KARL KIRKPATRICK!!!!!!!

Do you think he has a hard day at work on a Friday because this game and the one against Les Catalans were both relatively poor performances. I think he plays better of a weekend when he's not been at work all day.

That is a very interesting question. Has KK got a very stressful job? Does he take it out on the teams that he referees on a Friday? On tonight's display, he must do.

Rob I really fear for Huddersfield. On a dry wide pitch their compressed sliding defence could get ripped to shreds by Saints.

I think he's an accounts manager at a bank.

Oh and rob yep your right mate. I never like going out on a limb until I see the incident again and sometimes it's hard because like most I sometimes see what I want to believe.

I don't think he takes it out on teams... I thought he looked tired and if anything missed things he should have got.

[cpwigan]

I think its Ganson that is the account manager. Is KK not a milk man?

[turf]

He'd probably miss half of the houses that he supposed to deliver milk to!!!!!!!!!!

Atleast you admit it, most don't.

Sharp thinks Hudds were hard done too

If a decent referee had been officiating his players would have seen the sin bin

Unbelievable. Just got back and read the Sporting Life after match comments and Sharp is taking the piss. No credibility saying that.

In the first half Hudds gave penalty after penalty away for lying on or interfering at the play the ball. Instead of sin-binning a player on about the third or fourth time in quick succession they did this he just gives another penalty.

The message to the Hudds players was simple. They could spoil the play by giving penalties away and not get sin binned. And they did.

It set the whole tone of the game and ruined it. It was already going to be a bit of a squalid battle given the conditions but he just made it worse.

It is one of the worst refereeing displays I have seen in a long long time.

Normally we are going on about one crucial decision (like at the Wakey game) but this is different. This was incompetence from start to finish.

Get rid and get rid now.

And as for Hudds well I wanted Wakey to go down but at least they can play a decent game of RL at times. That lot just adopt spoiling tactics and ruin the spectacle. Crikey I think even Kevin Brown is too goods for them.
