@pcooke06 @TAFKAB2 @WTrinityRL 👏👏👍

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

@pcooke06 @TAFKAB2 @WTrinityRL They have been trying to bring it in for a few years now so it’s easy as a collective to decide to tell their captains not to challenge.
Accept the refs decision and get on with the game. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😳

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

@pcooke06 @TAFKAB2 @WTrinityRL If all 14 coaches hate it even though they were desperate to bring it in, they could all just tell their captains not to challenge the decision of the ref, that would get rid of it without changing the guidelines. Just a thought 🤷‍♂️

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

@pcooke06 @NoHelmetsReq @nigelwis @saints_clips You were a great kicker Paul so you could have done if you would have tried too👏👏
That law has been in for many many decades and it’s never been an issue, just don’t risk it otherwise you have clever players like Ryan Hall that will use it to his own advantage 🤷‍♂️

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

@nigelwis @NoHelmetsReq @pcooke06 @saints_clips You would be surprised how many laws the players don’t know. 🤦‍♂️

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

@NoHelmetsReq @pcooke06 @nigelwis @saints_clips The decision was correct. Other players probably don’t do it because they don’t know the rule

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

Congrats to the 5 people from @MWH_Treatment & 3 from @CostainGroup who passed the 2 Day @MHFAEngland today in Brighton with myself & @jimmygittins from @stateofmindsprt. It's been a real pleasure to spend the last couple of days in your company.

Happy tenth wedding anniversary to my amazing daughter Vicky and son in law Ryan. It was such a honour, pleasure and a huge privilege to be able to walk you down the aisle. X

@greengas62 @TheGameCaller He dislocated his finger making a tackle, that’s not an on report offence

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

@PC99013286 @TheGameCaller Don’t know

Congrats to the latest group of delegates from MWHTreatment who passed the 2 Day @MHFAEngland Course with myself and @jimmygittins from @stateofmindsprt today in Derby. Thank you to Fatima Kulsoom for all her hard work in organising these sessions. Another fantastic group.

@coolio1974hull When I was researching teams I refereed when i was writing my book, every team had lots of stars from the top to the bottom of the league that I can still name off the top of my head and it was a pleasure and a honour to be on the same pitch as them..

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

Just watching the Bradford v Hull FC game and I was lucky enough to referee the same fixture in 2003 and thought I would look at the teams back in the day. Wow some great players in there and 15,000 fans packed in the Odsal and Bradford won 11-10. Great players and great memories

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

@Peppyat I bet it was a close game because I made loads of mistakes (again) 😳😳🤣🤣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

@MrBoring99 @AdrianDearlove I would like to have seen Leslie vainikolo dive in at the corner like the modern wingers do. When he landed it would have been more like volcano 🥰🤣🤣👍👍👏👏

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

@AdrianDearlove Just look at that back line of Bradford. Wow. The forwards weren’t too shabby either

[Ian Smith @Iansmith2468]

@CityBrigzy I had the best view of it all in the house. It was brilliant to be so close to the action 🙏👍
