it wasn't a guess,it was basic officiating,as blatant as say,the Hardaker pass against Saints or other ridiculously obvious things that the linos have missed this season.Oddly enough it led to one of the best bits of the game for Leeds with the JJB try followed by the Buderus effort which tore the Catalans defence apart....

bloke was sin binned for late hit on the kicker! The fact he went in with his shoulder and did not look like he was actually trying to effect a correct tackle made it obvious!

had he been attempting to make a proper tackle and not just hit with the shoulder he might have got away with it

Its in the rules of the game!!! Hit the kicker late then it has to be a yellow card, the TJ is watching for the late hit and in the case in was correct and desreved to be sin binned

as for the foot on the line

if yopu look where the TJ was stood it looked like his view was blocked by the player trying to tackle him, not an excuse but hey

But FWIW it did not seem the best game for mr Childs,

As for the messing around at the play the ball and the pushing and shoving!!! does get silly but peacock is expert at it

Not standing square, well you can stand where the bloody hell you want as long as you dont get involved in the play or!!! directly effect the direction of play



thing thats really annoying me these days and its gettign worse and was pretty bad in this game is the scrum!!! second row not even bothering packign in anymore now never mind the loose fwd

The only games I can honestly say where the ref did not make major mistakes, were the two losses for us reffed by Thaler.



Therefore I would always hope for Thaler personally. I think this year he has been miles ahead of the others.

LOL I was hoping to get down there end of July but might struggle now.

BTW no news for you on the search for the missing tribe!!!

I will PM you later mate.

Hardaker's pass or Watkins flick-pass to Hardaker?



The Jones-Bishop incident was still a guess (however educated) on your part from where you were sat in the stand. It wasn't as clear-cut as you claim in real time and it only became truely evident that a mistake had been made with the use of freeze frame after the event. Jones-Bishop's boot hit the line a split-second before he released the ball, making the touch judge's play-on decision a poor but understandable mistake.



As I said though, well done for guessing right on this occasion.

In the Round 10 fixture V Huddersfield, Thaler's poor positioning managed to block Leuluai's attempted tackle on Robinson. Only made worse when Thaler apologised to Leuluai and then awarded the try.



Nathan Brown was also complimentary on his performance that night as I recall.

sanjunien......are you for f*****g real?







not really......im pointing out the things that i think are relevant to this thread ie 'the ref being !'



where did i blame the ref for the defeat? you seemed to omit the fact i said we were poor!!







let me guess....it took a replay on tv at home for you to notice that













so you've not actually been in that stand then.....



A. its not finished!

B. the stairs are VERY steep

C. allowing 100's of kids to sit on the steps

D. BIG metal rebar's sticking out of the sides of the steps (trip hazard yes?)

E. the seats themselves are the worst ive ever sat in....and ive been to Elland Road



obviously safety certificates dont exist in france ( god i could be so un-PC now but i wont!)

[/u



go on,be 'un-PC' - whatever that actually means ?

For 'un-PC' see: 'Casually racist'.

thanks Wheels,not into all this 'urban speak' lost touch with it years ago.



so our friend Royston Vasey is a bit like that is he ?



ok RV let it rip - say what you [ureally[/u think !

i was sat in the stand and its a great view but i agree the stand is far from finished and would appear to have been opened to early the floor/steps had not even been swept of the dust from fixing the seats but the fans/ground creates a great atmosphere and look forward to coming back even if you do have to buy tokens to exchange for a beer !

At the end of the day, it's the responsibility of the player to get out of the referee's way. The apology was only courteous from the official.
