Quote: FLAG EDGE TOUCH "More b*llox from the RFL...
"But there is plenty of discussion to be had about how the first half has gone and rightly so. You want to encourage dialogue between the referee and his touch judges and, when you have someone of Steve's experience and knowledge at the game in an official capacity, I think he has every right to go into that dressing room."
What about the other games played in this round? It's seems a rather 'hit & miss' policy...
"There is absolutely no point in having the referees coach in the ground sat there for 80 minutes with no presence about the dressing room area. It's nothing new, I'm a little bit surprised it's hit the headlines."
Again, it's just a matter of fortune (good or bad) that the referees coach is at a particular game...
"What he's said is irrelevant. It was a real ambiguous statement to say the game changed in the second half. We are talking about a fantastic St Helens team who were just behind on scoreboard."
Had Mr Ganson NOT visited the referee at HT there wouldn't have been any kind of ambiguity would there Jon?'"
And yet when there are a couple of referees sat in the video box watching punches , high tackles , players being stood on etc the RFL say that they are not allowed to intervene because it's up to the on field referee and it wouldn't be fair as video refs aren't at every game. I know SG think's he's omniscient but the RFL should be ensuring that as he isn't and can't be at every game he butt's out until he does his weekly review. Inconsistency at every bl00dy level!!
