Well I'm sorry,but, the officiating against Sheffield and more so against London is nothing short of shocking.
Just one example in the Sheffield game was, Most of the Sheffield players were stood a meter in front of C Kendall (He was stood 10 back not 12) and let play go TWICE when we were on their 20 line. The very next set for Sheffield in the same area, he gave Leigh offside immediately against Leigh,then they kick for touch and all the pressure is off them,and yes it does work both ways.The game atm is being smothered with too many technical offences, And that's what I meant by the inconsistency. And that's the obvious that needs eliminating,and the ref needs to get a grip with it.
A prime example of excellent officiating was B Thaler - Wigan v Leeds. He interacts very well with the players, has total control of the game,and then the players respect him and the game they are playing in.
And then we get that buffoon Childs on Saturday in France waving his hand like a windmill,Team warning. YET AGAIN.
