Off the top of my head.....
We drew with FC at Griffin Park due to an error at the end of the game by Ganson. Dennis Moran was clear one on one, chipped the FB and was pulled back as he chased the ball........
We lost heavily to Leeds at the Stoop as Quins after leading at Half time because Bentham only gave Webb 10 minutes instead of a red for an awful head high DELIBERATE hit on McLinden...Webb scored twice when he came back on and McLinden didn't get a penalty try which was warranted.
Referees have a massive impact on the outcome of games. If Catalan had beaten Wire last week it would have been 100% down to them messing about at the PTB. Even the head of the referees commented on it.
Nope, referees don't miss tackles or score tries, but they do influence the outcome of games and the best refs are the ones who seem even handed throughout a season.......Ashley Clown was pretty good at it.
