OMFG. If this is the best ref in the competition then as ever the game is f&€ked.

Simply one of the most inept, shameful and biased decision making performances I have witnessed in years.

Will anything officially be said "NO".

Our game referreed by Buffons, lead by an idiot.

The way the second referree Sam Tomkins officiates is something very special.

Ruck was policed under different rules based upon who had the ball. Thought it at the time and the replay doesn't change my mind at all.

How he gave a knock on against Yeaman in the 2nd half when the ball went backwards yet he doesn't give the one against Williams when he loses blatant control from the big hit just showed the disparity between his decisions last night. Very poor

Do Tautai's game yardage starts include the metres he makes after he's been tackled? Used to be a penalty for playing off the mark when I was a lad. It's not like it's the odd occasion.

Agreed. What makes it disappointing is that I thought he refereed the game at their place very well in this respect.

He was 'just' happy with both teams apparently. Check out the audio between Thaler and Gaz in the first half after the Green high tackle penalty.

I don't agree that he was that poor. My only problem with him was whenever Hull lost possession it was a knock on irrespective of which way the ball went.

On nearly every occasion Wigan lost it, it naturally went backwards.

Apart from the important one at the end.

Most annoying for me was the penalty against Ellis, not standing square when Headshot Boy moved a yard to his left to play the ball!!!!! It went on unpunished all game

My opinion last night at the game was that in the last 30 minutes he produced the most blatantly biased refereeing performance I could remember seeing in more than 30 years of watching RL.

Haven't watched the match back yet so that opinion [imay[/i change.

it will change to 80 minutes ...

Although I thought he was Wigoon's MOM, he will probably get demoted now, for failing his instructions to get them their win. All that hard work from red hall to get them a near full squad was for nothing in the end

Ball steal on mini on 76 mins was a good one.

"knock on" benny cries.

I was watching a recording of the game, because my good wife isn't a rugby fan, so It is very rare I view live stuff on TV.
This however gives me the chance to bin it if it is rubbish.

I was on the point of binning this game because of Thaler.He was spoiling the game.
At 6-2 to Wigan and nearing halftime, I was scratching my head as to how a side so much on top was losing and how they could possible win should this blinkered refing continue.

So I thought sod this and looked at the result on my phone, had Wigan won I would have binned it.
Fortunately Hull had won, so I carried on watching, thinking that I could stop shouting at the TV and relax.

The clown still had me shouting at him in the second half.

Cards on table, I dislike Wigan so am biassed, BUT, it struck me that any bit of messing about by Hull was quickly seized on and Wigan just did similar stuff ALL game and suffered little.

I don't subscribe to the idea that refs are bent, but I do think some can be hoodwinked relatively easily or influenced.

Wigan have turned messing about in the tackle and play the ball into an art form and refs are too soft on them.
