I couldn't believe it, he checked the wrong player!

The winger was so far in front he wasn't even in the picture!

 

Clearly offside.  It that's the way the cookie's crumbled tonight.

[johnh1]

Is there any point watching the rest of this? Game ruined by Smith. 

[Barca Mum]

Ref totally ruined this game for neutrals not only Salford fans

Dupree was petulant, there was no need to do that. Fair call. 

You’ll see that in a majority of tries , nothing in it

He didn’t check the right player for the onside and if that’s an 8 point try then there are several every game …

looking at the wrong player for the offside is embarrassing to the game- the scorer was a mile off - video ref ruins game

If you’re on your line how can you not be onside?

From the wider point of view I’ve literally heard refs shout to not hit the arm.

It seems like a thing

I didn’t think he was on his line, he was effectively stood next to the player playing the ball. I agree the yellow was harsh though, he didn’t seem to hold on very long

[gingerjon]

Fair play to Wire for what has been a superb fightback.

Yeah it's was clearly an intentional dig and it was no attempt at a tackle. 8 point try is the right call.

Seen a few complaining about the yellow but it's always given as professional foul for any slowing of ptb after a line break. It's nothing new.

Refs have ruined what was a great game.

[Harry Stottle]

Watkins back in World Cup defensive mode.

Fair play wire plus ref

[Gerrumonside ref]

Have Salford got anything left in the tank?

Yup . The Apprentice is really funny tonight. Mens hand cream that turns people's skin green.

[Tubby]

If a player slid into a tackle in the field of play like Dupree did, would it be a penalty?

[Wolfey Rovers]

Good games ruined by extremely below par officials, happens all too often.

Doesn't matter. Smith will make sure Wire win. This has been dreadful.

Why would you slide in late with your knees in the field of play?

[johnh1]

That should be a sin binning for Dufty.

[Tubby]

Smith spoiling the game giving Salford everything…

Absolutely. Salford were playing on the edge to slow Warrington down and that tackle by Brierley tipped them over it. Another fair call. 

Jack Smith’s had a good game.

Why would you slide in with your knees over the try line?

even blowing up to stop Salford momentum

[Chrispmartha]

Told you brierly was having a shocker

[Gerrumonside ref]

Wire on fire now 

[DEANO]

Forgive me if I’m wrong but didn’t cas get a penalty try on Sunday that was only worth 6 points
