...and yet again Mr Thexton brings sense and reality to the situation.

The majority on here need to actually go out and referee a game - at any level. Only then will they appreciate how difficult it is. I've done it and it's not easy, without the pressure of 80,000 in the arena and millions watching on TV.

I'd say they get at least 95% of the decisions correct and the rest tend to be 50/50 calls.

Same here, and I am one. It's no good moaning about a lack of intensity within the game whilst at the same time fussing over every minor indiscretion. It was about as serious as Bailey's flop on the grounded player - worthy of a penalty and nothing more.

And like I said, what appears on the screen "xxxxx- Attack" or "xxxxx - defense" is decided by the TV company and has got sod all to do with the glossary of terms within the supporting sections to the rules of the game. They decide what goes on screen for the purpose of the viewers/spectators not based the technicalities of the rules. The term on the glossary is "attacking team" and "defending team" NOT "attack"/"defense" would be the only argument the TV company would have for the error......................we dont care what the definitions say will be the fact.

Actually to put the matter to bed.... On BBC Manchester RL phone in, on the refs call section it was admitted that it was a mistake in the video booth...... Simples.... Different system to what they are used to on the sky games and it should have said scrum attack...

Is this still going?!

If they change it "Scrum [insert team]" then there won't ever be this confusion again. Agreed?

Let's move on. The OP was wrong, and has lost credibility, not rugby league.

To lose something, you have to be in possession of it, initially.
