you had tries correctly chalked off. how is that relevant to a discussion about bad decisions?

Obviously we won't quit the Super League as Bernard Guasch said, unthinkable possibility. It is just a political speech to shake off this actual refeering problem. Our team is not as good as possible at the moment but some decisions like at Warrington and Saints games were inapprehensible (Millard and Blanch disallowed tries, and the "amaaaaaaaaaazing" forward pass on Meli's try).

Leave the Super League for this "Super French Championship" is the worst ever idea.

Looks like there's some great armchair refs out there, as usual with threads like these



Fact is, refs will make mistakes......they are human....

The day we see all teams completing 100% and missing no tackles through an entire game, then maybe we could expect refs to not make any mistakes in games......it will never happen.

Without refs we wouldn't have a game....if all who regularly slag them off feel that strongly about it, then get off yer backside and get on a refs course and progress through the ranks and see if you can do better than the current lot are!

The RFL need to show a set and go to town on comments like these.....

We all feel hard done to from time to time and sometimes our teams are unlucky on occasions....it's been happening for the last 100 years though and will happen for the next 100.....FACT...!

Nice

Sorry i'm not having that Monaghan decision.

this season has seen the worst reffing since SL came to Perpignan IMO - not cheating just an in-built northern bias by refs with some extraordinary decisions going against the Catalans - decisions that were not even 50-50 calls in many cases
The worst culprits have been Messers Thaler, Roby and especially Ian Smith - ironically the worst reffing performance of the season at the Catalan home games was by Halibert who was absolutely appalling - it seemed as though he was deliberately not trying to show bias toward his countrymen, he was really OTT !
the biggest problem the french fans and I suspect the Catalans have against the officials (i'm a Saints fan BTW) is the constant need to verify everything with the VR - the attitude towards the Catalans appears to be 'find a reason why the try should stand' rather than find a reason why the try shouldn't be awarded' which are two different things.
the general level of SL reffing is disgraceful so far this season and it's about time refs on the field of play took more responsability and not take the easy option and call for Ian fookin' Smith !

who is going to fund it ?

who is going to watch it ?

it's like saying 'make the Championship a full time pro league' - totally unworkable !

Incompetent they may be, biased they are most certainly not.

penalty stats from the Toulouse Chapmpionship seasons prove the bias - something like a two or three to one in favour of the English clubs and TO13 were not a dirty side

The Catalans were certainly on the end of some bad discisions when they played Saints 2 weeks agao or when ever it was.
The Broncos had some bad discisions against i thought last season,not this season as they have terrible.
I would say that since Super League began the London club have by a long way more 50/50 calls go aginst them than any other club.

Last time I looked, Cats were 4th in the table, level on points with Saints. This bias needs some serious work to considerably up its game, as it's clearly not working.

No it doesn't. All that proves is Toulouse conceded a lot of penalties.



In your subjective opinion.
