Stop your playground posing Maurice, it is repetitive nonsense. Referees are in turn totally crap or excellent and all points in between, none of them are bent.

If Hampsire catches the ball like he should, the referee doesn't even come into the equation.

I actually went Maurice and we blew it of our own accord - Our kicking game was absolutely dreadful second half. We may as just passed it straight in to Jones-Bishop's bread basket as that is where each kick landed.

The way the ref manages certain areas will dictate the outcome of many games, if he is consistent then errors are human.

The few calls a ref makes in terms of influencing moments in a game pale into insignificance in comparison to a player running a line, picking a pass, making a brake l, grounding a ball, kicking a ball, dropping a goal, dropping a ball, passing forward, not passing at all, missing a tackle, taking a dummy, slipping over, getting injured, fatigue, losing ones temper, getting put in the sin bin.....

Do you get the point? Ref tiny tiny input! 34 players bloody huge input into a result.

Stop pontificating from the moral high ground you reside Reffy, did you go? He took Leigh back farther all night, that is not by accident its by choice/deliberate. I can handle mistakes as they make calls as they see it as it happens, they choose how they implement the 10m or allow the ptb to be. Bent? Incapable of doing the job? Agenda? What makes a ref choose to do that?
One thing is for certain we are not getting the rub and its not evening itself up so far. Should we have won - certainly should, would we have won with Josh on when we had some ball on their line eventually in the 2nd half - probably. Did we play some dumb RL second half - certainly did.
A general observation of todays refs is that they are young and inexperienced - the experience decided to leave for some reason.
I will say it again give me the whistle tomorrow for Leigh v NRL table toppers and I will guarantee a Leigh win, that is how much these guys control the outcome of games. Consistency is needed.

If a team was asked to play every game uphill and against the wind does that give the equally matched opponents an advantage - do you get the point now?? I don't want to notice the ref, the best games you never do. All I would ever ask is consistency to allow the best team on the day to win ie the one doing or not doing what you state above. Last night that was not the case and I will accept that every penalty against us was correct in that statement.

The images emerging on social media of Wakefield last try that was controversialy given don't help the cause of the Ref, seems another error.
Pity the video ref didn't have the same angle via the SKY cameras.

to be fair it would have been a penalty try anyway because he was tackled in the air in the act of scoring the try.

He was nowhere near the line when he was tackled in the air, ie he was not in the act of scoring.

A try shy in the end..Not sure what was wrong with Hampshire's pass to Dawson..Anyhow regroup go again.

It was 5 metres forward, that's what was wrong with it!
