We have Lindop who is a better centre than Tai.

No blame from me but he will be dissapointed with his kicking. One was straightforward and it cost us.

We lost that game in the middle. They smashed us.

I think you are right. In my view the coach got it wrong, Vaughan and Powell should have started. However, poor defending was Wire's undoing. Having said that the team had enough chances to win the game in the second half.

It pains me to say it...again...but for the last 2 seasons, I have said that officialdom is killing this game, and been derided.
I genuinely want the RFL Officials to select 6 numbers, as they clearly see things...no one else does.
Last week Moore gave the Makinson attempt as a Try, which given he was yards from the action and players in the way, how ?
Same last night.
I was always under the impression that if on the field, they weren't 100%, then send upstairs, but if you send upstairs, then your 'not sure', so your giving the decision on 'suspicion', not as a TRY.....amateur, which unfortunately makes the game more Amateurish.
No one can argue that NRL is not better, and have significantly better officials.
NONE of ours would be able to operate in the NRL, simply nowhere near competent enough.
The standard of officials has been, and is, woeful and totally inadequate to respect the game, but I also suspect they are given 'guidelines' as to how to officiate...wrongly clearly.
Afraid that SL will again not have any of my hard earned next Season again, as its just a joke.

We can discuss the refs errors ad infinitum, and just to chip in my views, he should have gone to VR on the Dufty “try�, Ashton’s 2nd should have had an “8 point try� clear head high in act of scoring. Burgess try, say no more.
I think we suffered with the short turnaround (cf leigh).
I really do think we missed Fitzgibbon though, our 3 back rowers too similar.
Ashton has been absolutely phenomenal, best winger in the league currently.

Spot on re the 8 point try, that was as clear as an example as I've seen. I would say I was surprised Sky didn't mention it on commentary, but they were all too busy queuing for hugs from Mikey Lewis and Ryan Hall to notice.
