This referee was probably one of the worst officials I've witnessed in rugby league.With an indecisive nature and clear cut calls rulled out against Leigh this so called official was certainly not fair to say the least and is a joke to be considered a referee! The touch judges being influenced by coaches are signs of their incompetence and should be sacked or at least accessed. At such a crucial stage of the championship survival is paramount and with poor descisions made in any game officials should conduct their work professionally and fairly. Unfortunately sundays match with Gateshead wasn't delt with fairly but due to the fact that Gateshead Thunder record all their games courtesy of Thunder TV this game can be analyzed and hopefully will be delt with.Hopefully the likes of Craig Halloran and others will not be licienced as match officials if they do analyze the footage.

All games in the pro game are filmed and copies have to be at the refs facilitators within two days of the game (one day SL and three days CH1) failure to do so can result in a £1000 fine plus extra fines for every day late.
Not many teams in Ch and ch1 send video teams to the away games but Leigh do (me ) my away copy does not get forwarded to the Refs facilitator unless the club do it or the RFL ask for it in special circumstances, or for discipline committee reasons.

Don't worry about any litigation Frank - I and others will stand by you and tell the courts how much you really do deserve a holiday - on your own - away from it all

Thanks for that Henry it is a sentiment I would have expected of you and I shall pass the hat round on Monday. A week after that game I shall have a few days in Benidorm.

well Fred I'd love to see that video all though I bet it'll make anyone cringe watching it! Gateshead always put their videos on youtube no longer than a couple of days after the match but they must me massively editing it to make it appear a fair game. Its could take them all year maybe or never get published they deffinately have some thing to hide & Craig Halloran is a !

I never put he was a nice person this software is messed up now i seem like a W**ker oh I meen nice person haha!

I think they only put thier highlights on though? as for seeing the game grease my palm with a £5 note and a copy is yours

I shouldn't bother while we got robbed but I'm intreaged to look back on the game. how longs the footage & is it clear enough?

I think Fred might have something to say about the quality of his product . Regarding the game, to say we were robbed is a bit OTT.Lets just say too many important decisions were called in favour of the home side.

The footage is the whole match and the end up to where the ref enters the 'tunnel', as for quality, well the RFL and the last 6 Leigh coaches haven't had a problem with the quality, neither did 3 ex RMI managers, the coaches at Leigh East or the firms who film Morecambe football club, Blackpool Panthers, Rochdale Hornets, Swinton - I film on digi-cams not mobile phones , my 'work' is on youTUBE, BLIP.TV and a few other internet sites, need I go on
Not to mention I have better commentators than SKY or the BBC, thanks to Dave Parkinson who has taken over as main commentator and Derek Disley who provides his insight into the game at home games, and thanks to them both, and of coursae Si who's my back-up man, on both camera and Mic, sorry to go on but I don't give the 'team' enough praise and just thought it was an apt time to do so.
