There is a new rule were if they fail to hear " held " and pass the ball they are just told to play the ball, but we heard held, Moore didn't

I was at the back of the north stand and I heard it. If it had been a short time before he had passed it yes but Leigh were retreating ready to defend the play the ball. It should have been a Penalty to Leigh Reffy.

You are possibly correct but the rule was brought in because players were unfairly penalised when passing the ball at the same time that the ref called held. I think this way is better.

Everyone would like to see a free flowing game, but not to at the extreme of tries being allowed for blatant forward passes. Leeds scored at least 3 tries off forward passes.I would rather the game was played to the rules otherwise we might as well play American Football. And I do wish Sinfield would stop going to the ref for every decision, it's pathetic. 48 - 24 would have been a better reflection of the game.

Well I think that these rules and the flat pass rules are leading to inconsistencies in officiating and are doing nothing for our game. It makes it easier for an official who is prejudiced against a team or town to hide behind his or her decisions. It also helps the governing body to defend an official who makes bad decisions because the are too many ambiguities in there. Is this wrestling tripe just getting us ready for us joing the RU leagues because I personally hate it. When a player has stopped making forward progress and it is clear that that he is tackled then the tackle is complete. Some officials are waiting and waiting and waiting somemore to give the attacking team more time to get the ball out. It is open to abuse and a clear and strict rule is needed. It does no good to my blood preasure and voice box when I'm on the terrace.

A captain of a team needs to have the official explain his decisions for the reasons I have just posted. I would expect our captain to do exactly the same. I have watched KS at close quarters asking the ref questions and he does it in a very profesional manner. Don't forget he is hyper and in a very tough enviroment when he is on the field. Never ever seen him use bad language either. Wish we had him.

Awesome comment, the best I have read for a while. I suppose what you really mean is that every Ref & TJ l is biased against Leigh; I think paranoia just about covers it.

Well Reffy i really hope you don't make the first grade as you have totally misread my post and if you do that you obviously will do the same with the rule book. Where in any of my posts did I even intimate that I thought that any ref had a problem with Leigh. I merely said it could happen to any club or town.

I haven't misread your post at all, you are of the opinion that referees are biased against particular teams. It is a concept that I find laughable. I was just fine tuning your idea because surely Leigh fall into the category of "any club or town".



You are obviously not alone in your belief that refs give Leigh nowt but I have to admit that you are less vitriolic than some.

What an earth is a 'flat pass rule'?

It's a concept, that doesn't exist in the laws of the game, but which SKY TV, as the sport's paymasters, would have us believe does.....and, in SDL at any rate, has now become a self fullfilling prophecy!!

Forward Pass. Its allowed in SL.



Leeds are masters of it. Sinfields first try was a mile forward. Problem was that the ref was right at the side of him !!! LOL!!!
