Yes I was warned, you were bang on he was shocking. Like you ,this is starting to get me down. Refs are having too much influence on the outcome of games.

As I understand it, each Monday after the weekend games, each club is sent an email questionnaire for the clubs assessment on the Match officials performance of their game.
I’m sure a club can express their views in this way.

| It’s atrocious really that certain ref’s incompetences are genuinely stopping fans from attending games. I didn’t go Sunday but I watched the Wigan- Wire game Friday on sky. Bevan French feet were both in touch as he dived in for a rightly so disallowed try. The touch judge was literally stood 5 foot away and yet it still got sent up as a try. Yet against cas every one of ours got sent up as no try’s. How T F can a referee send it up to the video ref as a try/no try when they clearly don’t know themselves. It’s an absolute joke.

Yes thats correct. A coach can even question an incident and get an explanation because often in the past we have had an appology from the head of referees snd acceptance that mistakes were made. However nothing seems to alter.
The rules of the game dont help as some situation are impossible to judge and the ref has to guess, ie ball strip/ loss. Six again also has a wide variety of interpretations.
Having said all that, yesterday i saw a referee who was extremly vigilent in seeing we were in side especially in their 20. Yet seemed not to care to look at what Catalan were doing in defence.

It was a bit soul destroying but there appeared some ‘shepherding’ going on at the game yesterday by the officials.
I often think it’s down to lack of investment in the training of the officials but yesterday in a number of areas it was hard not to view the way Grant and co referred as impartial.
The time that Catalans were afforded on the floor was diabolical and the constant flops that went unpunished in almost every tackle which allowed their line to be set before we could even struggle to play the ball. In contrast we were penalised with repeated six agains for holding down.
When the linesman and ref missed Gaskell being taken off the ball and the crowd went crazy he gave a six again to cats shortly after when there was no visible infringement was just a two fingers up to the trinity fans.
Yes we started terrible for the first 10-15 minutes but we did sort it out in defence after that but to an extent we were ushered away from good field positions repeatedly.

Tompkins kept coming on as 'waterboy' and kept offering the referee water.

| Sorry but I just watched on highlights that Catalan dragons player May go in as 3rd man on Murphy who was pretty much stopped and pull his legs up and almost dump him on his head.
How on earth was he allowed to come back on the field? That could have done some serious damage to Murphy back/neck. Even worse there was absolutely no need to do it.
Tom Grant wasn’t even going to penalise it too and only stopped play because the TJ run on.

Haven't seen it back but I'm amazed it wasn't a red, particularly with what players were getting sent off for early on in the season. I noted that Grant wasn't going to punish it either.

It’s worse watching it on the superleague highlights. Should have been a straight red. I can’t fathom how differently a ref can police two teams in the same game for offences. I’m struggling to excuse it with the usual ‘inconsistency’ or ‘human error’. It’s one of the very few ocassions I actually come to the conclusion it was biased and intentional rather than just inept.
There’s nothing that you can do though as you can’t question them.

There's plenty not to like about that man regarding his refereeing, but I'll tell you the worst thing about Grant as far as I'm concerned and that's his arrogance the way he dismisses players who try and question his decisions, he used to be a good ref that's why he got promoted to SL, since then he now thinks he's bigger than the game, I think he believes he's never made a bad call, what a phenonemon he truly is.

| As others have said the poor standard of officials is killing the game as a spectator sport. I have no enthusiasm for the game I watch my team that's it. That is in question at the moment because the way the game is going enjoyment becomes anger. I don't need to pay to watch a bloke that kill a spectator sport it's a joke and the rest are not much better. When it becomes a discussion of the officials the game as entertainment has lost it!
