Yeah, maybe they've brought Nathan Brown back as defensive coach

A great win again. This League has so many evenly matched teams, every game is a battle. We've coped with a weakened left edge well losing two of the comps best players. Some more big games coming up that will be close. The best aspect for me is I used to go to games with some fear. Now I genuinely believe we can beat anyone. Even with injuries. We've a hell of a squad!
I hate ref bashing and our club are good at supporting refs overall but by eck was it frustrating last night. Maybe watching back on Trinity TV might make me change my mind... We'll see. Dave gave 4 pens away allegedly and he was quick to ping us but we got held down considerably. Throwing the ball downhill to the side at Jordan is a disgrace. Goal line offsides awful. Several contentious decisions I can't wait to view. Coaching team must pull their hair out at times!
Finally, meat pie man Dave! Wow. Stop that lad if you dare...
Onwards and upwards

Cheating has been around in RL since day one as you know. What’s different here and this a new low is that the refs are knowingly sanctioning cheating the key word being knowingly.

There is no excuse here, he either didn’t see it in which case he can’t give it - or - he blatantly decided in favour of an obvious cheat. He simply has no excuse and should be dropped.

That said he’s not totally at fault as this mentality comes from the top and imho the head of referees should also fall on his sword because imo he’s created this problem by cow towing to Aussie coaches.

Our game highlights aren't on Sky Sports site yet!

The ref is clearly not cheating. He sees what he sees and makes a decision at speed.
Easy to be an expert afterwards.

Every man and his dog could see what Leeming did from the back of the North Stand as it happened. I do have some sympathy for the ref though because what the hell are the linesman for.

See it at speed it was like slow motion Stevie Wonder could’ve seen it was cheating.

Generally you seem a fair-minded poster Mick, but I can't agree with the above statement. That's the attitude, I'm afraid that gives bad referees carte blanche to continue making terrible errors and, yes, cheating. Referees are not gods and there should be some way that enables players, club officials and fans can take them to task when they display such terrible officiating and biased decisions. The man was awful!!

I think that until we obtain a temporary specialist winger we ought to try switching BJB over to the right outside Joe and bringing Max to play alongside Reece in order to give the threequarter line a better balance, and hopefully to bring Ben more into the game for his finishing expertise. Worth a try? (No pun intended)

I was referring to Leeming as cheating and that it wasn’t at full speed like you say, even looking at the ref as he throws it,I’m sure I read that it was up to the refs discretion wether to penalise or not the play we are discussing, if so, then he’s no better .

Yes he is in essence and we all saw it at the time, you’re just being contrary as ever.

Nope. You saw something and made an opinion. The ref saw the same thing differently. That's not cheating.
If he was cheating he'd have given them the game wouldn't he.

And he was closer.

I'll watch on Trinity TV. It may well be a mistake but the ref isn't cheating.

Sorry pops but you can’t win this one - it was simply impossible not to see what we did - end of.
