Behave you absolute gimp! clearly just trying to pull Westwood away from Crosby but no, because it's flower let's all act outraged and demand he gets banned for life.

Never in the history of RLFans has a username been so apt.

I think it's you that has been smoking the good stuff if you think Flower threw a punch.

Because The video referee is wrong on every level and doesn't do the game any favours at all. It is one of RL's biggest mistakes. Everyone, except, the hard of joined up thinking, will accept that mistakes will happen on the field by everyone there. That's the game. perfection doesn't exist!!!!!!!!!

Right.....

So when the on field ref makes mistakes it's fine,

When the VR makes a call you don't agree with the whole system should be abandoned......doesn't sound hypocrictal at all.

I might be able to take you seriously if you weren't clearly a referee yourself who always defends the on field ref regardless of what happens......are you Stuart Cummings by any chance???

Jeez, that's a terrible accusation to be throwing around.

back to their grubby undisciplined selves today leigh, strange how they resort to that and nearly win though

It's obvious why you don't understand the Video referee system failings. That's fine, you are not alone.
Let's just say that introduction of the video referee was wrong, it isn't a fair system and after that I will let everyone work out why. There is no hypocrisy but then you have to look at the bigger picture.
Have fun.

An utterly dreadful concept. I'm with you 100%.

Yes to all that. The Leigh game was a fractious affair and several could have seen yellow. On the spectrum, though, not so different from plenty of SL games.

I've just seen the Pomeroy assault (it's on YouTube), and it really is a sickener. You can put someone in a wheelchair doing that. The ref didn't hesitate with his red card, and quite right too.

i don't think Mr. Pomeroy should be playing again this season, that was a shocking " tackle", well it wasn't a tackle was it?

as has already been said, that has potential to paralyze someone!

Pomeroy gets six games, why not the full eight?

How bad does it have to be, he could have paralysed the kid!

Agreed. Not quite sure how that tackle could be worse. It's about the most dangerous thing I've seen on an RL pitch and was definitely worse than Rangi Chase's sh|thouse tackle on Ferres. Personally I think it should've been a ban around the same length as Flower's.

Not as long as Flower's in my opinion, but certainly should have bn longer than 6 matches.

8 games would have been about right.

With Catalans not going to make the playoffs then 2 of those 6 games will probably be served playing pre-season friendlies.

and again

This really is a joke.

Even Achurch thought he hadn't scored when he stood up.

They had to gave that after the try they gave in last nights game.

Not like they ever cared about consistency before. Someone got binned for a trip last night but Kylie only got penalised a few weeks ago.

James Child is literally the worst ref in the comp. No bottle at all.

How?
Says no try then try
Say try then no try.

Not his fault that the stupid ridiculous video ref system turns a HIGH SPEED COLLISION sport into a micro managed , by the nano second joke.

Sorry but no one has yet to come up with a convincing argument to change my mind

Which is worse, no bottle or wrong decision?

for me, neither Ellis' or Achurch's were tries, i suppose by the letter of the law they are deemed tries if there is a finger nail on the ball, but for me, to remove any doubt, for the on field ref and the video ref, it should only be a try if there is obvious, visual downward pressure, thankfully, the 2 tries mentioned didn't change the outcome of the games.
if those games aren't a SKY games then we get totally different outcomes, i suspect the on field ref would give a no try and knock on against the attacking team.
the ref's jobs are hard enough without adding to it,so for me, unless there is visual downward pressure, it's a no try

as much as he's incurred my wrath previously, i can't see how he can be held responsible? it's the system not the ref that causes problems.
