Quote: Robbo4 "Ian Smith is the worst ref in SL by a mile. I'd even go as far as to say he is bent. 2 examples for you.
1. 2 weeks ago against Wire, Westwood makes a clear double movement to score a try and the Hull players ask for the decision to be refered to the video ref, Smith completely ignores the request. This week Briscoe scores a perfectly good try and the Leeds players ask for a video ref decision and he instantly goes straight to the screen. What the frick he was looking for?
2. 2 weeks ago against Wire, Tickle tackles a Wire player and holds him down close to the line. The result is Smith sends him to the sinbin. This week Briscoe picks up a loose ball goes close to the line and is tackled and held down for far longer and yet not only does Smith not sinbin a player he doesn't even give a penalty.
