This is the issue that mcmanus has opened, by questioning the ref its now open season for anyone with an agenda (bitter wire fans) to now do the same after every game.
Just watching the replay and not one bad call in the first 40.

I’m sure when Jack Ashworth got penalised as off side Kendall was shouting “George! George! You’re offside!”
Thought he had a good game overall though...
They’re all just bitter and jealous - as we would have been if it had been Wigan/Wire/Leeds
Let them.
I'm made up McManus had the balls to speak up about Hicks, his cosy relations with Wire, and the disgracefully one-sided reffing display in the CCF, which has ultimately robbed us of a clean sweep and given those w**kers in Warrington some smug bragging rights.
If it means we get equal treatment in other finals, then perfect.
Other fans still whinge about the Withers knock-on all those years ago so screw em.
Millward built up a brilliant siege mentality and I'd be happy with that returning.
I was surprised when he was interviewed on the pitch we did not have a rendition of "he fell over"
This type of game is what's needed to bring in the crowds fast good open rugby no trying to con the ref into a penalty no grubbing about on the floor where 2 more players join in the tackle just to try and reef the ball no sly punching played with a great attitude by both teams it was great to watch

Agreed, i have no doubt the standard of officiating has been mentioned to the RFL by clubs over the last few years behind closed doors, but it looks like there has been little movement by them. It seems like McManus had had enough of not getting a satisfactory response that he decided to bring it out in to the open, to put pressure on the RFL, not the referees, to improve standards. Nothing has been said about Warrington not having James Child since the Catalan incident, it seems like the RFL made a decision to not have him referee them.
If you watch Welham he wasn't even looking in the direction of the play when the scrum broke but then complained when he realised he'd been caught out

He missed the Hastings forward pass for Bibbys try and the call against Dudson he got wrong as Smith was all over him. They were the only big ones he got wrong.
