Rob your intelligent too, especially for a referee. However, some points to consider.

You say sin bin for a late challenge, send off for a high late challenge. Now IMO AK did not have to be Sherlock Holmes to realise that Thorman was concussed and therefore must have taken a blow to the head. Elementary my dear Robjoenz

You say, the referee cannot watch everything at the same time. I concur. However, I like all my fellow Sgt Major Clays are regularly told officials are a team and wired for sound. Surely the touchie should keep an eye on the kicker and he should inform the referee as to what happened. Teamwork Rob even better we now pay for fulltime video referees. Are you telling us mere Clays that in the time it takes play to stop, the referee to check the injured player and call the culprit that Herquel Ganson cannot say ASHLEEE HE HIT HIM ONT HEAD or JUST LATE OUR ASHLEE.

Surely all this could have been worked out already given they have nothing else to do with their time anymore.

Rob, if I see somebody challenging a kicker I want to see his hands up in the air for an attempt to charge down the ball. That is a legitimate attempt to challenge a kicker.

Wilkin braced himself and cocked his arm and threw his shoulder. That should have been seen by the linesman or video referee.

Let the referee look at watching offside chasers and the kick return. Delegate the tasks. I should not be telling you how to do this. Cummings gets paid to do it.

If you see someone challenging a kicker it's a penalty. You cannot challenge a man without the ball.

As for the second part, you clearly have slower motion replays in your mind than Sky have. You can only go with what you see, you can't join the dots to give an embellished view.

Cummings has told all the officials, however, things still get missed. The aim is obviously to spot everything but you can't always.

Rob i can see your point of view about only giving what you can see and that is fair enough. What worries me is the damage that can be done when attacking a player in the process of kicking the ball his focus is the ball not the impact and he needs to be afforded more protection. If a kicker in our sport goes down with injuries to the head after impact it isnt supposition to work out the cause.
I understand you cant see everything possibly due to the inability of refs over the years to solve this problem and the damage it could cause while the injury is being accessed the video ref should replay it or review it and pass the information back down.

Robjoenz that was your worst post mate. You cannot see what was wrong. Huddersfield lost a playmaker in Thorman for the remainder of the match. Saints lost a player for 10 minutes. The game was close. Saints gained an advantage from foul play once the 10 minutes elapsed. Huddersfield were disadvantaged. It is fair to say that by not sending Wilkin off, AK influenced the result towards Saints, not deliberately. Fould play is better punished in the match it takes place and to the benefit/cost of the teams involved.
