Does any one else think that if your not a so called top four side you have virtually no chance of winning anything fri was offiated awfull Leeds had it all there own way I know we didn't play that well but they got everthing there own way it was embarrassing

utter garbage, there were 50/50 decisions for both sides.

First time I've seen a ball steal given in a one on one tackle. I think that level of competence is fairly indicative of what goes on week to week.

Did you see the disallowed try by the video ref in the Warrington game. The rules state if it's a try on the field there has to be conclusive proof for it to be overturned. Penny's hand appeared to push the ball backwards but the video ref starts talking about lines in the grass, the guy had jumped three feet in the air. They can't give forward passes from the video ref because the camara angle, so this is the same thing and against a decision given on the field.

They don't seem to have a clue

This is the first time I have ever posted, but 1865 really needs to take his or her head out of the sand, unless it was a wind up. The quality of officials in rugby league is appalling and I believe is one of the main reasons that gates in the sport is declining. I have been a season pass holder for many years but I am not now, not because I'm not happy with the coach or the team, but because I'm sick of watching officials having too big an influence on the scores. I've just watched the Staines v Widnes match and felt tHat a very poor dissuasion by the ref when Widnes was winning changed the result. By the way I was at the match on Friday night against Leeds, and I left feeling how bad do you need to be to be the worst ref in rugby league, but Child's manages it every time.

Glad some one agreed with me happened again today awfull by hicks whose another who can't hold a whistle without blowing it all we want is a level playing field and if we lose we lose by our own mistakes not a dodgy referee #coyh

Hardakers knock on was unbelievable especially as the touch judge was close enough to touch the ball ,

Honest question here ... Wtf do touch judges do apart from ball or feet in touch ?

Like to know what Pearson/Radford and players think knowing they ain't going to win no matter what they do maybe that's why all these players go to these top four clubs knowing it's the only way of getting there hands on some silverware

James Child was really poor on Friday.



It's hard not to bias towards your own team, but he killed the game early on for me. Leeds were not getting back the 10, Ablett was constantly stood in front of him at play of the ball. The crowd starting getting on his back and sure enough he then goes and gives FC offside?!



It does make you wonder....

I've amended the name of the poster you referred to as the real 1865 is a regular and valuable poster on this forum. The guy you're referring to is an obvious troll and in all probability is a Dobbins fan. He's best ignored I think.

Definitely true, there's a hidden agenda in the game, the so-called big teams are untouchable.

My apologies to the real 1865, but I did wonder if it was a wind up, as i put in the first sentence of my post. But I do believe if the rugby league don't do anything about the problem with the officials they will kill the game.
