Re: Squad for Leigh

Thought everyone played well. Only minor quibbles is that Leeming is excellent in attack - less so in defence. Keighran still leaps out of the line with mixed results and Chan, who I assume was keen to impress, needs to tighten up his discipline . If it was a straight choice between Hill and Byrne, ...

Re: Referee for Thursday

Sadly, it came to pass. The only word to describe him (printable) is random. An early penalty for markers not standing square and then he forgot about it for most of the game. He did get Mago not playing the ball correctly right. Faz as a dummy runner collides (or is collided with) and it's a penalt...

You really needed to post a link to that 😊
According to BBC (not necessarily true then!) - appeal was refused but no further punishment.

Re: Referee for Thursday

He refereed Warrington v Cats last week and gave the worst reffing display of the season. Cats scored 3 tries at the start and Smith then decided to even things up and brought Warrington back into the match by half-time. As the second half began, Micky Mac took it on himself to query every decision ...

Re: Derby Day!

Scruffy match where, I'm assuming, neither side wanted to lose and it was a bit of a stalemate. Field saved us a try and cost us a try - French created a try out of nothing but let Walsmsley make his crucial run. I didn't think the game was reffed that badly - both sides were to blame for the mess a...

Re: Wigan Warriors: Player ratings with three above the rest in 'below best' Challenge Cup performance

It's his decision-making that stopped him being a real star of SL. He tends to pause when attacking as well which always kills moves.

Re: Cup tie

Agree about Mark Chapman - he's just good at everything he does. The rest of the coverage is awful (assuming there is any coverage) - Robby Hunter-Paul pointlessly running up and down the pitch while the players do their pre-match stuff and Johnathan Davies, so far past his sell-by date that it's em...

Re: Cup tie

How the authorities care about our game Part 1. The BBC can't be bothered to show any matches on their main channels and relegate one match to the 'red-button' with limited graphics, no clock-stopping so no viewer has any idea of the time left and a producer who looks to have been parachuted in from...

Re: Referee for Friday Challenge Cup

If a side gives away lots of penalties and 'six-agains' - the question needs to be asked if it happens every game. If it doesn't, then you look for the reasons in particular matches and sadly, the answer seems to be this referee. Other refs don't perform like this and the games flow. He looks out of...

Unless they're rear-mounted like England football fans.
