Notwithstanding the awful performance, I found this on the official RFL site :

Touch Judge 11. Each Touch Judge shall remain in touch, one on each side of, and near to, the playing field except:–

(a) when judging kicks at goal (see Section 6) and

(b) when reporting a player’s misconduct which has escaped the notice of the Referee.

What on earth was the touch judge on the popular side doing? He was running up and down the pitch, two metres in field for practically the whole game. 

And this has what to do with barrows performance? The touch judge has been on the course and passed all relevant training. If he was stood on the sideline or in the stands he can still flag for barrows passes into the crowd

Maybe the officials find it amusing that fans are shouting for a forward pass when the ball wasn't even passed. Find it embarrassing standing on the popular side listening to the abuse people are shouting to the officials. Difference is officials are impartial and fans are not. Barrows performances have been poor so far got lucky last week and lack ideas. No line speed in defence and concide far to many yards every set.
