Quote: Slugger McBatt "The real farce is with foul play. They get the touch judge on to stand next to them, to pretend that they are consulting them, when really they are getting instructions from above. It happened with both Webb and Wilkes, and happened with the Saints guy in France the other week'"
Indeed - Silverwood had to force the touch judge to come stand next to him whilst that little charade was played out, as the fella was rooted to the spot.
I'm still baffled as to how a ref, a touch judge and a VR with access to full HD slo-mo pictures, were between them unable to judge that Webb had jumped up and slammed his elbow into Kirmond's face; it was as clear a sending off as you're ever likely to see.
