Thought the ref was on the whole okay. Touch judge called the 40/20 not the ref. Lack of ideas from London did not help, caught out on the a couple of times on the 5th tackle and then run into dead ends. Neither team would survive in the SL.

By overuse I mean over ride

The reason you tend to find Penalties start to even up is because the game swings the way of the other team, we started pulling it back, we were becoming the dominant side for that 10-15 mins, it's generally the dominant team that get the penalties.

Quote ="Torbreck"It was a 40/20 he missed and then gave yet another penalty to the Bulls, perhaps for dissent. Wes waded in 2 (or 3?) times to ask the ref about some of his decisions. Matthew Thomason should be given next week off and lets pray that Chris Leatherbarrow isn't the ref next weekend when we play Leigh. Still a very disappointing result.'" 14-5 against for penalties.

So Penalties, at least 6 for messing around at ptb one for dissent, at least a couple of head shots and rest probably Offside I can't recall, that's not the refs fault that's the players not reacting! Just silly play

PTB penalties in the first half were cheap, and significantly contributed to the Bulls tries, given they were in the 20 at least twice when awarded repeat sets. Come the second half, Garside makes a break, tackler stands over him clearly holding him down, no action. The wife reckons Connolly had a word at half time and the refs decisions changed, not sure myself.
I had the obstruction down as tackler impeded, so penalty.
Obviously slightly inebriated, so looking for corroboration.....
