Re: REF : Sat Sep 16, 2017 6:16 pm  
Again we list that game!!!! Why do we give so many penalties away in a game nothing at all to do with the ref, but down to the fact we always end up defending inn the back foot so get pinged for holding down offside and high shots are the result of being off balance going backwards in the tackle. Difference between the 2 shoulder charges one was seen as just that,the other was seen as late.
We play silly rugby with needless penalties.
In attack we generally end up being dominated, you will never win a penalty from that!!!!
Saying the ref was inconsistent is clutching at straws for a poor performance

Life is pretty simple: You do stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.

Re: REF : Sat Sep 16, 2017 10:14 pm  
NB, I'll take issue with the Refs are innocent aspect. Nothing specific about today's game as didn't see it. However Yes they give what they see, I just wonder if they are just like the players and switch off sometimes. Also just like players they are inconsistent in interpretation. Quite a few examples recently in terms of lying on and what is acceptable for team A while team B is allowed slightly less leeway. We tend to be team B patrticularly when we do start to dominate.

Obviously this isn't all the time but it happens. And yes sometimes they do guess. In a game I'll make an assertion the Ref is wrong (loudly for effect) but privately I'll admit they are right most of the time. However I do believe we get less of the rub of the green.

In the wider world the linesman (refs assistant) whatever they are called nowadays, fact they use comms rather than signals doesn't help the world. In the good ole days you could see the touchy making their point. Nowadays it's a quiet word in the ear that is either agreed or ignored. Problem is fans can't see it. The immediate impact is the refs team are ignoring things, yet in reality they aren't.

I do think and this is more in the last few years we have been poor in tackle technique and dominating it thus ending up slowing things down. However even when competent (those years are getting distant) we got pinged. We do over the last 20 years in SL (probably more) end up on the wrong end of the count. That has been proven and guess what we've had some experienced teams out there over that time frame who aren't slow to get off etc.. Is it a southern culture at the club or just how we are treated as an outsider? Strangely Catalan suffer similarly.

Oh and suggesting one shoulder charge was seen as that and one wasn't is perhaps a point about interpretation. It doesn't actually matter whether the interpretation is correct but that it is an interpretation. It remains open to debate.

Re: REF : Sun Sep 17, 2017 10:35 am  
SR can't disagree with any of yr points. Late hit on a player it's not interpretation it's a judgement call. In the refs view could the player have pulled out, in child's view the second one he could have hence it being seen as late. Without doubt both were shoulder charges.
Comms actually makes it easier for the team, ref can keep his eyes on play rather than having to look towards his touchline for the signal.
And actually I am the same as you, I do shout encouragement to the ref when I am a fan, obviously when I am somewhere that no one knows me

The difference between comms and signals, is if the TJ calls fwd pass and the ref is happy it wasn't, it just gives spectators ammunition to abuse the TJ

I look forward to seeing how Toronto are refereed next season. They are intentionally a physical team. They use all the tricks both fair and unfair. Look at Jack Bussey, what a dirty player he has been become. The pressure will been the referees to perform. Toronto cannot be allowed to get away with things that others are not.

Not sure why you think they would, Leigh used to get pinged a fair bit when they tried it, there first real go at promotion backfired because rowley tried the dirty tactics, the SL teams just played rugby and took the penalties they gave away. The year they got promoted they cleaned up there game.

There is a massive difference with a all carrier leading with a raised elbow, and the walmsley arm contacting the head of a tackler.
