Wakefield Trinity • Re: Ref

Thought yesterdays ref had an excellent match, not sure what his name is but I really liked the way he managed the game. He allowed the match to flow, he was keen and consistent on the head high tackles. He was not pedantic at the play of the ball, he was talking to players who were not square rather than go straight to the whistle, hate it when refs blow up when the ball is away from the ruck for players not been square. He was very good with the holding down and again was telling players to get up and play the ball rather than milk a pen, he didn't go over the top with that silly hand on the ball stuff, plus I thought he did an excellent job with offside, again talking to players rather that going straight to a penalty. As a result the game flowed, I am not sure how many penalties there were but I think it will have well below average.
He also did a good job with the Wood no try, he was in a good position but went to in goal judge to get confirmation of the knock on. From where I was stood I thought the final pass for the Warrington try was forward, on watching the sky highlights the ref got it right. All in all a top job by the ref.
