The incident happened in the Batley game, that's why he played against you, it even tells you that in your post, are you from Dewsbury?

More whingeing. This happens every time with suspensions - the team who is offended against doesn't get the advantage yet, overall, don't these things even out?

We lost a player (winger) for the remainder of the game early in the first half to an illegal and foul play, with no direct replacement. If the officials saw enough to put it on report it should automatically be a sin bin. If he's found guilty then we get a 10 min advantage in the game where the offence took place. If he's innocent then as you say BSJ these things even out over the season, but in the game involved! The ref took it upon himself to sin bin both number 7's in the game when no punches or even pushing were involved. As a sport we should invest much more into officials and even try the Aussie two refs on the pitch and in goal touch judges.

Sorry PM but you are attempting to rewrite the rules. There have been numerous occasions where a player is put on report with no immediate sanction, including sin-bins. I am not defending any specific incident but the actions of the referees in these specific circumstances are generally prescribed - they can't just make things up on the hoof.

The game struggles enough at the moment to get one referee for each game (they leave in droves when subjected to personal abuse every week) so, whilst the aspiriration might be worthy the practicality of two referees is yet some way off.

Follow BSJ's example and hug a referee.

They're an endangered species.

You say that BSJ, but we have, on numerous occasions this season, seen them make things up on the hoof.

Take the Toronto match as an example you may have seen, where they knock on and we fly hack it forward but they get the ball from the kick, so we gain no advantage, so we get the scrum. Fine with that.

Then in the same game, the same thing happens, they knock on, we kick it forward and they retrieve the ball. This time, he advises the Batley player was offside from the kick through, so gives a penalty to Toronto. Then explains it was given because Batley had taken advantage because this time it was an attacking kick and was offside from it. What is an attacking kick, and how would a fly hack forward be deemed as a defensive kick? Is there such a thing as a defensive kick? The first offence was still the knock on. We are seeing incidents like this, most weeks go against us.

The other one that baffles me, the ref puts a player on report, (which should only be used because they haven't seen an incident), but then gives a penalty. How can they give a penalty, if they have not seen the incident? Which is it, have they seen the incident or not?

We are still the only team I have seen penalised for not playing the ball off the mark, despite it happening in nearly every game since the clamp down, and yet it still goes unpunished.

We're no angels and we don't help ourselves sometimes, but we don't get a fair crack from the officials either.

Yes you do but you never notice when things go your way. Paranoia is a precondition for becoming a RL supporter.
