Most blatant act of bias by the referee was towards the end when the Huddersfield player was tackled into touch in a continuous, perfectly legal movement and he gave a penalty to them thereby taking away Trinitys 'advantageous field position.

Thought that was Child.

Who could forget Ashley Klein's performance v Leeds at Belle Vue back in the day. Shocking.

I don't recall it?!?

Thing about Klein was when he made a call he was absolutely right... it was the ones he didn't make that were so frustrating

He's better now but still prone to selective blindness

The worst ref display I've ever see was Ashley Kline In the 2006 season away at Wigan
He sent of Korky for throwing the ball away he also sent Ben jefferies off too, it was awful to watch

This was a must win game for Wigan as they at the bottom of the table facing relegation
To this day I believe to my core that Kline was paid to throw that match
A couple of week after that they signed Stuart fielden for 450k knowing it would put them over the salary cap but at the time the point deduction was the season after

Correct - people who say they don't believe refs do these things deliberately are blind. It defies logic. Corruption is part of the human condition I'm afraid.

Tim Roby mate.

I'm sure your quite right to a degree, but do the RFL conspire with these referees to create problems for certain clubs as has been suggested on this board.

Fair question.

I don't know but it's possible - you only have to look at Mr Box and WMDC to see how it can happen.

There was the game against Saints a couple of seasons ago, where we were all over them in the first half and then some "intervention" at HT.
THe second half was controlled in a totally different style, with Trinity getting stuffed by the ref and Saints won the game.
That was the closest that I've come to thinking that the game could be corrupt.

That when Ganson had a chat at half time?

It was this game IIRC ; www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/31711809

OH yes remember that game we all came away saying that the game was corrupt with the way Klown ref that, Think it was Danny orrrrrrrrrr who Korki alleged took off the ball don't think he made contact with him but still got sin-bin. And that St helens game was just has bad we were in total control of the game should have been more than 12-6 up BUT second half Every decision when Saints way totally ref in a different way again Corrupt.
People say we are paranoid about the rfl but if you were at these games you know what you saw But we will has a Club/Fans keep giving it

to the establishment.


Up The Trin

Wasn't that when Ganson made a visit to the refs changing room at halftime, which wasn't supposed to be allowed, but nothing was done

Indeed but, it was only to "have a word"

The wrong kind of word though.

Karl Kirkpatrick against Sheffield I say no more!

Quote ="Wildthing"It was this game IIRC ; www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/31711809'" Wrong game mate the referee was definately Tim Roby probably the season before and according to Sky's referee on the spot Cummings who days later when asked by Hemmings for his view on the matter said that Ganson as head of refereeing was perfectly entitled to enter the referee's room, but would not speculate on the content of conversation and just said he was probably asking him about his welfare, that's if you want to believe that.

That was certainly the most vindictive performance I've ever seen.

And yet Ok went on to be a great ref, shame the same can't be said for the others.

Was it Ganson who, away to London, had it in for Andy Raleigh? Think London won 38-0 or something like that.

The game is lodged on my mind but am I right in thinking he was worried by two pensioners 'chasing ' him off the pitch? That was him yes?
Back to Friday and I have never seen more obvious decisions given the wrong way, for the referee to be corrected by touch judge a minute after the decision was made is unbelievable. It can only be said he was looking to let things go when Huddersfield did it and Wakefield did the same the whistle blew.
At least twice Huddersfield knocked on and he said play on...we can't have him again in this fixture...

I believe with the guys background the alarm bells should have been ringing loudly after the way he reffed at Huddersfield on the first fixture. If that had happened to the Shaun Wanes of this game there would have been massive out cry.

We as a club are probably a bit more forgiving and put it down to him having a bad day. However after the debacle on Friday I would be upset if our club did not make strong representations not to have him again in any Huddersfield fixture.

On the other side of the coin if it was sheer coincidence that he had two dreadful games. Then it also does him a favour, he's a young ref and it is unfair to ask him to ref his own club and many of the players he knows as friends.

Kirkpatrick had to leave the field under police escort, and as stated, hotly pursued by the most unlikely would-be assassins.

Remember it well.
