| Quote Block5Bull="Block5Bull"I think part of the problem is that you can turn up to watch a very different game if one referee rather than another is in the middle.
My gripe is not that any given referee is inconsistent within their own performance, rather that there seems to be significant difference in interpretation of the rules from one ref to the next, particularly around the ruck, as was shown at MM. As such I would genuinely rather watch Silverwood at the moment than Childs (as an example rather than supporting the comments on this thread) as the former allows a freer flowing game.
Beyond that, refs will always make good and bad decisions and have good games and bad games, just as players will, and that has not and will not change.'"
Pretty much agree with that. But it doesn't bother me, although I would much rather see a liberal interpretation of the rules to let it flow. 30 years ago it must have been easy patrolling 12 fat blokes trawling it up in the mud incessantly, followed by an occasional foray to the wings. I remember being at HKR for the Aussies first 84 tour game. They kicked the ball back down field almost from the kick off - the looks of amazement & puzzlement on our faces must have been a picture. I think most of the HKR players didn't have a clue what to do.

That whole Huddersfield 25-24 Bradford game was strange as you had Ganson sending two of the Giants players into the bin early on for us take a 18-6 lead before just about every 50/50 call went against us in the last 50 minutes, including the famous "I've stopped the clock with six seconds left" hooter incident.

that was the most bizarre decision and watching it replayed left me (and Sky commentators IIRC) non the wiser what he'd seen to justify it.

I heard his vice was pizza. Perhaps he'd asked to be binned so he could get a snack?

Presumably the bloke from Dominos was stood in the tunnel waiting for his money.
