Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

What did we think of standard of play for a top of the table clash?
I couldn't help but think that the standard was a little down on what I would expect.
Maybe a tad unfair to compare it to Saints V Leeds from late 00's, but didn't seem as intense as those encounters were.

there were a few dubious calls last night against both teams, the penny try (could have been disallowed by another set of officials,although i personally thought it was fine)
the ratchford "try"
the knock on against goulding ( again some officials would have given it)
the penalty against singleton for passing off the ground
however despite these, it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game,Warrington would still have won.

Im not so sure, all those incidents go the other way than they did and you have a very different game.
Even just taking the Singleton no try, Leeds were picking up momentum and that would have made it 18-12 with a fair bit to go.
However, I'm not blaming the officials for Leeds losing, Wire were the better side.
What I will say is that I don't think the new VR rules are actually working, that ratchford 'try' was a clear no try and shouldn't have been given but I think the VRs seem hesitant to overturn any decision at the moment.

| Quote ="Superted"Just another bad call on the night - watching it back on Sky, did anyone else pick up Phil Clarke saying 'thank you, thank you, thank you' when that decision was given? He was delighted, you could hear the relief in his tone - even if it had been a correct call, Clarke shouldn't be responding to happenings in the match like that'"
I think that relates to his piece on Sky Sports website about players being allowed to "go back and play it again" when passing after the "held" call or carrying on running when they think they haven't been tackled. He argued that if you play on after you've been tackled, you should be penalised as you would have been in previous years.
I got the feeling that he was praising the fact that instead of Bentham telling Singleton to play the ball again, he was actually giving (as it turned out, incorrectly) a penalty.
While I'd agree that Clarke's "anyone but Leeds" bias has been in full flow ever since the flak he got for his "rugby gods" column on Danny McGuire a few years ago, on this occasion I don't think that was the case. No doubt he'll be back in the full Cherry And White cheerleader costume for next week's game against Wigan though. | | | |

Ah fair enough, I've not seen Boots N All - he gets the benefit of the doubt this time then..... Just...
