Exactly, the way that bloke treats us is shocking. There are good refs and bad refs , but Kendall has an agenda.

“Maybe what you will see is me step out of this charade and set up a proper Super League called Ultimate Rugby, with proper rugby players, who work with each other which is not decided by referees and is decided by the athletes.”
I understand his frustration but does this make any sense at all??

No.....every sporting fixture is decided by the referee

Not according to PT and his acolytes he hasn't. He just doesn't know the rules of the game well enough they say. I'll go along with Mr Beaumont on this one.

I remember at their first game of the season, the cameras showed Robert Hicks having a drink in the box with Beaumont (Hicks is possibly a Leigh fan). Perhaps he thought he had everyone in his thrall more than they are.

He had a dummy spit. I'm sure he regretted it in the morning. They got promoted. His team has won the Challenge Cup and in the play-offs. A dream season.

Perhaps a sport that isn't decided by big money backers is fairer ....

Re: OT- Derek Beaumont statement : Thu Sep 28, 2023 11:56 am  

I don't think he will have regretted it for one moment. Personally think he likes the attention and comes across as a bit of a wide boy in my eyes. Yes decision may have gone against them but that happens every week in sport and sport is all about how to win and lose in the same manner. There are issues in all sport now with video evidence ie var, hawkeye and don't trust either of them either but that's what is and everyone as to abide them and accept.

There is no problem with the video part of the video ref. It's the ref part. Eg the ridiculous decision to disallow our try for offside against cas, or the equally ridiculous decision to allow their first try when he clearly lost the ball.
