Sinfield has a terrible attitude to refs IMO, no respect whatsoever and IMO he came across as a spoilt little b***h who can't keep his gum shield in for more then a minute last night.

[quote="El Capitano"]Over the years I have been a bit cautious about Sinny's attitude with referees.

We have seen many great captains in SL not be afraid of speaking well with the referee but argueing their point to the full. Too many times in the past Kev has backed down and accepted what the ref has said even if it was clearly wrong.

I know I may get comments on this but I would like to thank Kev for showing that although he may be very polite and a well spoken captain, that no longer will we just accept calls and wrong penalties going against us without the ref having to well and truely justify them.

Obviously last night Kev didnt agree with Bentham and was quite clear in his approach. But not once was the dummy spat out.[/quote]

i thought the throwing of hands in the air was classed as dummy spitting???

With the Leeds blinkers off I think Sinny could have, and on most days would have, handled himself better with the ref. He looked a little visibly too affected by some decisions which is a little out of character for his level head. The finger wagging was not acceptable, regardless of frustration levels or decision quality. This is rugby not football.

another ref I think he might have.IMO Disko was lucky not have been given 10. On another night or with

Happy to put it down to a bad day at the office for some but if it continues BC will need to enforce some discipline and stomp it out.

i think the ref didnt have it in him to sin bin Diskin with him being one of your top players so he picked on McShane instead.

Was a good game from a neutral point of view but diskin and mcguire need to stop lashing out at the ref, they do my head in

They should take a leaf out of James Graham's and Paul Wellens' book.

I thought Sinfield was chancing his arm being so strident but I can understand his frustration at the penalty count when HKR were clearly always on side and square at the marker. All he was asking for was a fair crack of the whip.

IMO Sinfield was within his rights to question Bentham why Leeds appeared to be getting a rough deal in the penalty count but pointing his finger at the Ref was out of order.

after reading the posts on this subject i have come to a conclusion.. that theres a lot of bulls conkers written on here.. people were screaming for the ref to be hung for his descisions during the game and that was coming from both sets of fans

then everyone comes on here and slates sinny for having a word..

he did what needed to be done .

it did look at one point that the only descision we were going to get was wether we went and queued for burgers or beer tho
