When you look at the turnover of referees at the top end of the game there's obviously something wrong. It's not just experienced ones leaving either. It does not bode well at all. Will the RFL do something about it? Of course not.

Standard RFL procedure for dealing with anything. Bury heads in sand.

I'm sure this has been asked before but here goes: If the refs think they are being let down by the RFL, the clubs and the fans think the RFL are letting the game down, how the hell are these guys still in post?

If it's true that Wood is leaving his post then maybe he's realised the state the game is in and is getting out before the sh*t hits the fan.

The RFL will obviously come up with fail safe solution to this problem.
They will ban any poor performance refs for 12 games and fine them.
Then when they realise that solution will not work, they will set criteria for new refs which is totally unrealistic,
e.g. new refs must start with a 12 game ban, and must be self funded for 3 years.
Except if you are a mate of fat nige's then he will change the rules next season to help you.
Good old RFL
