Until we get robots reffing, they'll make errors. The biggest one in the game was Blanch and the drop out, nothing the ref did.

I'm sure some go just to criticise the ref...he had a fine game, it flowed and had no major flashpoints.

No decision he made changed the game, the ones the players made did, as it should be.

Didn't think he did too badly overall. A sin binning or two would indeed have sorted out the holding down but as someone has said he kept penalising them which was great for us.

Still think there's one or two refs in the NL who should have been given a go in SL before young Mr Child though.

Hope you don't mind input from a Catalans supporter lads.
We were terrible and indisciplined. And I can't understand why Walters stands behind the posts. (Can't see the game flowing). On the refs input, I think it would be good to give him a chance.? Watched two Toulouse games last week, Leahy at Sheffiled -v- Toulouse didn't have a clue, and Gareth hewer at the Widnes -v- Toulouse had a good game although he didn't have a lot to do, apart from fill his book with tries and goals against Olympique. They have to make the step up sometime eh?

If he did not see it which he obviously did not then he could not call it. Therefore he did not give us Martin's try. Any critisism for that must go to the touch judge if we could see it 20yards away then so should he.

Care to guess the name of the touch judge who didn`t call a knock 0n before Martin`s try?









Yes, it was Tony Martin (I kid you not).

Until I saw the name at the bottom I thought you were going to say McBatt

Is this thread a slur on Mr Childs for letting Catalan slow things down or do Catalan get away with it with other referees?????

: Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:07 pm  

He gave us 15 penalties...dont knock the kid !!!!

is 15 the most weve ever been given in a game in SL history?

clearly he hasnt had his full RFL briefing yet....maybe he ought to serve an apprenticeship in front of the south stand and learn properly
