The ref that sent a Saints player off on the last 10?

Are you saying that was a 50/50?

Some dubious calls but the ref was not the reason we lost even if it is hard to take. The reason we lost was giving Saints a 12 point head start in 20 minutes before we started to compete. For the last hour we matched them.

He didn’t have any choice. That was hardly a brave call from the ref. He did the bare minimum.

What he did do though, was blow up against us at every single opportunity. He was looking for penalty’s towards the end there.

Are you saying we didn't try? How did we get to golden point against a decent side without trying? You read some odd stuff on here.

In both games we dropped too much ball. Questioning the effort is silly.

You thought we played with the same intensity last week against injury hit salford as we did in the second half against the champions?

He sin-binned a player for denying a clear try scoring opportunity with 3 mins to go. Hardly a major punishment.

No clear professional foul.

Just dont like all this attention on a few dodgy ref calls, its starting to sound like "we would have won with a fair ref" nonsense.

Blaming the ref instead of recognising and acknowledging our culpability in our 12th defeat in 15 games is futile.

I didn’t say that though, I said he stopped any chance we had of coming back. Which he clearly did.

No one is saying we would have won… or were the better side.

What did you want him to do, time machine so we could benefit the full 10 mins?
