| Truly, disgustingly bad. really did cost widnes the game today, and the linesman are just as bad. simply unreal today. Robys effort on friday night pales in comparison.
The only problem is a lack of decent replacements for some of these tools. we are stuck with them.
Dont get me wrong, i know refs can never please everyone, but jesus christ, Robert hicks has made me feel sick today.

I knooooow!
Saints player held up short for about A WEEK, then places ball down when tacklers release him - TRY AWARDED.
Saints kick ball at Chris Dean from about 3 feet away, he doesnt move a muscle, ball hits him. Widnes player right next to him picks the ball up, deemed to be offside, penalty to saints on our line - ten seconds later SAINTS score.
non of the officials had a clue what happened at that kick off at the end, hicks tossed a coin on that decision. Head and feed to saints in our half, saints score in the last minute.
A ten that varied from 5 Metres to 15 from one tackle to the next.
And so on...........

Equally so, if saints had not been gifted 12 points, nor one of our kicks (apparently) wrongly chalked off then it really wouldnt matter.

Did it clear the tops of the posts?
If so its prob due to the fact Super League and Championship uprights generally are too small leading to this kind of mistake by touch judges.I've seen quite a few of these incidents over the last few years.Look at the NRL uprights-they reach the clouds totally eliminating doubt.

I think the kick in question was actually below the top of the posts, it seemed to be from my position. which is why its so upsetting.

Fair enough.Another example for video refs at all games then-even though the game can't afford it.

| You'll get little sympathy - just like when Uncle Alibert let Wire have an extra tackle in a set to beat us, you'll be told that it's a fast game, people make mistakes, it happens, get over it etc etc.
In reality, there's a dearth of refereeing talent in this country and it's reaching a crisis; they need to do some succession planning, and quick.

| Why do you think there is a lack of refereeing talent? Probably because not a lot of people want to put up with all the hassle you get from crowds /coaches from grassroots level right up to senior level in Super League
At the end of the day, you either put up or shut up, if you think you can do better, there are always match official courses to go on.

I had a clear view from behind the sticks and I was convinced it was a goal. Everybody around me thought it was a goal.
However, Lance Hohaia's try was also a try and not a knock on, I saw that clearly too. But it was adjudged to be a knock on.
I will admit that Saints got lucky today. You played better than us almost throughout the whole game. But that's the way it is. Saints have been on your side of the fence this season and now we are on the other side. No doubt you will be on the lucky side before the season is out too.

Thanks Mr Ganson.
I could turn your argument on it's head and say that if officials were sufficiently skilled and behaved consistently and with transparency, there would be less to get on their backs about and as a result, less abuse from the crowd. It doesn't seem too much to ask of a full-time, paid employee in the elite level of a sport.
I do agree however that they could be better supported by their own organisations in terms of selection, training and CPD.
