Has there been a worse referee in SL in the last ten years? The amount he misses is laughable, obviously you notice them more when there against your own team but I've heard most teams complain about him more than once his season. Are they told to let so much go before they blow there whistle? As for the Tuimavave head high? Not even on report, certainly looked like a card should have been given. Get more touching the refs than attacks to the neck or above.

But he is not the one who has dropped the ball now four times and given away stupid penalties which led to Hudds tries. Our last tackle option is really poor

I completely agree but I'm not on about our awful attacking performance, leave that for another thread. Kendall is so out of his depth as a referee it's a joke. Never checks the defensive line for offside players and seemed to be guessing the rules half the time. We're boring and frustrating to watch as it is, never mind putting up with him aswell.

I suppose you'll be offering your services to referee then. Refs, especially the younger ones, are only human and will naturally make mistakes. Unless your willing to step into their shoes and show them how it's done...

Kendall was poor, however the high shot on CT was not as bad as it looked. Initial contact to the head was there, but it merely knocked him off his stride. The defender then got hold of CTs collar which made it look worse.
That said there were a few baffling ones to say the least, penalty on the fifth which lead to their 2nd try? A no playing advantage on which Houghton touched down for us to be given a penalty?

Good response, no really. Of course he'll make mistakes just like the rest of them, but this is the same referee who I believe when we played Wakey or Cas didn't even know the rules and had to be told by our players that he was wrong. He gave a knock on against Hudds last night then one of our player just kicked it without chase then gave play on to Hudds.

Have they relaxed the fitness requirements? Because he wasn't half struggling. Think that's half the reason he misses so much. Never seen a skinny lad run like such a plodder.
