Tough ask to start with Salford don't give up, made even more difficult with having the worst referee in super league, hopefully he gets a flat tyre and the reserve ref takes over

Not sure on worst ref but I think the all the refs have different styles of how the ref games and what they look for.

Smith like last weekend seems to have little patience around the play ball offences and can be quick off the mark to hand out 6 agains and penalties.

In last weeks game he seemed early on to penalise offsides then switch his focus to offences at the play of ball.

I think we just need to be aware of what each ref seems to focus on and try and play accordingly.

If we go to Salford with the same attitude as the Hull and Warrington games we have a real shot of getting the 2 points.

No Jack Smith is atrociously bad

I have noticed one thing about Salford is their penchant for trying the intercept which Wigan used to their advantage.

Take your point, but this ref has had his fair share on television this season and he's made quite a few noticeable howlers despite the technology available and protestations from multiple players in the teams he's upset, I think it was after one season that he retired from refereeing in SL and ran the lines for a couple of seasons because of the abuse he and his family were receiving which isn't good we know, making this his come back season.

Sorry to hear that as nobody would condone that sort of behaviour. Good for him though making a comeback. I haven’t seen many so can’t comment much. He seems hits overzealous with the penalties and six agains but if we play well it shouldn’t matter and the result will work itself out.

Wasn't it this herbert who wouldn't go to to the screen when we should have had a blatant penalty try against Wire? He's gash
