Decent enough result yesterday we made slightly heavy weather of it, too many pens given away ( some of which were down to refs interpretation) but got the result in the end.
It wasn’t utterly convincing but you have to remember we had Souter, Doro, Baldwinson, Blackmore, and Holmes missing from the line up, 2 new faces that won’t have trained much 2 HiA’s during the game, so no little disruption.
Wakefield next up but they hardly annihilated Barrow at home.

What does it say?

I really find that classless from Swinton.
1st try, you can't even see the ball so not sure how you can portray it as the ref got it wrong.

On the Davies shot, any club trying to get another player banned via trial by social media is scraping the barrel. Race to the bottom if we start doing that as a sport.

Didn't see anything wrong with the second Roby try and can understand the frustration. But Swinton were losing from the fifth minute until the end of the game. The ref wasn't why they lost. But they've got the reaction they wanted from the brain dead on twitter "Swinton were robbed" etc

The fact a clubs taken time and effort to create a video of refereeing decisions they feel went against them is poor and the RFL should come down hard on that.

I can't find the tweet, have they shivered?

Ha ha looks like they’ve taken it down.

I saw it in time. Sam Hallas had answered saying he knew it wasn’t a try as he had the best view, underneath Roby holding the ball off the ground!!

Gledhill said somewhere that Dec refused to blame the ref, saying Swinton had only themselves to blame as they only completed at about 62%.

2match ban for JD. Contact with the head (with the side of his own head)

Saw a video of the tackle and it didn't look great, can't really have any complaints with the ban.

He did after the game and Roby said he was held up but was adamant that he grounded his kick through.

A bit of good news, apparently one game of JDs suspension will be taken via a reserve fixture next weekend so he misses Wakefield but back for Halifax

Boots or the real ale bloke calling us RFL's pets incoming...
