No sour grapes from me - Leeds upped the pace at the right time and we crumbled. Injuries and a couple of key decisions were aggravating factors but not the deciding factor.

For what it’s worth - it was mainly the tackle/PTB and just inconsistent interpretations. I don’t think he bothered with offside much but still pinged us a couple of times out of the blue (same with Leeds late on there). A few people are complaining about the Evalds tackle in the air but for me that one was pretty close - others did not seem to be close at all. If you want specifics there were three almost identical knock down/knockon calls and all three went against Salford- two were blatantly wrong and I’m not sure the third was clear cut.

It’s a hard job though so I’ll leave it there.

Never heard of that referee and hope not to see him again he was totally useless, had no right to be refereeing an under 7's game, when Leeds took Evalds in the air and he gave a drop out that changed the whole game for me they scored and it all went downhill.

What I will say is he gave us four penaltys in quick succession once the game had gone and I don't believe a single one was a penalty whilst noting it took him until the fourth to put Leeds on a team warning whilst it only took him three penaltys in the first half to do the same to us.

Again for the third game in a row I watched two poor sides for sure both us and Leeds won't be troubling Old Trafford.

You know when the referee is bad when the players start losing it with him I'm surprised we didn't have anyone sent off for instance Pauli Pauli thumping the padding and Joey Lussick literally throwing the ball at him after Joey scooped the ball up and was away, Joey knew he hadn't knocked on and that useless ref should have then sent Joey off but just gave the scrum to Leeds under the sticks.
