I'm a Leeds fan and i agree with the Catalan players.

The RFL is investigating.

How about the RFL realise the refs are usually complete horse manure and this is inevitably going to frustrate people. Better reffing = Less anger at pi55 poor officiating

I love that quote from Robinson.

Especially if he said it with a dead pan face!

Players will always knock on, kick direct into touch etc, what we want from referees is a higher level of consistency in their performance. Its seems like every week one cocks up a vital decision, which if the score is 50-0 with 10 minutes to go will not have any effect, however if its 18-16 at the time and the decision costs one side two points, then the RFL need to start punishing poor performances where the mistakes are costly.

People always bring this argument up and it makes absolutely no sense. A player knows what they want to do with the ball but sometimes they don't have the skill, another player stops them from doing it, etc. A referee has to look at what's happening and make a decision on it. Not saying it's easy, but they're two completely different things.

How should the RFL 'punish' the refs? Send them to the championship for a week? They would have to replace them with refs who are not as good as the current ones and who would make more mistakes. No matter how good or bad the current ones are we have to accept that they are probably the best we have got, and they are trying their hardest. Perhaps we should try having a game with no ref and see how we get on then.
People need to start ignoring the refs and concentrate more on just enjoying the rugby.Sadly, the muppets on sky are not helping as they seem utterly obsessed with what the ref is doing and fans seem to be following their lead.

Not just the idiots on Sky (not that they are not idiots) but although I was severely hungover and drifting in and out of sleep during the ANZAC test on the weekend. Everytime I seemed to wake up the Aussie commentators were bemused by another odd decision from "Mr Silverwood"

Twitter is the work of the devil and any person in the public eye, no matter how little, should avoid it like the plague.

Greenshields playing to the gallery and blaming the ref. I'd think more of him if he had a good go at his team mates, in the dressing room not on twitter.

The point is this

Consistency between refs, and from game to game for the same ref in some cases, could be better. But that's true of a number of players, too. If you've got a penalty machine like Gareth Hock, Ben Westwood or Ben Cross playing for your team, it's unlikely that the problem in a close game is going to be the ref's calls.

Re clint can anyone tell me if he is injured, i heard a commentator on sky say about a full back being our for a long time, this was just before the catalan leeds match kicked off but i didnt hear who he said, and greensheilds didnt play last week ive looked all over but can not seem to find out anything, can anyone help please.
Ive got him in a fantasy team, and living in the south i dont get as much S/L news as north.
Cheers.
