Saints v Leeds

Post by orrsome » 22 Feb 2019, 23:26

Is it me, or are Saints being favoured in reffereeing decisions?
I don’t even like Leeds but tonight Hicks seemed to give every decision that he could for Saints.
Thoughts?????

I think Mr Furner has an opinion on tonight's officiating.

great game to watch as i thought neither team tried to slow down the play the ball but those couple of bad calls against leeds made all the difference. to be fair to hicks though he did let the game flow.

Saints seem even quicker this year. They get a roll on very quickly so will get decisions.

I didn't think Hicks was great but was very happy with the result.

My main point is the way that the VR was used. It seemed like every Saints decision was sent as ‘try’ and every Leeds decision as ‘no try’
As the VR has to have cast iron proof to overturn the on-field decision it allows an element of favouritism without it appearing too obvious.
If there is an element of doubt, why not just send to the VR as ‘try or no try’ with some indication of where the doubt lies?
Seems a much better system to me.

Setting up a petition is a bit much. Every team gets good and bad results and calls.

Its the sending it up as a try or no try thats wrong, either he can see it or he can't.

Every time leeds scored he said i have no try on the field and every time saints scored he said i have a try on the field yet he couldn't have seen any of them
