Normally don't criticise a ref for the odd forward or offside if it evens itself out but today's performance was as bad as it gets in the first half. He did the usual even things up a bit in the second half but the game had already gone.

I think the club should say something. I am sure the fans would have a whip round to pay the fine.

I don't think Hicks was biased, he just isn't up to reffing at this level but what can you do?

The speed of the ruck was the slowest I've seen since a NL1 game back in 2006, a really poor spectacle.

The RFL ought to do away with the in-goal judges and use the spare officials to have 2 refs.

Awful. I admit when we have been beaten by a better side and Leeds were better, but Hicks (as usual) was well below SL standards, he doesn't look fit and that is why he maybe miss so much, especially forwards.

The RFL bang on about 'respect' for officials, but in my book respect is earned and not dished out for free. Hicks lost what little of my respect he had last season when he engineered a comeback at Cas when we were leading by a big score and he all of a sudden began calling some outrageous penalties against us.

The one that angered me was a shoulder charge slap bang in front of him and he waved play on, but the linesman ran on waving his flag and he had to give us the penalty.

He made a series of howlers in Leeds favour in the 15 mins or so before half time. This opened up a big lead for Leeds when the game had been pretty close, 2nd half we weren't good enough to pull it back.

He was never close enough to witness any forwards

What?[i Again[/i??

Which ref are we on about? Hicks, Sinfield or Maguire

Sinfield & McGuire didn't have anything to whinge about today, Hicks must have had them shell shocked.

Good ref that maguire...

Your kidding right? Them 2 were constantly telling him what to do.

I did notice at one point in the second half Hicks had to call Whingefield over to tell Dobbo what the penalty was for

I said they didn't have anything to whinge about today, I never said they didn't whinge.

I'd be suprised if the rhinos actually passed a ball backwards all game . Nobody will get any 50/50 call against the big 2 (leeds or wiganp

The right bracket is the one above the 'p'

The 2nd to last try was right in line with me and it was definately forward, the problem was the linesman was about 20 yard back and Hicks was nowhere near to see it.
