tackle in mid air....both players going for the ball...eyes on the ball....penalty to Saints to get you out of your own 25....shocking decision.

Not showing the yellow to Percival for the professional foul on O'Brien ,ok it was in the 1st minute but it was a deliberate ploy as we had you on the rack down that edge.

Falling for Turners Klinsman esq dive for a penalty.

Putting Wire on a team warning for backchat to the ref, but not even speaking to the Saints captain despite Percival and Burns being guilty of it too.

I've watched it back, the first half reffing is awful, got better in 2nd half.
But if you don't want to hear Hemmings more or less cheering for Saints or Stevo creaming over Roby every 5 mins don't waste your time pal.

I had to watch it with the sound off....it was that bad.

Strange ref bias in rugby league ,in football you quite often get a home advantage with the ref , in RL it just seems to be who they perceive as the biggest team

This new system of referring to the video ref with referees opinion up front seems no less of a cop out than the old VR system...if the on field ref signals no try he should have the bottle to call it himself.

Mate you talk that much pesh on this forum, that sky have just got you a special seat between those other 2 saints loving clown children,, stevo and Eddie,, fit right in there perfectly!!

Feel sorry for Bradford and Leigh in a couple of days as he seems to be refereeing their game. A top of the table clash in the Championship, and the best appointment they can come up with is James Child.

Has Stuart Cummings got his job back or something? A appointment like this sniffs of the his prior handiwork.

Not seeing any mention of Penny's try being wrongfully awarded despite blatant failure to clear the ruck and Penny being several yards offside!

Watch the game back, Child did ok. There were a couple of poor calls, but nothing major. The result last night certainly wasn't influenced by Child!

Nobody to blame except Walsh for that, he had access to the ball and was milking the penalty. If he'd just got on with it instead of relying on Child for your field position Penny might not have scored.

Where has anyone said the result was directly influenced by Child? All I can see is warranted criticism of his performance.
I don't know about you but I go to matches to watch RL not to see some jumped up official blowing his whistle every 5 mins trying to get on TV.

The fact that the cretin put our whole TEAM on a warning in the 1st half was a bloody joke. Especially as Stains were committing exactly the same indiscretions!

Apart from England none of our lads swore a the ref, Ratchford even said "but Sir, he dived!"...yet Percival was shown to swear with his face shown on a close-up on camera!

If you read my opening post I never said the result was influenced by him. My whole post was to set out that as a spectators in the crowd he appeared to be out of his depth and was giving pens that no one understood.

On that - Atkins's try / No try. If he knocked on / lost the ball then its Saints ball.
If its knocked out of his hand then its a penalty try
If the saints player grounded it, its a goal line drop out.

Can someone explain how we were awarded a penalty on the 10m line?

Drivel ref (for both sides). The inconsistency in refereeing is so blatant, even Stevie Wonder could see it
Muppet video ref
Stephenson and Hemmings were vomit inducing
