So far (65 mins) the ref (or should I say chef?) is guilty of a bit of home cooking. Almost feel sorry for Saints.

Robbed. Scored a try not given. Knock on given as a try against. The RFL is not fit for purpose.

To not give that as a try despite what the ref said on field is preposterous. Haven't seen the other contentious call but I am amazed at the standard of refereeing recently.

Either make a try / no try decision on field and stick with it or let video ref decide.
The current system of forcing the video refs hand is making a mockery of the game.

Interesting how they ignore the VR when it suits but throw anything at the VR in the hope they can prevent a try. Sport is fairly dirty these days.

I've always thought Thaler was pretty fair but the decisions from him and his line judges were unbelievable tonight

On top of all that Daryl Clarke should get an academy award for his acting - last 3 wire games I've seen he's been a real conman and doesn't need to be as he's a decent enough player without the continual attempts to get penalties

The whole match official department needs a clear out , blimey even Cummins was slating them ! I do fear what will happen tomorrow after that.
When will these chairmen listen to the fans and get something done
