Except that this was a televised game and he could not possibly have seen clearly what happened so should have asked the VR to confirm. Likewise with the Rankin incident - he should have allowed Rankin to score and then asked the VR to check how the ball came loose. These are simple matters of competence - or more correctly, incompetence.

As for the rest of the game - I have rarely seen the PTB policed so badly nor the 10 metres marked so poorly. He was diabolical on the fundamentals of refereeing a game of RL. One of the worst overall performances I've seen for quite a while.

Regarding the Rankin non try,i feel certain players like Sinfield,Tomkin and Briers would have been in the refs face so much to go to the big screen he would have bowed to their wishes which is why they do it(not that its right)maybe we need to more forceful in this regard.

The only thing Wells got wrong was saying we wouldn't trouble Sts.....didn't he see the score from Monday.

Oh - and anyone who thinks that Silverwood was equally bad for both sides is free to point out a try that Widnes had incorrectly chalked off or one that we had incorrectly allowed.

Oh dear another one missing the point like staffs.
I've not struggled to accept anything here.
I'm pleased we won glad we won would like to make top 8 just because I don't rate Radford it doesn't take away me wanting us to win at all times and never in this thread have I mentioned anything negative regarding our team or coach.
Thought this was a discussion on punditry and ref performance which I have commented on before you start throwing accusations at me which are so wide of the mark Mr know it all

Not sure who said it but the phrase "lies, damn lies and statistics"

It was the 70th minute on Friday against Widnes before we off loaded from the tackle.

We play like the Huddersfield team of the early 2000's when Mal Reilly was in charge. They were bottom of the league but had the least handling errors of any team. The reason was that any player knocking on more than twice in a game was dropped. Hence, they didn't pass.

Point being we are not the worst at off loads nor are we the best. We are about average.
