If a team is consistently commiting offences then im afraid somebody has to be sin binned. And the ref made Dobson (i think) aware of this. KR gave away 5 penalties in the first 7 or so minutes so what did they honestly expect to happen? Yes yes, we can go on about Hicks' little toe touching a flick of paint and Briers making a meal out of that penalty etc but the fact remains, KR were second best. They offered jack going forward and had it not been for their heroic defence, they'd have seriously been shafted right up the backside.

Oh and interestingly, 6 of our first 13 weren't even on the field on Friday.

Accept your defeat and move on...!

So he invented a penalty when he saw it was Clint Newton, He shouted 2 and then blows up and decides it was a grapple tackle when the players are moving away. It was shocking but then again he was just as bad the week before when we had him

Can we all agree that the current crop of super league referee's are pap and would struggle to control a match in the summer conference league. Where are the up and coming referee's ? How can, if we wanted to, go to two referee's in a game. We have neither the quality nor numbers. The officials are slowing killing the game with their ineptitude and their inability to follow the rule book consistently.
Does anyone have an answer to this downward spiral ?

Playground rules....... Two teams, no ref, game carries on at breaktime...SORTED!!!!...

IMO Warrington were the far better team and would have won no matter what, but we werent helped by some dubious reffing decisions, i cant remember one penalty for a high tackle/grapple going against a Warrington player, some of the high tackles we were pulled for werent even high tackles, the high shot on Briers was comical at best.
Briers screaming at the ref for a sin binning was unacceptable too. As i said, Warrington would have won, but without the sin binning it would have been a lot closer
