Watch the play back. His whistle goes to his mouth as soon as the momentum is gone, therefore no advantage in playing on, it’s about 2 or 3 seconds.

RFL disciplinary result, agree that sin bin was correct call. Vid demonstrates no direct or indirect contact with the head.

I'm confused Northernbloke, you said previously that you had watched the playback & the head was struck! Now you say the Vid shows no contact with the head. So which playback is correct?

Like the refs, makes it up as he goes along !

Read my post!
For me it looked like head contact on the play back, I admitted that, my last post was report from RFL discip, who reviewed it, they see it different.

Maybe the panel should have gone to Specsavers!

I understand we have been victim of more poor refereeing at Huddersfield.

Or possibly poor decision making and getting taken into touch with the ball a few too many times

Well Northernbloke. A quick look around the forums you will, with your blind support of the referees, find that you are in a minority of one. In you thinking that everything that the referees do is perfect.

Didnt take you long Bosty to arouse Marvel's latest Super Hero Apology Man!

Funny though, have never seen a ref knock on.
Very seldom see a player admit to a knock on either.

No NB you see lees than Arsene Wenger.

Is that possible Bosty?

Well have you ever seen a ref knock on? Or one be offside! Just a thought!

No but clearly some Refs are one side. However, did once see a Referee drop his whistle. Not seen a player do that.

What kind of answer is that? Perhaps that's where we've been going wrong, expecting the ref to get decisions right rather than being able to play the game. Hope you had a bit more of a sensible approach when speaking to players who dared question a decision of the ref.

I swear to god NB is simply a wind-up merchant!
He is the only person defending the referee, whilst others, who rarely post criticism of the referee are adamant that he was pants.
I wasn't there, but I have seen the challenge on social media and even a relative newbie like me can see that the challenge was illegal and the consequences potentially lethal and therefore, regardless of some pipe-dream defense about "playing advantage", the Ref should have immediately blown and the tackler should have been shown Red. Instead, it took London players getting stuck in for anything to happen and as a result we were down 2 men to their one, as a direct result of their foul play and an inadequate referee.

Where are the modern day Billy Thompsons, Fred Lindops, Russel Smiths, Karl Kirkpatricks or John Holdsworths?

Under Cummings & now Ganson things are getting worse.

Yes, Ganson like many at the top of Rugby League is stealing a living. He needs to go and go now.

The rot truly set in under Stuart Cummings. He was an awful ref in his day, then an awful Director of Referees, and now a truly dispiriting commentator. And somehow the RFL followed his tenure with the appointment of Steve Ganson, who spent his life show pony-ing around the grounds.

This could be part of the problem, the good ref is the one you don't notice but Ganson doesn't seem likely to train those.

Stupid post that is not what the ref is on the pitch for. I have seen a ref make many, many many mistakes.

Would not want Kirkpatrick back.

So it would seem that after a number of high/late tackles, you could determine the Ref had no control of the game. Just saying.

To be fair, I think London deserved a point from that game at Huddersfield because of the effort put in over the 80 minutes. But I wouldn`t blame the ref for that action at full time, as both the ref and the in-goal judge were both right on top of the action. Also Huddersfield hooker Leeming swears he got the ball down when the ref said held-up.
That was a new ref to me, hadn`t seen him before, made the odd cock-up but no worse than some of the dross around.
Best of luck against Salford.
