So they weren't persistantly off side then?

great stuff from sinfield!! the great captain's of the past all ran the game!! hanley ran the game for a decade and wally lewis like wise down under.

rovers came out on top in the pen count so its not that bigger deal.

perhaps he had a point?

this is such a blinkered view you need to get over it. i suppose all those passes were foooooooooooorrrrrrrrwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddddd

you fans are a joke, your worse than us and thats saying something

I have no problem with the captain approaching the ref or any other player for that matter in an appropriate and respectful manner to query a decision but standing there pointing and spitting at him is not a respectful manner and it is not something we who referee at the grass routes level during the winter want to see. Kids see this and think it is ok to act like that and we should not be seen to condone it though I am not surprised that some do. It has far reaching consequences. Regardless of anyone thinking he might have had a point there are ways and means of making that point and this was not the way to go about it. You can be abusive without actually swearing at the ref and his body language was abusive. If I had been approached in that manner he would have definitely sat down for 10. Just because he thinks he is some kind of superstar it shouldn't make any difference.

When i read the thread " Your giving to much to Hull " i didn't know if was about James Webster, Lee crooks or GML

By comparison i thought your humour was scintillating having read your posts insisting Crockers move was still on course

Was that the scottish bloke in Hi de Hi.....
I'll get my coat

Thought the biggest bit of dissent he showed was when he turned his back when Bentham was still talking with his arms out wide. Just for the record I think sinfield was totally justified in all his comments as to coin a phrase from another poster 'they were getting raped by Bentham'.........
and its Rovers so he should be allowed

Sinfield as the captain is allowed to talk to the ref regarding his decisions, providing its respectful. He was a bit frustrated and probably shouldn't have said it in hindsight, however no way does it deserve a sin binning.

Thought the performance from the officials wasn't particularly strong on Friday night personally, Hull KR should have got BOD for their no try IMO. Leeds were definitely hard done too regarding the penalty count given Hull KR were committing the same offences and getting away with it.

That said, I thought it was a pretty good game with good skill shown from both sides at times. Thought Briscoe was MOM, while Senior and Dobson were both contenders.

He didn't spit at him...

Sinfield was right.

As a referee you have a choice to make, take the defence back a good 10 and don't penalise the offsides or keep a skinny ten and be strict wth the offsides. He obviously decided he would penalise the offisdes and did Leeds on around 6 occasions. He did not do Rovers once for it. So what the ref was saying is that Rovers were not offside all night, which is impossible and wrong.

Sinfield was not complaing about being penalised, just that the penaalties were only going one way.

What's all this balony about 'setting a bad example for our kids'? If you are relying on sports stars to set examples for your kids instead of doing it yourself I think I've identified the problem with your fair city!
