Rediculous that we lost Eseh and it shouldn’t have even been penalty let alone a card. Shocking officiating tbh.

As for Atoni. It’s a joke if it was that tackle in second half as it looked a good strong dominant tackle.

Whether the one vs Atoni was above the knee or not it was a cowardly tackle from the side while he was stood up. I thought the outlawed that.

Like I said previously big Dave took 2 or 3 of them sort of tackles and wouldn't surprise me if that's how he got injured.
The RFL are totally to blame for this blatantly ignoring the Asiata tackles.

They were out for big Dave. They flopped on him and were roughhousing him a lot they second half round his neck etc.

A few times Fifita gestured to the referee who just allowed it to happen. As you say wouldn’t surprise me if it’s how he picked his injury up.

Let’s face it, the standard of refereeing is atrocious. Not only has the standard of SL dropped dramatically over the last 10 years, refereeing has follows suit. The interpretation by some refs is beyond boggling. Until the sport can afford a bunker style system like in the NRL, it will only get worse unfortunately. Don’t get me started on the judiciary, Morgan Knowles getting off last year for example was a disgrace, at the 3rd attempt.

The difference is Saints and a few others don't just sit back and meekly accept things, they scream and fight and usually get their way. We just seem to sit back and suck it up. I am certain that if Saints were continually having to suffer the 'Kendell treatment' they would not stand it and do something about it.

I said exactly the same the other day, to a poster on RWB Army.

Aye, good point. ‘Kendall Treatment’ sounds worse than water boarding.
