Is it me, or are there two sets of rules being played here. Now don't get me wrong, the Crusaders deserve to lose by 50 points for their performance. It's not like Silverwood is helping their chances of getting anything in this match though.
Crusaders hold a player for 3 seconds, penalty!
Bradford player has 3 goes at a Crusaders player, Crusaders player gets told to play the ball quicker.
What exactly is going on here?

The only thing worse than the two teams on show has been the ref.

| I'm not sure about that L'Estrange try either, but it hasn't been the best advert for rugby league.
Maybe it's because they are too cold!  |

There is another decision. Whoever the bradford player was, just jumped from the field of play, and caught the ball in goal. Thats a drop-out. Yet nothing given again.

There have been some terrible calls like that. Both sides and the ref look like they were out drinking last night. |

Didn't think Sammut grounded that myself, didn't get full downward pressure in my eyes. Didn't agree with the L'Estrange try either...

The Crusaders may aswell give up now. Tony Martin wants to play the ball, he has to wait for 3 Bradford players to get off him and back into position. He's not allowed to take it when he wants to.
Very poor showing for superleague. Silverwood has ruined this game.
Edit: Sammut deffo scored that, on the other angle clearly shows it

Madness.
An appalling game of Rugby League. Two very poor teams on show tonight.

I was watching it but fell asleep. Then woke up 10 minutes later and it was still on. Unfortunately.
Poor game

If Cru had played properly they could have won by 40. Don't know what was going on from either team.

Can't stand the refs being the centre of attention. Just let the lads play the bloody game, both sides are holding down so just leave them to it and stop whistling.

I flipped to the RU a few times. If in the RU, they had seen a few minutes of the way any of that RL was played, they'd had had heart attacks, it was so relatively fast and intense.

Silverwood blew the whistle before he grounded the ball for the video ref so should the try of been awarded as play should have stopped? Confused.com

He did.

Gareth Thomas screwed up and L'Estrange capitalised on it.
Terrible game though. I'm so glad I didn't bother going. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |
