The thing is, it’s the same teams who get these decisions against them all the time. Totally unfair playing field.

Captain's challenge works well in the NRL IMO.

How could there be an argument that the ref did not see anything. 

[Rupert Prince 1,823]

How could tjat not be given a six again to Salford.  Clear obstruction.    

[johnh1 955]

Why was that not play on with Salford on the attack?

Yet another obstruction at ruck not given. 

[johnh1 955]

Not going to give this much longer. Can’t compete with a ref like this. Absolute disgrace. 

[Man of Kent 8,189]

Always rated Takairangi. Surprised it’s taken him this long to score a try. 

[Agbrigg 493]

HKR an ungrateful lot, kendal is giving them everything, but they are still getting on his back for more

[JohnM 7,758]

What is a ref supposed to do when he's made such a serious mistake? 

[Bearman 4,225]

I would love to see that "try" from the headon angle which sky could have shown

[Futtocks 16,648]

Now that was pretty good from Takairangi!

[Man of Kent 8,189]

High class kick and chase. Nowhere near as easy as he made that look. 

[johnh1 955]

Clear knock on by Rovers. Not given. Hells bells, this is bad.

[Rupert Prince 1,823]

Salford being a bit amateurish at the ruck

[Man of Kent 8,189]

Said at the start of the season that Salford’s poorly coached team of rejects will mean they’ll struggle to finish above 10th. I was wrong. I should have said 11th.

[JohnM 7,758]

There's no way on earth that Salford are going to win this, sadly.

Cameras are on the wrong side for that angle and it doesn't have an "a" in it.

Of course we aren’t. How can we with this clown in charge?

[johnh1 955]

Even my telly has decided that this has been ruined by the ref and has decided to stop working. So, decision made for me.

[JohnM 7,758]

Professional players should be disciplined enough to accept bad refereeing decisions and get on with the game without (too much) complaint, comment and criticism. However, fans need not feel so constrained. 

[Rupert Prince 1,823]

Merde!

[johnh1 955]

But that decision meant that instead of Salford having possession, Rovers had a penalty close to the line with Salford only 12 players on the pitch. Some teams may be good enough to cope with that. Salford are not. Rovers scored 10 points as a result.

Hull KR depends upon the presence of seven former NRL players, three of whom (Kenny-Dowell, Linnett, and Hall) have played for the Sydney Roosters.

How many games did Hall play?  And Kenney Dowell is 33!
