Agree Bulliac. I feel empty at our performance and our club.



On the officials i'm raging. Refereeing is a hard job and while at the game i always get frustrated when calls go against us, I try and avoid blaming referees as it is an impossible job and mistakes and missing knock-ons happen. Without ref's we have no game.



However, yesterday i was livid, as you say by the officials allowing absolute thuggery to go unpunished. It was a disgrace. It was ugly to watch. Even if we had have won, i almost fell out with RL with what was allowed to go on. That's not the tough sport i've grown up watching. It was cowardice thuggery and reminded me of watching the Queens RL club in an amateur game. The linesman who apparently didn't see Keyes being knocked unconscious 2m from him shouldn't be allowed near a rugby field again. He thought it was rather funny though almost trying to play pantomime villian to the rightly furious fans. Him smirking while Keyes was flat out i'll never forget. The next incident was just as bad if not worse. Absolute no need for it. Dangerous play and totally unnecessary launching Thomas into the railings. Again he knew what he was doing. 2 sin-bins and then the ref gives a drop out















Yet 2 plays earlier where there was a bit of pushing and shoving happened when Hallas's arm was trapped by Gareth Moore, and gave a penalty.



That is the situation to say, "just get on with it" not when someones being smashed into the railings and a mass brawl erupts. The safety of the players was compromised yesterday by the tactics Dewsbury did and what the officials willfully allowed to happen. They will be absolute silence from the powers that be (see the no action from the Rochdale Oldham game) So disappointed the tactics Dewsbury did yesterday, but hey it worked.

Whilst not condoning thuggery........... well yes I am. I am sick of being on the wrong end of these thuggish assaults by opposition teams over the last three years. Until we learn to get our 'retribution' in first we will never get out of this league. It is not a place where you will get out purely on superior talent (and yes I do realise that at the moment we are scarce on talent but in this division you desperately need one or two enforcers).

We did try a couple of times tbf, were just not very good at it! The drop out from the Thomas crash barrier incident was orchestrated to drop on a dews player with four or five of our guys arriving at speed and ahead of the ball with the intention of smashing into the dews players and it was almost another dust up, trouble is we got pinged for a shoulder charge

I'll just put it on the list of things we are cr4p at then.

at least we're good at filling that list!

I said "....people like Petit..."

i.e. Administrators, as in Admin #4 etc.

Uttery irrelevent to us now but i'm assuming the shoulder is the hit on Keyes that the ref and linesman thought was ok.

Oh and Magrin's up for punching.

Walshaw 'no further action'; Magrin '3 match ban'



You just know that's what's gonna happen

[urlhttp://www.rugby-league.com/the_rfl/disciplinary[/url There's also 2 no charges (Thomas and Morton) which both seem to be inconclusive evidence, which shows it just depends on which way the camera is pointing at the time as to who's charged. I might have to watch the match now to see if it's just the RFL's video.

'Joe' Magrin charged....



Can we make a case of the wrong man being charged. A criminal or civil case could easily be thrown out of Court if the wrong Defendant had been charged (I'm not suggesting this as a serious defence but we need all the help we can get!!!)

Frustrating regarding the disciplinary. I know people always moan about it and it is difficult as people have different opinions of how long people should be banned. But IMO the RFL and referees are failing in their care for player welfare and protecting them.



FWIW - The grade B ban for Margrin and Ollett are right as they both threw aggressive punches in the melee. But how they think its the same seriousness as Walshaws challenge is beyond me. Shoulder charge to the head in which our half back had to leave the game concussed and also misses this week. So in effect 1 1/2 matches. Walshaw will probably get a game. Where's the justice or deterrent? How can the RFL think a 1-2 game ban is acceptable for knocking someone unconscious who can't play a week later. Half backs should be protected.



Also it's farcical the Morton incident hasn't been charged either. Again dangerous play and the "video evidence is not conclusive" is a load of rubbish. What about the referee and Linesman view of the incident?

From the accounts of people who were at the game, it's been suggested that Ray Charles would have seen more than the ref and linesman. Despite the handicaps of being both blind and dead.
