Wasn't the ref who let Thompson skip over in the corner or didn't cover the short kick through or not have enough cover across for the kick out wide. We were poor in the second half that is all.

On another day it could have been 24-0 to Leigh at the break. We need to smart up and quick.

Also a penalty in the second half to go 8 points in front was kicked to touch and bombed.

Green - Woeful, offers 6'4" of absolutely nothing, Dayne Weston must be kicking himself.
Hampshire - Worse full back in the competition by a country mile. McNally, back in full training must go straight in next match. Especially until Willie Tonga returns for Mitch Brown to revert to FB.


I will not blame the referee; Neil Jukes summed up the second half perfectly ' Garbage' - Now let's get Widnes beat, leaving us to find (c)6 more wins to avoid the middle 8's.

OK then, I will

Cambell 'Refereed' our Home games against Swinton, Batley and Bradford and in each one he was contentious or bad, depending on which way you look at it Bad for me

Campbell will officiate in the championship this week. Hull Kr v Batley.

So....reading the disciplinary report on the no charge incident. The words 'made a legitimate attempt to tackle' also 'made contact with the upper body and arms' also 'no contact with the head' so in other words it was an incorrect call from Campbell and I agree with an earlier poster about the last few games he has reffed us he has made some strange decisions. If it was the Batley game I am thinking of he sin binned Hock for NOT punching anyone!!

Everyone is
A) Gobbing off about poor Reffing
B) Bemoaning the lack of Refs coming through.

Surprise? Not!

RL refs are not biased for any side. They are just the same as players. They have good games and bad games.

Re: Why was Hock given a second chance! : Tue Mar 28, 2017 8:44 pm  

But some have more bad games....or good games than others

However, had Hock not swung the arm at head height (it would have connected, had the ball carrier's arms not been up)

Just plain *WRONG* ....

Had he not had his arm up then the tackle by Hock would have hit him around the shoulder

Watch it back, I have, hits at upper chest/shoulder height & slides up after contact. The other one was high, no intent just sloppy technique & poorly timed.

So, yes, the result was tight, the calls were bad. But beyond that there were bits of loose play that cost you the game too. Fair

Overall & considering the standard of Refereeing the Trinity deserved 'just about' to edge it & it was mainly down to some poor execution on plays in the 2nd half that Leigh didn't win.

I am hopeful that this is the kick in the slats that we 'might' need to focus the team for 'full 80 performances'.

So far, from what I have seen, I don't fear the 8's.
