Decent game

we will have to agree to disagree

Thought he had a shocking game.

If the roles had been reversed none of you would have been on here berating the ref for not sin binning the player.

Thought he was poor but have to say the one yellow card he did get right was Kirmos when he stuck his leg out seen it happen so many times with different players and they have got away with it.He had no choice with England and Gidley but to use the yellow card but was a bit harsh on BJB

The amount.of bad ones we get I thought he was ok. Tbf

Well one things for sure we cannot complain of Campbell refereeing Warrington when Ben Thaler (Normanton?) referees our games at times.

That's a great point, if only Campbell was from Warrington then it would be a valid argument.

If anything, being from Widnes, he should have murdered the Wire for penalties.

If anything, the binning of Gidley sounded harsh; we lost a prop and they lost their main playmaker - couldn't have worked out better if it had been planned...

Yes I also thought Gidley going wasn't so much a turning point as the thing that just slowed Warrington down enough for us to hold on.

Not sure what he did to upset England. It was a stray arm and England flapped back at him, then he launched some big ones. Not sure what Gidley could have done but ref would have heard what was said a swell so may have decided he did enough to goad him.

It was hard to see the Bishop "incident" from the Northstand, especially with ageing eyes but, the Kirmo sin bin definitely looked harsh.
Having said that, it was Campbell's first SL game and it was ok.
Wire looked offside for most of the first half, certainly moving up quickly and as the half went on, they were getting off their line quicker and quicker. There were some plays when thy were almost in our defensive line by the time the ball was played


We've certainly had worse at BV recently and he looked far better than I've ever seen Child

I thought he was OK but I wonder how many of the 50:50 calls were lost as a result of input from that old fart linesman.
The markers not square at the ptb is so inconsistent though. I could see many instances were both Wakey and Wire got away with it but then got picked up at other times.

It's called line speed if you are a top end side and off side for anyone else.
