Saints fan's on occasion can be, but history tells us it is a rare thing



The issue with Saints fans & Smith is tainted as after you lost a game last year, Anderson throws the toys out of the pram, and he doesn't ref you again all season. Yet another pathetic decisionfrom Scummings and one that pandered to your coach, who for all the great things he did and Saints and his enthuiasm for the game, is a terrible loser.

Now your know why us at Saints cant fu*king stand him. He is awfull.

We all said Hull KR deserved to win, however Smith did not help one bit. He sees what he wants to see.

Translated - I am a Wakefield Trinity fan and have an in bred hatred of anything to do with Leeds Rhino's.

If Hock's disallowed try truely wasn't a try according to the rules, then 50% of the tries in SL wouldn't be allowed.

Just watched the recording of your game last night. Smith missed a few things and you didn't get many if any of the 50-50's but I have to say he was at least 50% better than he was when he reffed our game against HKR. Let's all hope he gets better as the season goes on. Wouldn't it be great if there was consistency with refs. At least then all games would be reffed in the same manner and teams wouldn't need to adjust their game according to who was reffing.

You say that (and it might be true) but don't you think it might have something to do with you having a Saints perspective? I thought Smith couldn't have been much worse last night.

Correct. Ian Smith also allowed Leeds to do exactly the same thing not even a minute later.

Leeds always steal the ball against Wigan. They are very clever at doing it. I posted this elsewhere BEFORE the match. Surely refs must be aware of it. Penalties make a big difference and often lead to tries so I will go as far as Wigan might have won if the ball steals had been spotted.

i think the refs in national league 1 are alot better than these super league refs swap them round for a game see what we get cant do no worse CAN they

Anyone else fed up of having their night ruined by the ref?

smith didnt give leeds a pen till the second half. i think wigan were give 2 in the first half.

we have to give the refs a brake. if they are blowing up every set people are fed up! if they let the game run people get fed up. its a lose lose for em.

leeds got their first open play pen around the hour mark.

which to me says you were given more than a far crack by the ref

I admire your outlook on life

However you forget to mention that Leeds started the game in rampant fashion and even if one of those scores had been chalked off, who's saying that in the next possesion Leeds wouldn't have scored again and then gone on to put 60 on you?
