....at every game.

Laat night confirmed for me that without video refs at games, our officials do not get it right,

Which try do you (not) think should have been given?

(I agree with the idea btw just wondering)

I saw a knock on in the build up to KR first try and the second which was a fantastic move and effort looked to be in touich and a double movement.

We also had one disallowed. Why?

Crossing wasn't it?

I usually stay away from ref bashing but Smith last night was a joke. Poor 10,missed so much around the PTB it was untrue.


Taking nothing away from KR they did a good job. Briscoe was class and Azuie(sp) was a real handful!

Correct Dave he was bad, and the two players picked out were a handful Aziuze looked to have slimmed right down.

I think it were crossing as you say altho the play was too fast for me to see it properly lol with the dummy runners.

Hull KR as i've said before are my darkhorses for the comp, good backs, to very good second rowers in Newton and Galea who I think are under rated and good half backs.

For what its worth I enjoyed the game more than a 50 nil drubbing to the S

Strange but true.

Video Refs must be brought in to every game and each club should pay for the technology. Possibly the RFL could give an interest free loan to the clubs to purchase it and it is paid off over the 3yr period of the licence, if any club is not given a licence at the end the 3yrs the club coming up purchases that technology off them for the price paid and again the RFL loan the money to that club on a 3yr deal??

The Aussies have done it for years and are still introducing two on pitch refs which show's its still not perfect but it is a step in the right direction!

As for last nights game, only saw one of the tries close up but seemed to be fine from where I was standing! There again I would say that!!!

The first pass from Wheeler (I think) to Armstrong was a mile forward - I would have loved it to stand but have no issues with it being wiped out

Thats the way I saw it too.

Couldn't really understand all the booing of the ref at the end.

The decision on the try was right, and the penalty Graham gave away was right.
He seemed to allow KR to hold down a lot but chances are we were doing the same.

It would have been handy to see a re-run of Fox's try but it looked a fair call.

There may be the chance to see any incidents in the SL Show or on Sky.

With regard to losing asnd enjoying the game , the CC tie between the two sides last season was top draw - though the defeat did take a lot out of Rovers and the form dipped after that.

The pnealty for Longy running round the back of Wheeler i think was abit on the harsh side but he was poor.

That 10 metres jogging back, two steps forward is seemingly the way Mr Smith likes to give the defending team 10 metres.

After Harlequins first try tonight can we trust video refs to come up with the right decision.

We''l set them off, while it was Wigan.

I think Rovers possibly had the 'rub of the green' quite apart from any refereeing decisions.

Just before half time Wilkin made an intercept but couldn't hold on to the ball. He would have had a walk in under the posts and it would have been 18-6 at half time. No way back from there me thinks.

If we'd had the same kind of fortune last year at Knowsley Road, we might have lost by only 30 instead of 40. Two and a half years ago we lost a cup semi against Saints 50-0.

This time we were good enough to make our fortune count. We're happy.

Have to say I was VERY impressed with the HKR support, I counted 10 coaches and 1 double decker. Had good banter after the game.
Well done, deserved win, we need to be more clinical.

I was stood directly infront of the disallowed Wellens (?) try, and this one Saints went insane when it wasn't given. I thought and still think it was a 100% try, although I couldn't see if a pass was forward, which is what it was ruled out for.

The penalty that gave us the two points was correct.

Another incident which caught my eye was when Briscoe knocked the ball dead, yet the ref gave it as a 20m metre. I was directly infront of it, and saw Briscoe touch it. Also, in the last few minutes, with that short kick off, a Saints player touched the ball last, yet Smith gave you a scrum.

Overall, Smith is not fit to referee a game, and tonight definitely proves it. We need younger, faster refs, not relics like Smith, Silverwood and Alibert (who was shattered after 15 minutes tonight).

Watching the superleague show, it looks like Fox we deffo over the touchline before he grounded the ball.

Mind you though my Video ref argument was blown out of the water after the quins Wigan game...

That was the correct decision. What people moan at is the 100 other times that markers are not square but never get penalised. Obviously refs cant see everything but they are usually consistant with what they do see. Without detracting anything from Rovers' win Smiths decisions were all over the place.

The first Leeds try tonight was a disgrace. Why have VRs when they cant get the basics right.

Listened to match on the Radio (couldn't afford to go

) the commentators said it was a double movement from KR, and that the touch judge disallowed it, but was overuled by the clown in the middle.

It was Ganson, what do you expect!
