The RFL seem quick enough to relegate Thaler for sending players off in the heat of the moment, or questioning the video ref in France but the idiot Kendal gets away with that inept performance on Monday. No wonder the top refs have left the game

Actually Mr Kendall has been relegated..He runs the line Friday.

Is that the case though?
Only reason I ask is we've had a few SL refs running the line in matches this season.

Might be down to the dire shortage of officials?
The whole thing needs looking at as regardless of whether people agree with Beaumont speaking out I think most people will say at the minute in time the whole RL referee/ touch judge situation (be it standards or shortages)needs overhauling and looking at as its not at the place it should be for Europes premier Rugby competiton.

He has a gig on Sunday at Giants v Wire.

Thats down to RFL.Possibly the fast-tracking isn't the answer.

Even Adrian Durham isnt happy about the quality of the Refs. talksport.com/rugby-league/open- ... 0530241152

Correct

(you cant say anything negative regarding them) its not allowed

Running the line in our game at Leeds, oh brill can look forward to him getting things wrong from a different angle

He's running the line in the hope of learning something from the man in the middle.( J.Child)

"Oh Dear"

Feel for you guys coz everything DB says is correct.
We (Hull KR) tried to have a go re the state of some decisions a few years ago when Justin Morgan spoke out re Thaler, result £5K fine,then Hudge had a go result fine. Sandercock had the same "everyones against us" attitude,that didn't help either.
Its fairly obvious that the ref dept is in turmoil & lots of fans are upset but until more owners stand together for the good of the game it wont change.
TBH the Ganson "tracking the wrong player" at Magic weekend years ago that cost us the derby match did for me in Super League.No more season passes inSL EVER for our 4 in SL since then and never will again.
After that I picked and choose matches to go to & only got passes this year when we went down.
The RFL are dead to me, they don't want to see the sport improve, they just want to see it carry on bent & corrupt and that's a shame coz its the best team sport in the world run by idiots...just my opinions mind.

Bigger concern should be how we always seem to concede when these decisions go against us.

Kendall has run the line quite a few times on a Thursday/Friday nights, If you'd stop feeling sorry for yourself you'd have seen that assuming the district of Leigh have Sky on tap.
If we believe what you want us to believe that you are to a degree a man of intelligence, then surely a referee what has deliberately shown a bias against your club would be better served running the line anyway, do keep up Stephen

Sorry Reffy, I thought i'd said with [uSquad Numbers [/uicon_confused.gif isn't Martyn Ridyard still a Leigh player, No 6? and, he was sat amidst the other players too

Do these players have squad numbers within our thirteen ?

My point was that it is no use moaning about him not being available, it was the club's choice to make him unavailable, claim injuries or suspensions by all means but not this.

Even a neutral feels we've suffered some dodgy decisions!

I have just read Dereks latest statement,whilst I AGREE with a lot of what he is actually saying I still think he is going about it the wrong way,I think to get all the other chairman/coach's managers Etc together is A GOOD thing but why come out and publicise it.
Get all the info and facts the present it to the RFL without giving them prior warning ?
The one bit I didn't agree with was about making the game a pantomime!!!!
Did Derek not go on Judge Rinder a few weeks ago ?
Now this did make our sport look like a pantomime

Hi Ian.

I think he's publicising it to steer some of the flak away from him, by making it a more 'public' issue. He says he has turned down a number of media interviews, to avoid it becoming a one man crusade.

You are probably correct but he should have thought about this before the first outburst really

With his record I think we should be grateful/surprised he has tried to dig himself out of it a little

Hardly the crime of the century. He said his piece, started the "improvement" ball rolling. Job done.

It could well be that apart from anything else Degsy's comments were designed to take a bit of pressure off the coaching staff and the players.

Good point that chiss.
