Durbin.. he was shoved.. but he completely over-reacted.

priiiiick!

Video ref gave one shocking decision, but I'm not going to blame him or Hewer.

TAXI for Cullen,and Doran, and Webster

How constructive.

What was the shocking decision Manx??

Not seen the replay, but I thought Doran dipped in his shoulder, and it was undeniably late.

Hobson(?)'s try. Clearly knocked on - no downward pressure and frankly, I didn't think it was even on the line when he touched it. Certainly had no control.

None of the commentary team thought it was a try - even Bill Arthur giggled and had to bite his lip from saying "how the heck did he come up with that one!"

Grrrrrrrrrrr

But we should have buried them after going 10-0 up when we were all over them.

He did - had he stood with his arms up, the try would have been given, but there is no doubt in my mind Hicks got that one right.


Grrrrrrrrr

(But that's meant for Lee)

Yep.. I was just trying to say that there was definately an intentional obstruction.. but did Durbin really need to lie on the ground for the next 10 minutes and spring to life when the penalty was given?

last week mr hicks gave Featherstone Rovers a try, it never touch the whitewash, even Iestyn Harris could not belive it, anybody could see it was sort, the players had set up for a play of the ball,, dont know where he gets them from, not fit to be a video ref, infact is he fit to be a ref at all, ??

Durbin was chasing a kick so would have been going at a fair pace - only fair to suggest that there would have been a fair amount of force in the connection, even if it was largely from the pace of Durbin rather than the force of the collision.

I really do feel you lot blew it again last night with the decision to go for the 2

4 Penalties in a row and we were on the back foot , did you lot hear the cheer at our end when the ref pointed to the sticks



2 to level scores , yes

2 to take the lead , yes

2 to take the score past 6 or 12 , yes

2 to take a deficit from 6 to 4 on a night when there is a good chance you;ll not manage to complete a set from your own half , no

2 Weeks running now you've had the chance to take the initiative and both times a bad call has allowed the opposition to settle down and regroup

Cullen eh

Actually, it was blowing the 4 on 1 overlap and choosing to kick that riled me more.

It was not by Hicks, it was by Hewer for alowing Widnes' first try from a blatant forward pass.......but of course the Widnesians are hardly likely to mention this



By the way, for what its worth, Hobsons was a 50-50 call so benefit of the doubt should go to the attacking team but i would have been a little upset if this was given against Leigh, like I was upset for the first try by Widnes

I`m anti Doran at the mo but felt it was not his fault there.

Totally milked

I had no grumbles with the video ref and think the game was reff`ed well.

The Doran moment gave different stories from the 2 angles the camera caught it and that is the only moment the vid ref foooooked up

So was one of yours though - forward passes don't bother me as the TJ's aren't fit enough to keep up with play!
