I couldn't see any grounds to overturn it - he stole the ball 1 on 1 in the act of making the tackle; quick thinking from SL's daftest lad - and more grist to the mill of his growing legendary status amongst Wakey fans.

I suspect because he's out of shape, slow and not especially well equipped to referee a game at SL speed.

Well thats your opinion but I like him, also you've just explained them all with your latter comment. Who do you think is better, Thaler then I'm struggling a bit.

I didn't say I don't like him - I just think it shows that he's a Championship ref.

I think they're all much of a muchness - they do a ridiculously difficult job, in very difficult circumstances, with very little help from the structure that is meant to support them; so when it looks like they're making it up, I think that's probably because they are.

It's tough - we need them, and we want them to be perfect - so we have expectations of them that are absolutely and totally unrealistic, given the restrictions that exist.

But apart from that?

He's a nice lad - got a lovely smile.

Does anyone know where I can find highlights for the Widnes match? I have a subscription to Trinity TV but they only have the full match available and I don't have time to watch a full match. I just want to see the tries.

Maybe it is a sign of how little coverage the Challenge Cup has now that you can't find highlights online. The only ones you can find are for the televised matches.

Just skip to the last 7 minutes. Those were the highlights.

Im sure he has a full time job as well.

5 years ago there was no chance we could of held off the likes of Leeds etc with their cheque books.

This really is the golden age of my 40 years of being a Trin fan and that takes some beating.

David Fifita is the ultimate overseas signing and that really takes some.
