Hicks : Sun Feb 21, 2016 11:15 pm  

Ok, nobody's mentioned it.

Hicks was appalling.

1) Dubious sin bin
2) No team warning for Wakey after numerous infringements all similar
3) No yellow card when tackling Dixon in the air in a try scoring move
4) Double movement is a penalty not a scrum - does he not even know the rules to misinterpret them?

We looked clueless at times but Wakey parked the bus and played spoiling tactics deliberately and constantly that went unpunished. All power to them for trying it but Hicks did nothing.

Re: Hicks : Sun Feb 21, 2016 11:32 pm  

I think he also gave a fair few awful (was going to say terrible, but some pillock over used that earlier) decisions against Wakey.

I'd really like to look at a different angle for Dixon's no try, he appeared to have the ball in both hands, I didn't see him ground it and then a penalty was given against Wakey, is that not a penalty try?

Like I said, I didn't have the best view, and I'm also hopeless at the laws of the game.

There were multiple baffling decisions, Kelly clearly lost control of the ball, penalty to us, it's a hard game to officiate but come on these people are paid professionals.

You are having a laugh, hicks was awful but Wakey were on the wrong end of more dubious calls than KR. Admittedly our discipline was poor but some of his calls were shockers.

Penalty count is meaningless, he is just a poor referee, never took control of the game at all and it descended into farce with penalties being given for god knows what.

Most fans will say he favoured the opposition but in all honestly he was equally as bad both ways.

Did make me laugh when you look at his decisions and work out the one thing it couldn't have been was what he gave. the double movement one near the end was a classic, the one thing it couldn;t have been was a scrum but that was the decision, baffling.

Re: Hicks : Mon Feb 22, 2016 11:05 am  

He set the tone early on when I blew up early on against us and then seemingly reciprocated next set or so in our favour. I had thought that Hicks had improved a bit of late, but he was the old unsure, whistleblowing, clueless official he was/is.

For the dbl movement decision - his touch judge gave a knock on when he attempted to reach out.

What about the kick that hit the wakey man in the face, hicks deems it played at and resets tackle count about 15m out! That stood out but Hicks needs to let games flow a bit more.
