I'm a new ref, and I found your account trying to find referee POV's and you are what I needed! I have watched you since I started reffing at the start of August and I have learned so much from you!
Mate this is a toughie game. League leader decider, loud crowd and on your own. There's some errors I've made in here but I've reffed it as I've seen it and to be honest it is so easy to be influenced. Keep going and hopefully you'll leapfrog me in a few years 👍
Yes it's hard knowing you've made a wrong call but important not to look to even it up, things naturally "even up" just reffing as you see it. If you don't have a clue then as you know benefit of doubt etc etc but communicating with teams benefit of doubt, or if you see it you will give it, Teams generally respect it, even if not agree with it
Question: you put westgate on a team warning for high tackles, next tackle is a high shot from 5 and hand in face, should 2 not have got 10 for the high shot? I know you can only give what you see and sometimes you don’t see it. Good game though 👍🏻
Great question and observation. I will answer with my interpretation - other refs may have others. @27:37 When the team warning is issued. 2 tackles later I penalise 2 for 'hands in face' which isn't the same as a high tackle. In the tackle, I agree, his arm does come around high as they take him to the ground, but the intentional pressure is on the chest, in my opinion, and not penalised. However when 2 gets him to ground both his hands are planted on the ground where he brings his left hand back into the Toll Bar players face, this is what the penalty was for, and therefore not the offence Westgate were on the team warning for. Glad you enjoyed the game. 👍

@@RugbyMadDad thank you! And it's a pain when you know you have made the wrong decision, one of the worst feelings ever!

Tough game to ref that. Thought Toll Bar had it. No need for that player to call you a cheat at the end. Well done ref.
Did an impressive job today with a lively team and crowd 👍
It was a toughie I was saying to a colleague. Thank you 👍

Thanks for that 👍🏻
Doing a better job than Jack Smith pal
What a joke that kick was never over
I still think it's a tight call. There's a disallowed Westgate try here too which is a wrong call so plenty of mistakes to pick at.
So looking at this video you can say that kick at 32 32 was over ???
UP THE WEGGYYYYYYY
Live call I thought it was over. Everyone gave it their best shot, including me, good luck in the play offs 👍
