Better him than many others.
I hope we realise that Kendall is reffing to the new instructions that all refs seem to have i.e. more 'wrestling' is allowed on the ground during the tackle and that the PTB is going to be much slower.
No point in our players getting upset on the field (fans are a different matter) - it seems to be the way that those in charge want the game to progress. Personally, I think it makes the game much worse and lets not-so-good players drag better ones down to their level.
At least we know what to expect in that respect.
I hope we're prepared for a much better Salford side this time.

Ben Thaler & Robert Hicks. Liam Moore & Jack Smith but they are both Wiganers & tend to try too hard to not show bias!

If it was last season, I would have gone for Kendall and Thaler (on the pitch not on the video) but this season is tricky because every match is a slog with long lying-on and flops seemingly being OK and you tend to notice the really bad refs and not the good ones, which is a shame for the game.

I struggle to determine which ref i believe is the best, certainly wasn't the ref last night.
interestingly id say the best ref is the ref that isn't really noticed, which could be a reason as to why when they have a good performance it isn't as obvious as a bad performance.

I said exactly the same last night. Thought also he was very lenient with Salford being offside, & I truly mean offside
yet he pounced on us!
We say there is no consistency between referees, sometimes the referee is consistent in a game!
