Far from paranoid but I do like a good conspiracy theory.
Where's me man on moon one gone.

Three points: 1. FrankB once said to me you should never blame the ref - he may have thought again after last night.
2. Stuart Littler was 'onside' when he intercepted and would have scored at 10-0. Stokes was stood adjacent to the play the ball on our line with his back to Littler - Littler was stood 'on the line' He just guessed that he was offside. 3. This is twice we have been robbed at Featherstone - once by Leahy and now Stokes.

How do you know the ref gave off side

I thought the same as I was sure he gave 'hand ball', this was a new one for me but it was consistent to most other things he made up last night.

That's what he signalled in awarding the penalty. Littler only had to be a yard back from the ptb, which was right on our line. Your first try came direct from that penalty, as I'm pretty sure one of our early ones did. I wouldn't question the penalties against us, but I (and the players I suspect) was disappointed that mainly one team was considered to be comitting the offences.

I can't understand a ref who gives one team (us) four consecutive penalties in the first twenty minutes, when we, unbelievably didn't concede any. He then proceeded to cane us, with 16 of the next 20 going to you guys. Obviously we were under pressure, and liable to concede, just as you were at times, but didn't.

He reffed us at Halifax and the penalty count was 10-4 against. He reffed us at Batley, and we conceded 12. He reffed us at home to Sheffield and we only conceded 6. On that basis, perhaps we should hope to get him again next Thursday!!

He did signal it but how do you know he gave it

Wont comment till watch the replay later.

Well who did if it wasn't the ref ? It wasn't offside imo did you think it was ?

Just go on Google and type in " Whinging coach meets not too bad a referee" and you`ll see "Whinging coach meets wtf have you down with the decent referee"....

To be fair I would just move on and take your 2nd chance next Thursday and forget all about your "injustice". good luck against whoever you face as I think it will be a great game in the final and the rightful outcome for the best and 2nd best teams outside of Super Duper League. Good luck]

Just got a snippet of the latest Spielberg blockbuster, 'Raped at the Road'. Its about a sport that has lost its integrity and a specific play off game.

This is the script from a half time incident in the tunnel.
