as a wakey fan i came over to the game tonight, that ref didnt know the bloody rules. he walked forward with the defence then skipped back and that where he didnt know it was a turn over was just comical. he was just poor all way round, you missed your kicks cas got theres and thats it realy

Why didn't he do something about McGoldrick constantly gobbing off at him????? It actually went from annoying to embarassing he was doing it that much.
Am also surprised no-one's mentioned Tickle's conversion that hit the post. It went over and should have been given. We were right behind the sticks!

You really are quite dense, aren't you?

I had no idea that your avatar was taken from your actual medical records.

Ref was even worse in the flesh.

It not just this ref all S/L ref are bad ..They must have the best job in the World They make errors after errors but they are not answerable to anybody People pay good money to watch the game of Rugby League And we should Expect better standard of refereeing ..If most people did their jobs and make mistakes like R/L ref make they would be Sacked This ref was clueless

Yes every ref makes errors and get slagged for them but this ref was hopeless. I can forgive mistakes by refs because they are only human but a basic lack of knowledge of the rules is unforgivable.

I said when he was given the SL role that he was bad and tonight proved it. Laying on by both sides for the full game was allowed, and what the heck was he doing on that 5th tackle play, luckily the players told him to consult his touch judge who again, luckily knew the rules!!

my only gripe with the referee tonight was 2 blatant grapple tackles, arms around the neck, one after each other late in the second half, the first on yeaman, after bombing the try scoring pass to briscoe, halibert was stood right next to him and blatantly ignored this and the following grapple tackle on the next play when he awarded us a penalty for cas being offside instead


wasnt a certain coach moaning about this last week!! yet his own players used these tactics tonight

In my view this ref looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights, he's been thrown into the deep end far to early. Through circumstances more than anything it has to be said!

He hadn't got a clue that ref for both sides, i said to my mate at the time that is the worst refereeing display i have seen in a long time. Knock ons weren't given when they should have been (for both sides) players were offside (again for both sides) and holding down (both sides) was very rarely penalized and i would be delighted never to have him again because it's all well and good winning but at times tonight some of the decisions were unbelievable

Oh and has anyone got a picture of the scoreboard at FT tonight to replace the Wigan one in my sig
