Problem I have with Houghton is he's so limited

People bang on about his tackling cause he doesn't do hardly anything else of any note

10 metre scoots when defence is on the backfoot isn't good enough for top level rugby hence why he hasn't played international

Be interesting to see the transcript. I am sure the club have requested the audio from the referee mic

Common sense regarding Fash's tackle, no mention of Batchelors clear shoulder charge...

And how about Walmsleys knees on Trueman?

Just shows that they both talk absolute poop, I said at the time you only have to look at Fash to see both his arms are trapped in between his body and Percivals, even Percival had hold of Fash so how any of those eejits on the BBC couldn't see that just shows they lack any credence and ability to be impartial.

Think it’s a vicious cycle with refs. The more they face dissent and consequence, the harder recruitment and retention gets, and the standard drops even lower. We really are in a sorry state when Thaler is the best ref now.
