Sat 12 Oct: SLGF: Salford Red Devils v St Helens KO 6pm (TV)

[L Bow]

Kendall again awful. 

[Harry Stottle]

I doubt McManus will be calling Mr Kendall after this game!

[Mark S]

What’s Kendal doing there. That should be his career as a full time ref over and done with.

[sheddingswasus]

Terrible refereeing this. Totally spoiling the game

 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

That was a shocking decision!

I'm glad you pointed that out because I thought I must have been seeing things.

At least three were at the ref complaining 

[Tommygilf]

Salford getting absolutely nothing from the ref here. 

[Lobbygobbler]

Ref has ruined the game

[Jinking Jimmy]

I don’t think Eamon McMannus will be complaining about this referee!

[DiH68]

I’m not generally one for whinging at refs but Kendall has ruined this as a contest

I think what you meant to say is that Saints are now in the lead and that disappoints you.

[Tex Evans Thigh]

I’m not saying Salford would have won but the referee has ruined any chance they had. Terrible display. 

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

Watson will be livid, saints handed this second half by the officials, they'll have their name on the trophy but frankly it's even worse than the NRL GF, this is not just one but several decisions that are not just baffling, they are utterly incomprehensible.

How good does Old Trafford look... Sensational attendance and atmosphere

Maybe we do move the CC final away from Wembley... this puts it to shame

Change the CC Final to an evening kick off

Salford were in this game up to their necks ... at 12-6 they should have had a penalty under the sticks , then got a bad call leading to a try and a two score game and they were big moments . From then they’ve got nowt and got more frustrated trying to play catch up

[Nearenough]

Why do we not have video refs reviewing penalties, this game is being strangled by effing reffing

[Bearman]

I am a closet Saints fan but I do feel for Salford

Dont be silly lass, I am sure Kendall has given everthing as he has seen it, but not to admit that Saints have had nearly 100% of close calls would be ridiculous.

Plus it wouldnt have been 12-6 in the first place if Grace's jump had been penalised.

[Hullfan]

Thompson mom anyone 

[Spotty Herbert]

Evalds taken out in the air. Penalty Saints.

 

[JohnM]

Absolutely disgraceful decision to give a knock on rather than a penalty to Salford.

All season I have posted on here how good Saints are this season.  I have defended refs against criticism from all comers, too.

However, there have in my view been at least three "wrong" decisions in Saints favour,  at least two incidents that merited the sin bin for two Saints  players.

It's ok to be beaten fair and square by a better side but not by this Saints team.

Exactly, those decisions compound matters, you lose your composure start chasing and end up making more errors or pushing the rules a bit more and then get pinged. Kendal has done them up like a kipper, ruined what could have been an epic final but isn't, certainly not in the 2nd half.
