Quote: The Devil's Advocate "Yet last night Widnes were (allegedly) shafted by an (allegedly) Wakefield supporting ref.
It’s becoming a strange season, Cas were robbed at Huddersfield last week, Wakefield were fleeced against St’s a while ago.
I’m struggling to comprehend the RFL’s end game, what with point’s deductions & referee conspiracy theories, but there has to be one, doesn’t there?
Or maybe the referee’s do their best & like everybody else make mistakes'"
I think it's much more simple than any conspiracy theory, and like you say referees do their best and make mistakes but the majority of the referees are of an incredibly poor standard and are not fit for purpose. While following my side this year iv seen some decisions that are laughable for a full time pro to make... Decisions such as a kick off that bounced dead and the defending side given a tap 20... Basic errors an amateur referee wouldn't make and it's not good enough. If we can criticise bad performances from chairmen, coaching staff and players why can't we criticise the poorest part of the domestic game ???
