Cameras everywhere & they can't get the right decisions ,they are even reluctant to show defensive lines on tv because the rules are blatantly ignored.

I think Sita got off lightly...a 20 min ban over 2 weeks.

If by "bent" you mean "corrupt", I don't agree. Certainly there are incosistencies and errors by the Officials, but show me a sport where there isn't.

Course its bent..explain how hicks never sin binned or sent off Tomkin's in gf but hull kr in cup we had 2 sin binned for minor offences...since the gf started at old Trafford we've had 4 teams win it Wigan saints Leeds bradford..Bradford are now out the select club and not replaced..guarantee saints or wigan will win it this year..an outside shot will be Leeds.....happens every year

At full strength it's hard see any team other than Saints and Wire in the GF but Catalan have it I them to turn Saints over.

It would be nice to see Wire v Catalan in Old Trafford to put a new name on the trophy for sure and pee the RFL off again! Plenty cheap tickets.

if they brought back the shoulder charge, but heavily penalised head shots, it would improve things massively.

The game hasn't been the same for me since they banned that.

Same. Protect the head and cheap shots on unprotected players (e.g. cannoball tackles) and leave everything else.

Sorry SAM I disagree, well to a certain extent anyway, I don't think that the game is bent, but, do agree that it lacks consistency and we've had our share of being on the wrong end of some dubious calls. The difference in the treatment of Roby and Hill for example shouldn't even be a topic for debate, same crime = same punishment end of, particularly as it's meted out by a review panel.

In game, heat of the moment decisions like the forward pass for St's first try and Charnley's chalked off effort the following home game are just bad luck, not some anti Wire conspiracy IMO.

Tomkins knew he'd gotten away with one in the GF and I think he should have gone (waits for Westwood/Green reposte from any guests), but, are you saying that had it been against St's or Leeds he'd have walked?

Following your logic Ben Westwood should have been sent off in the GF previous against Wigan.
I generally believe in incompetence over conspiracy. Otherwise Catalans wouldn’t have been to Wembley and we would not have beaten Saints in the semi as a couple of counter examples.
If you genuinely believe our sport is fixed why bother watching it?

Dead right he should of gone...but he committed one bad act Tomkin's did 2 and wasn't sin binned..if you think all is fair then that's up to you....enjoy your rugby in your world.
