Weird that your own club thought that as well then.

Have they explained his return?

That was side line assessment failure he passed the SCAT5 test during the interval.

Then why did the tweet not say that and say he would not be back in this game ?

don't want to get in between the Saints Wigan banter and yes as per the title of this thread Kendall is a disgrace I shake my head every time we get him.

My question is because this has been bugging me have Saints EVER been officiated by the equally inept Hicks since McManus's rant after wembley the other year ??? anyone know. ?

Double post

Yes he didn't have them for the rest of 19 but he has had them this year. I only know because I remember thinking it was the first time he had reffed them since.

And for balance what's your views on the very similar missed forward passes etc. from your own game tonight?

Which? I think the Coote to Welsby pass for Lomax’s try was dodgy. Which others? Welsby blocked Folau for Grace’s try too. I also thought the 2nd sin bin was soft but I think he gave it because of an accumulation of foul play as opposed to that tackle as a stand-alone incident.

No idea, the final say will be through the official protocol and not from a tweeter. Maybe the tweet was to fool the gullible on here.



If you are that upset with it, write to the RFL to get the game replayed.

I think the point is, the guy tweeting hasn't guessed he has failed. He has been told he has failed. As seemingly was Jenna and the rest of the sky team.

So there was a communication breakdown somewhere. Conspiracy theory over.

Well why haven't your club said that? Why have they deleted the tweet and made a joke about him being some sort of superhero?

I very muvh doubt they have put him back on with any issues, but they also haven't done anything to clear up the situation which only lends itself to "conspiracy theories" and paints the sport in a terrible light.

State of Mind charities etc etc but look at this tackle LMS came back on after even though his team mate is having to hold him up.

If you can prove that then I will apologise immediately, I await with bated breath however.

Prove what? That your club posted and then deleted a tweet and that sky said he had failed before he miraculously appears on the field?

The post is on here, the game was on sky.

Lets put this another way....

What would the reaction be if wigan did it? Announced a player failed, bring him back on, delete the tweet and make a joke.

There would be a 50 page thread on here for a start

The ones you've just listed. How are they any different to Kendall's? I would also add 2 more forward pass incidents (Naiqama was literally stood in front of Makinson when he passed to him) but I wouldn't necessarily expect you to agree and it doesn't matter anyway as you've agreed with plenty others and enough to make the point, which is that all referee's make mistakes and they are only an issue if they don't go for your team or vested interest.

Just to clear up one point though. The 2nd sinbinning wasn't for an accumulation of foul play. The warning he gave was for "players running in". There was no mention of any other types of offence. Neither were Catalan on a team warning so that the next offence of any type would result in a player going off. The 2nd sinnbinning was soft. No mitigating circumstances.

When have I said they’re different to Kendall’s mistakes? You’re putting words in my mouth again and/or judging me on what others have said haha.

Kendall made mistakes in Wigan’s favour the other night, Moore made a couple in our favour last night. Conclusion, most refs aren’t very good and make mistakes. No insinuation of bias or favour or games getting reffed differently for Wigan.

Can’t speak for everyone but I’d literally think “oh sky got it wrong” and I’d get on with my night and not cry about a conspiracy including doctors putting players lives at risk.

Why can’t you get your head around the fact that there was a breakdown in communication? The lad running the twitter account isn’t a medic. He’d have been given the same wrong info that sky were given. It’s not hard.

I've got my head around that and that is fine. But why delete it rather than explain it. Does that not make it appear that you are hiding something?

As I said, I doubt he did fail because I doubt (or certainly hope) that Saints would do that but the situation should have been handled better than making a joke about it

Tbf the person doing the twitter might literally be watching it on sky like the rest of us (I don't know either way).

Agree with the quoted post mate but how am I putting words in your mouth when I was responding to the post below which literally lists the mistakes he makes as a reason for him not to get the final?

This has to be a wind up surely?

I agree he got the Griffin call correct by the way, it was a stupid act from Griffin and Kendall was spot on.

However, Kendall also made a series of howlers which have been listed already in this thread. He also missed two incidents last week that should have been red cards and also should’ve sent Greenwood off v Saints.

So to suggest he deserves to get the final is crazy talk in my opinion. However knowing the RFL like I do, I 100% expect him to get

Edit: It won't let me bold the part that mentions the "Howlers" listed in this thread. That's the specific part I'm referring to.

I agree there. They should’ve clarified it.

I don’t follow you. I don’t think Kendall deserves the final as he’s made many higher profile errors. That doesn’t mean no other ref makes howlers too. I just don’t think Kendall “deserves” next weeks game. Having said that, it’s a fairly poor quality pool we are picking from. None of them are flawless.
