The RFL need to have a complete rethink on the way the game is going, it is becoming a complete joke.
I don't mind that bloke who did the Leeds/Wire game, he's not bad.
Liam Moore a Wigan lad & fan 😊
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.

that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

neither did the saints players twice after that and thats just what I saw on camera, they didnt get binned, they didnt even get penalised

KPP's yellow was certainly very harsh, but it seemed to me it was more on the say-so of the VR? But there were plenty more painful errors in his performance.
did Powell not get it done to him v Wire? no penalty

I hate to bring it up, but while the standard of refereeing and the general personalities of referees seems to be going down the pan, just compare them to refs in union. The vast majority of them come across as very likeable blokes, always seem to have time to chat to the players and explain their decisions yet dont completely seem to want the focus on them.

I’m friends with a couple of our referees & believe it or not they are very likeable & quite funny 😊

Refs are human,they will make errors we all do in life for all those that moan get out there and do a course I’m sure you’d see that game very differently.

The refs aren't the problem. They are just enforcing policies that you don't agree with as well as they can.
You need to complain about the policies and how they are being created if you want things to change, inidivudal refs aren't the main issue.
