Quote ="Airlie Street"It’s just not a good look for the RFL, first they bend the rules for Smith so he can avoid the ban he clearly deserved to ensure Wigan are at full strength.
Then they appoint a Wigan born ref, who ends up having a shocker and hands the game to Wigan.
Really poor all round, I always want the SL team to win these games but I can’t celebrate that one, good job it’s just a glorified pre-season friendly for the Aussies.'"
It’s the same Wigan born ref that sent a Wigan player off against HKR in the cup semi last year that ultimately lost us the game. Had French try been given then this ref nonsense would never be mentioned, oh but wait a minute the video ref disallowed it. It goes both ways.
