They (RFL) dont like us (Salford) either.

No doubt our games in future will be refereed by Sherlock Holmes & Dr Watson.

We feel its a conspirancy too.

Give us the same Ref every week for me,at least we are guaranteed Disciplinary results.

It's a lot of players to be referred, in three consecutive games. Think I'd struggle to find that level of referral activity in three games for any other team - even Fev!

The answer is teams only try to play like that against us. They only play us twice. In other words we are getting niggly games virtually every game.....but even so....do opposing coaches get involved in citing players.

It doesn't matter how many players get cited,they are only cited because the ref is teflon..You can read stats all day long or think an "all in" is ill-disipline when it's not..Read the OP those are facts,not fiction.

How has Philip ended up becoming so 'well spoken' ? Eloqution lessons, or has he been living down 'south' for years. Anyway..he's irritating !

I think that says more about opposition Coaches in their quest to end our winning streak.

Quite possibly. Even so, there has to be an element of responsibility attached to us, surely?

You would find it very easy, its a contact sport hence very easy to refer if motivated then to have no further action when reviewed with less blinkers despite external pressures

Judging from the Championship stats. for referrals to the Disciplinary, (source - RFL website) I would suggest that there is no other example, this season, of 3 consecutive games, garnering 30-odd referrals.

London - 0
Workington - 1
Hunslet - 2
Batley - 3
Whitehaven - 3
Doncaster - 4
Dewsbury - 6
Halifax - 7
Bradford - 7
Sheffield - 10
Featherstone - 11
Leigh - 37

I don't think referrals are particularly relevant. Do we have any numbers for players charged? That seems much more relevant.

Are all 7 of Fax's referals from the games against Leigh?

Seems strange that in 2 games against Bradford, Fax do not seem to have gone down the biff route. Our discipline this season has been pretty much exemplary apart from the games against Leigh......
