Saints V Bulls

Thought Bulls were faves after 10 mins but Stains obliterated them after that.

4 defeats on the trot, Macca worried about his job then. Perhaps a return to the 'pharm? Seriously though, Saints were good when they woke up but they were helped a few times by mr mirfield. Its about time they did something about all the offsides both given and not, especially the farce from within 10 mts from the line, which team has all 22 legs (excluding mrkrs) behind the line. Typical example tonight, saints give a penalty for feet over line, and from the tap nearly everyone in same position yet nothing. once again total inconsistancy from ref, same for forward passes, numerous visible forward passes and only one given.

There is no doubt that the standard of reffing is the worst aspect of League, there are some other very poor ones but reffing takes the cigar, To talk about consistency is a waste of time cause there is none, I dont personally think reffs have favorite teams, or decide they are going to penalise any special team, Myself i think they are directed to clamp down on certain things and consequently they miss a lot of other things.
Last night i thought Saints were offside as much as Bradford, just not as far offside as the Bulls but to me offside is offside whether its a 1 foot or 3 yards, It's like Phil Clark claiming that forward passes should be let go because the move deserved a try, That's rubbish, and who decides what deserves a try and what doesn't. Next thing you know we are going to be judging Knock-on's on their merits.
I dont expect to see any changes for the better, Cummins himself was one of the poorest reffs there was, and he regularly defends ludicrous decisions by the likes of Klein and Ganson, Half of the problem with some of the reffs is that they have got the idea that they are the stars of the show, and the touch judges may as well be privet bushes for what use most of them are with regards to forward passes,which in some games is reaching epidemic numbers. The best standard of reffing in any sport that i know is Gridiron, they miss nothing and i wonder if League will ever go down that route, I wouldn't think so because of the cost, but It's certainly time something changed

Top post Bo!

to be honest Bo --cant agree with you !!

I have just watched the Leeds/ harlequins match and I think that the refereeing of Klein was consistent with that witnessed in last night`s match - both on Sky for all posters to see

For me -you couldnt really pick which was the better of the two!!


.......................they were both pretty equal.................








equally ........................garbage!!

Yeah Klein is one of the worst there is for wanting to be the centre of everything, and he makes some of the biggest blunders, In tonight's game he gave a disgraceful decision against Quins for ball stealing that cost them a try. I will never trust the guy again after what he did at Cardiff and despite Ganson apologizing i have never seen anything from Klein, There was never a case for saying he made a mistake, or he had to make a instant decision, He had all the time in the world and he made a decision (that he broke the rules to give ) that was seen by hundreds of thousands of people to be wrong, Personally i wouldn't have him on the field again,

Correct mate, If that were a ball steal, I WILL bare my bare arris on the old Town Hall steps...

I saw that and it could have cost Quins the game (diabolical). What beats me is why the touchjudge did not intervene and put Klein right, as it is possible from Klein`s angle it may have looked like a strip. But as you say after Cardiff he should have been demoted.

And these penalties when the play is about a metre from the try line are a joke. The ref might pull a team up a couple of times and the third attempt the players have still got their feet over the line but he lets it go. This rule wants enforcing (either a constant stream of penalties or even a sin-binning until players conform) or dropping for the sake of continuity.
