, the referee was real dog s@@te, but we looked like and have for a good number of weeks now, like a side that aren't that bothered. I have said before we are not a good side, we don't have a good brand (a tarnished one now admitted) but what we have is the supporters. They are what the RFL cannot afford to lose, whether it is in the championship or SL. If there has been some aggreement between the new owners and and the RFL, the we as supporters have been sold the biggest dummy since Gareth Edwards in his prime.

So just me who thought it was a deserved red card then? Guys it was a shocker from Campbell, I said straight away that he'd walk for it and I was right.
All this moaning about the ref is just ridiculous. Spectators at the ground just get frustrated because their team is dogsh*t and were getting outplayed from minute one. So they then take their frustrations out on the ref. Every teams' fans do it.
But you could tell from the first 15 minutes of that game that we were never going to win, they were all over us right from the kick off.

Omari Caro topples backwards over a Swinton player on the ground, and some idiots near me scream bloody murder wanting a red card! It's embarrassing.

Refereeing decisions will go against you in matches, it happens. But to see stewards being forced into escorting him from the pitch is a sad sight to see and not something I want the Bulls being associated with.

I'd like some specific examples of why some of you thought the ref was so atrocious because I really didn't see that much to complain about in all honesty.

As far as our 'team' is concerned, this is easily the worst Bulls side I've ever seen. It's just a collection of individual players now at this point. There is no team. No cohesion, no communication, no set plays, no structure. We are beyond terrible.

Just let this season hurry up and be over, and we can move on to whatever the hell lies in wait for us in 2018.
