Different ref , Different game . Kendal is gash regardless who he's reffing . Didn't see the Griffin incident (I was at the bar )but players miss games for his willingness to issue cards , Id like the RFL to do the same for Refs rather than just demote them . He's utter cack !

Close game but the Griffin incident turned the tide. He was really stupid to get into the face of the ref like he did and once he got the yellow card it should of been a case of "yes sir,sorry sir" he could of gone into the changing room and yelled all he wanted to. But instead he's come out with some abusive language that you could clearly lipread and he gave the ref very little choice.

The Fash incident was something you can see in almost every game and to my mind it's a penalty at most and i'm a Saints fan.

Amazing how all the officials missed Walmsley going in with his knees when Truey scored

Then the shoulder charge by Batchelor?

Sick of Kendall reffing when we play Saints. Said it before the game and was proved correct.

We don’t stand a chance when he is

Well if what I heard a couple of weeks ago about Kendall, it could explain some of his decisions in all the games he refs, not just ours.

Spill the beans

Was it that he's actually registered blind?

Can’t have any complaints today, we all know what Kendall is like, he loves the lime light in these sort of games, unfortunately we was daft enough to give him the opportunity to make it all about him. If it was an isolated incident I’d be more forgiving but it’s not the first time Griffin has been pulled up for dissent and is something that isn’t needed. Yeah he’s an awful ref, and yes I understand tensions are high. But he as a senior has to be much smarter and the bigger person for me, and ultimately swung the game in Saints’s favour.

Overall, I thought we did okay, daft mistakes (Satae offload on the 2nd tackle) didn’t help. Looks like a costly game injury/suspension wise. Be tempted to rest/rotate for the Thursday game as much as possible and then kick on from there

So glad you lost today. Thinking it’s acceptable to forearm smash a prone player.

Why do teams who are awful resort to being as dirty as possible?

19 games !!!!

From viewing it. It looks like Griffin asks Kendall what the penalty was for. Then he seems to point towards the screen, possibly suggesting that he was asking Kendall if he could have used the video ref?

Then Griffin turned and was walking away and said something to himself. He didn't direct what he said at Kendall.

A good referee would have had the people skills to deal with that situation.

We had a great, value for money, entertaining first half and then Kendsll ruined it for everyone, because despite the experience he has, these types of occasions are too high for his standard of refereeing.

I don't blame Griffin one bit. A more competent referee would have dealt with that situation by laughing at Griffin and telling him to go have a half-time cuppa.

I say Griffin did nothing that merited even a ten minutes sin bin. And I challenge Kendall, the touch judges and anyone at the RFL to prove me wrong by telling us what was said..

What a stupid post, id say the video of Josh Griffin sat with his missus, head in hands in the changing room suggests that he knows hes just let his team mates down, obviously thats just a guess though, much like what youve just guessed.

What a patheticly, ridiculous, stupid, silly, dumb post that is by you.

Haven't had the pleasure of watching the full game yet, only saw about 10 mins, Trueman and Welsbys scores.

Sounds like we were on the wrong end of some iffy calls. On the Griffin red its just dumb from him. Saying that Kendall comes across as though he has a massive superiority complex and isn't a great communicator.

Saw enough of the game to not pick Dwyer for next week. Said he was a headless chicken when we were linked with him last season.

Would I have taken that performance before the game? Probably, but do wonder what might have been if no card was shown

Looks like we'll be missing Griffin, Taylor and possibly Hoy and Fash for next week.

I was impressed by our ability to still create space out wide with our shape in that second half. Couple of opportunities created out there. Really like the look of the direction out attack is going in- fluid and expansive.

Also, what’s the point in giving him the ten minutes to calm down and then instantly giving him the red? I’ve never seen the cards used this way (like football) in rugby.
