I hope the Video ref was kind enough to give the crusaders a reacharound after completley ing us over.

RFL refs, you are a ing disgrace

I think he must have





All referees are shoite

Must be a charitable offering, I,ve not known Ian Smith to give us anything these past 3 seasons.

How long for Cummings?

He does seem to be steadily decreasing the standards of refereeing in SL.

Ah well there you go. Roby would have given himself benefit of the doubt... No issue then!

"I'd have given me'self benefit of doubt"... What a douche.

I was a saints fan before the crusaders were here, and i agree with this 100%

I couldnt believe it, i was saying what a crap decision it was, and im a Saints fan.

Was one of the worst decisions i have seen in a long time.

Does the video ref still confirm to the match referee before pressing the decision button.

Compared to Gasniers for the other Saints it was a gem and I wouldn't have given Roby's
but people do make mistakes which is part and parcel of the game.

Still time to get rid of the video ref system as it is grossly unfair until all the games have it!!!

Mebbe he just wanted to make amends for denying Emmett's try?

The one that was clearly held up?

on field refs can make mistakes but he was the Vr and watched it time and again! how the hell can he make a mistake with something as blatant as that?

It is a typical Ref's decision where they go for the ''big'' team. It happens all the time

Yep. I'm perfectly willing to accept mistakes from on-field refs in the heat of the moment with only 1 viewpoint. I'm also willing to accept a "mistake" from a video ref if the video is inconclusive or ball cant be seen and he uses "benefit of the doubt". In this case, the video ref got it wrong with conclusive and obvious video evidence.

That is not acceptable with full time referees. Stuart Cummins should consider his position as this is not an isolated incident and there has been no discernible improvement in on-field refs consistency and in the accuracy of video ref decisions.

but it was only saints

That's the first decision that the b*stard Smith has ever given us.

the rugby football league dont want warrington to finish 2nd just like they dont want hull to finish 4th

Very clever bit of psychology there.

You are right about not finishing 4th though. But with a bit of luck you will finish 6th with a home tie against HKR

By what? Grass?

No, the defenders arm. Ball quite clearly didnt go down far enough to touch the ground.

An awful decision.

with the rfl you could see it happening

leeds finish 4th, play wigan at jjb
hull fc finish 6th, play hull kr at the kc

two healthy attendances that will bump up the prize funds and income for the rfl

It's one bad call. Think people are over-reacting. After all, it's not like it was a 6 point game.
