Referee for Saturday

[Firestarter]

Just seen footage of the goalkick that never was.Connor missed 100%.How can two linesmen get this so wrong? Totally unprofessional

I don't blame the ref for the defeat or for any of our losses this season but the way our games are reffed has confused/concerned me for a few seasons. Dominant teams usually win penalty counts but we very rarely do. A startling stat I posted on RLFans is the amount of penalties each team in the top 5 have received this season, in their 5 games. They are-

Saints 33
Leigh 30
HKR 29
Hull 24
Wigan 8

That is absolutely nuts. We've had some big wins, where teams have been on the back foot and we're still way behind any of the teams. It can't be a coincidence that every team have their best disciplinary performance every time they play Wigan! Do we not play for them enough ala Walmsley? Do us as fans not scream enough for them, ala Leeds last night? Are there too many Wigan refs, not wanting to look biased? I don't have an answer but it doesn't feel right at all. Surely somebody at the club is on to it and looking for answers.

Just thinking were those stats can be found, many thanks!

Agree with your conclusion, I'll add a different perspective - a lot of fans of other clubs will say we are dirty or cynical but that would only affect the number of penalties we give away (and I'll bet we are near the top of that stat) not how many we get!

I'm a saddo and totted up the received penalties from the individual game stats on the superleague site. Our discipline has actually been ok but the oppositions is super human!

Leigh gave us one penalty on opening night. They've given away 23 in the other 4 games they've played.

Huddersfield didn't get penalised at all in our game but gave given away 22 in their other 4 fixtures.

It's enough to give you a complex!

There is a consistency of performance by the referees. I do hope our club are requesting a thorough explanation of this.

You need to watch it again, it clearly is a goal.

I saw 2 still pics that were inconclusive but the video i watched clearly shows it missed

I would like to see the 6 again stats but as far as I am aware no one records them. I think they should be published along with the rest of the OPTA stats.

You can see the ball go between the sticks.

Did the linesmen actually look up?

Yep!

https://www.superleague.co.uk/stats/club-stats is also out there, I read it as we have given 16 pens away?

Wigan Warriors 16
Leeds Rhinos 17
Warrington Wolves 20
Hull KR 22
