i think lately its the touch judges that are having more of an influence on the match if you take saints last game they got given 2 tries and could of potentially got points through 2 terrible touch judge calls, and there have been a good few this year

As predicted, a disgrace of an appointment by saints fan ganson, any chance we had has now gone, don't tell me the games not bent.

The game is not bent you are paranoid

and your as green as they come

No just think conspiracy theories like this are stupid, Sky/rfl are pro Saints lol last season they kept calling saints Wigan on their broadcasts and the broadcast schedule conspiracy this year has already proved to be flawed since there's not much difference between the clubs.
Sit there with your little tin foil hat thinking everyone is out to get us, Stevo who is a dick had the best reply "I'm not biased I hate everyone" (words to that effect anyway)

Well you stick to watching sky this thread is about the appointment of officials . why appoint bentam to this game . You come on here after the match and tell me he's reffed it fairly.

I'll be at the match then straight to Hong Sing to celebrate surrounded by crying saints fans

I think you might be right!! I fancy us!!

[TrueBlueWarrior]

Well I did fancy us but now it's a tall order.

If anything I get the feeling BENTham will favour us after the farcical GF performance!!

Who would we have preferred?

Can see much difference in the experienced refs so the only major difference would be to get one of the younger ones.

[Wandering Warrior]

Is Jon Wilkin the on field assistant ref?

Thaler maybe. He doesn't seem to be giving as many penalties at the ruck as some of the others. That could suit us.

But I've said it before, there is no inherent bias in the Super League referees. You look at any forum for any team and it will read like all the refs are biased against their side. It's the lot of being a fan.
