[QUOTE="DuncTheDoodle, post: 283389"] Quite possibly the worst refereeing I've ever seen in a HEC game. The first try was both held up and short, but was still awarded. Powell brushes shoulders with Peel- yellow Card. Fifteen mintues later, he's on the end of a high tackle that could have broken his neck, the ref sees it and merely awards a penalty. If he's being consistant, it really should have been a red. He gave three knock ons/forward passes a good 40 seconds later because the crowd said they where. That trip on Cohen? Really should have been a carding- For Cohen. It was like watching Football. The guy deliberatly runs into Jenkins when he's kicked the ball, and does an OTT dive, just to win a penalty. The ref then hears the crowd, and -Not wanting to be on the wrong side of the large number of people- gives the penalty. While I'm at it, I can understand why he gave the call on Gareth Williams' shoulder charge, but it didn't really look to warrent a penalty to me, and he blew up late again. I feel even more like I was watching Football for abusing the ref, but I'm just a little annoyed about this whole ordeal. Oh, and couldn't he have gone to the TMO for Halfpenny's no-try? I know Sowden-Taylor scored seconds later, but I like our Leigh. [/QUOTE]
