Do you see the team in posession penalised for dissent?

Yeah, me neither.

And what did keef actually say? it didn't look it was much, it's not like he called the ref a kunt (though that would have been quite accurate)

From what I could make out from my seat 20 rows back, it was something like "Excuse me sir but are these Australian gentlemen abiding by the rules?"

Ganson has done it to us a few times namely Disko,Burrow and Mcguire for appealing for quicker ptb's.
To be honest he shouldn't of said anything especially someone as experienced as he is because we all know what's gonna happen.

Really? do we know what's going to happen?

Because players other than the captains shout say stuff to the ref all the time.

Then a player will say something seemingly innocuous and BOOM from nowhere it's a penalty.

''but sir'' BOOM another 10 metres!

Our refs are a bunch of inconsistent wretched turds.

It's a gamble not worth taking,already this year we've seen how many penalties we've conceded so why leave it to chance??
He'd reffed the game the same way all night so questioning the initial "call" was always gonna back-fire imo.
The players have to adapt better to how they are been reffed at the time,it's a pain in the ar$e and every ref has different interpritations but the players should just get on with it and leave the talking to the captain.
I understand their frustration but whilst cummings is in charge i don't see it getting better they'll have good games and bad it's up to the players to rise above it and play the game imo.

It also happened to Salford V Bradford on Friday night (referee: James Child) so that's at least twice this weekend.

It appeared that Leeds had time to play the ball, pass it a couple of times (OK probably once) and for McGuire to be thrown around in another 8 second tackle before Silverwood eventually penalised Senior for dissent.

Sometimes players are their own worse enemies.

It is a gamble worth taking in a game that ultimately means F all.
