Phil Clarke asks if referees apply the rules or manage the match

Image: What is the role of the referee?

'Play On' shouts the referee but the player does not hear him and the referee penalises him. His crime is that he rolled the ball back to a team-mate behind him using his foot, just like they do when they play the ball after being tackled.

The marines are coming!
The players in the Super League have to go through some pain this weekend with two games so close together and extra sacrifices will have to be made. It is nothing, though, in comparison to the sacrifices and efforts made by the rugby league players whom serve in the armed forces. Fatigue and pain takes on a new meaning for the guys who love to pull on a rugby league kit when they are not pulling on their military uniforms. As well as the World Cup this year, there is also a Defence World Cup taking place in the UK and some of the players hoping for selection will be taking part in an event on Sat 13th of April when Wigan St Patricks - one of my junior clubs - take on the Royal Marines. The game will be held in memory of Steven Darbyshire and Liam Elms, both played for St Patricks and went on to serve in the Royal Marines before sadly losing their lives overseas. Good luck to the Marines in this and all the other teams in the Defence World Cup later this year. For more information on Wigan St Patricks v Royal Marines click here
