maybe you should have took more advantage of the 6 on the trot penalties in the 1st qtr an got a few more pts on board.....seems to me our half time team talk was a bit more constructive than yours......the ref was poor full stop....if you feel he helped us through then fair do's......whoever you get at home you should do em

Watched the game again since thursday and the must annoying part of the ref`s display was when Lttler was pulled back for offside.He was away and would have scored making it 16 nil to us,Fev went and scored a few plays later making it 10-6.Fev fans have come on here saying,Stokes favoured us in the 1st half and them in the 2nd,they must have been watching a different game to the one i watched.What made me laugh,when watching it again,was when the Fev fans started chanting" cheat,cheat,cheat and you dont know what your doing" at the ref after only 8 minutes.
God knows what they would have done if they had 2 tries disallowed, a interception pulled back and been on the wrong end of a 16 to 8 penalty count.
Just hope we dont get another refereeing display like that,this thursday.

We do have a few refs and linesman come on here, it would be interesting to read their view of the officials

Collectively they were poor but that is it, no bias, no conspiracies and no hidden agendas.

One thing i think we all have overlooked is Rowls interchanges! Not to have a pop, as tactically, i don't think he was far away. But when you have as much ball as we had early on, particularly round about the 25 min mark, why not bring brierley on? And equally, with 15-20 mins to go, when we were still in the game and getting a fair amount of possession? Top player ball in hand, would like to see him used to try and pile on the points rather than thrown on to try and drag us out of the proverbial.

During the 2nd half Fev were hammering us in the middle and we were under the cosh defending.

I dont think it was right to bring Ryan on at that time. If we'd started to look like getting the lions share of the ball for a period of time in their half fair enough but we needed strength in the middle and to build our own pressure, bit hard when you've not got the ball and the ref is marching your opponents down the hill every other 6.
