[Chris Black come back]

Thought he was good today. Let the game flow and got on the right side of the decision on the hard tackles. Cards where they were needed. Have had a lot worse than him.

[Filo]

Thought he was crap, let Hanlan get pulled about all over

[roversdude]

Tried to let the game flow some of his decisions were a little ponderous but a decent performance (in comparison to some of the refs we’ve had recently)

[Donnywolf]

Tried to let game flow but riddled with errors for both Teams.

Followed his mantra of not letting his issue of a Yellow Card affect his ability to issue a second one though ! A point for that

I thought he let Number 10 off far too lightly though when HE was trying to Ref the game and noticeably got away with doing it far too long. Yes I know he was Captain but even after a warning he clearly dissented the West Stand Lino who alerted the Ref who theatrically ( as he was the star yesterday in case you didn't notice ) called him 15 yards and still didn't produce a Yellow

Thought Ref was foxed by our Green Shirt , confusing us with Ireland RU Team and so allowing all the rucking and mauling all over the Pitch

[Champagne Super Rovers]

Not as bad as some we've had but that's not saying much.  I thought some of his decisions were quite bizarre. Although we benefitted from more than we suffered from.
