Quote: fartown since 1961 "Much as I think the refereeing standard has declined recently Kendall got the Barba try totally right the only dodgy one he allowed was a Cas one.
The fact that Powell turned up only to vent his ire is what I meant ‘toys out of the pram’ again cos he’s lost still of the opinion it was poor..'"
Well if there's one thing they know about on this board It's whinging about the ref's, Happily nothing like as bad as it used to be.
The ref's for me don't get any better at all and the only way it will ever improve is if someone who's voice means something speaks out, Powell is far from the first to do that and it always comes across as whinging. But the fact is while the game strives to go forward, the quality of reffing gets worse, As much to do with the RFL as the man on the field.
