I reckon the two coaches must have had words before the Sky interviews as Radford walked right past him when he finished, no look or handshake. Poor game, I thought the RFL were experimenting with new rules allowing forward passes.

It just seems to me that when a video ref is being used the actual officiating of the game goes to pot.
Game plans tend work around areas the video ref has no control over.

Saying that,no video ref last night and that would have been a different score line.

He is spot on. I hope he includes his team as well though?

He did in his post match press conference on the Leeds site, which only highlights the problem more that a coach can be this fed up with this element of the game but readily accepts his team do it too. All teams do it, some coaches are ok with that, others would probably rather not but it's a necessary evil in today's game, if you don't do these things can you compete?

The standard of Football is in the toilet and every Super League coach (Powell being the exception) should be held responsible.

The average attacking plan for a Super League team these days appears to be:
1. Buy a penalty.
2. Kick to touch, start your set in the opposition 40.
3. Run 3 plays of a forward hitting up from first receiver.
4. Run the block-shape play with the halves and full back going behind a lead runner.
5. Hope that a centre shoots in or a back rower gets sucked in.
6. If so Try, if not, grubber into touch 5 yards in front of you.

There are too many penalties and I think the refs could try to let the game go a bit more but in truth, the players are giving them decisions to make on most sets of six.

He's irate at a referee for not clamping down on tactics he freely admits he coaches his players to perform.

Hmmm.

As a suggestion why do referees keep yelling "Mooooooooooooove" at players lying in the ruck at each tackle? More often than not the tacklers don't begin to peel off one by one until they get the call. Would it not be better if refs didn't use this call and just blew up when they thought players were being held down, as it used to be? Players wouldn't have the security of knowing they could stay put until the call.

It'd also stop what is a bloody irritating call when you hear it over and over again on the ref's mike in televised games.

Slight amendment made to point 6 but I agree the style of play from most sides is boring as poop.

He has a point. The ruck is horrendous at the minute. Its not controlled properly at all. In The NRL you either get to your feet and play the ball once stood up correctly, or get penalised. None of this throwing yourself to the ground and taking a dive thing we seem to keep seeing. Half the time the referee even tell them they were diving forward, or tells them to just get up. Penalise them for it, they will soon stop.

Also on the subject of playing for penalties, Sneyd got a penalty last night when Ellis was in the sin bin, by grabbing a leeds players wrist, putting the leeds players hand under him near the ball, letting go of the ball, then staring helplessly at the referee. The only reason the leeds player had his hand in the ruck was because Sneyd put it there. I'm really not a Leeds fan but that was ridiculous.

Think the interpretation of the rules has become too lax but that's because the players are pushing them so far refs could penalise every PTB. They don;t want to do that or they'll be accused of being whistle happy. It's got out of control. But players and coaches are also to blame.

Time for a change.

But on the flip side Barrie Mac is protesting to Eddie that there are to many penalties and he just wants to watch rugby. What can Childs(Ganson) do??

Did I see a play the ball last night where the player stepped forward and placed the ball on the tacklers head and then tried to heel it back? It may have been JJB.

Which penalties Child called were wrong? The yellow card looked harsh but up until that point he'd let Hull get away with a few high shots and laying on that he'd pinged leeds for the same thing.Both sides boiled over a bit but for me Hull were very near the knuckle all game and I think they thought they could out bully a smallish looking Leeds side. Connor was on a particularly short fuse and to me it looked like he'd let the leeds fans get under his skin even before he was nutted by Eddie Munster. Fonua and Talanoa are the worst for milking penalties football style but it works .So in essence Mc's rant was correct and whichever team plays that particular refs interpretation of rugby league will generally win
