Conspiracy claims of bias are barking and just make no sense at all. Refs do seem to be getting worse, and Cummings doesn't seem to be having anything like a positive impact. What I think would help is that if Refs were allowed/encouraged to come out to the media and explain why certain decisions had been made (not Cummings doing anything he can to 'prove' the ref was right!) and their thought processes at the time, and holding hands up to say 'Yup, looking at the pictures we probably got that call wrong but at the time we thought this'.

I say this from experience of having lived over the road from an SL ref for a few years who was well known at the time for 'hating' my team. We used to chat about why he'd gave certain decisions that I'd disagreed with and it was always enlightening to see the other side of the story. I'd still sometimes disagree, but my respect for the guy shot right up after getting to know him and how he viewed a game.

I was also very wary of two refs, but having seen that working really well for a while, I think it's the way to go. I know we don't have enough to do it now, but it should be a stated aim and Cummings should have a plan as to how we get there. Pull your finger out Stuart!!

certainly not at the GB...

Any gripes today from Catalans after a dodgy decision?

Thought not.

Just off to play on my swing and roundabout.

Lets see if its even at the end of the season before chucking one back our way

that was, by a long way the worst reffing performance of the season and one of the worst I have ever witnessed in 45 years of watching our great game

credit to the Catalans who somehow managed to defeat a good Leeds side and a ref who was making bad decisions that beggared belief ! this guy is a disgrace to the profession

he was escourted from the field by security guards - the home fans were beying for blood despite their teams' victory

even the visiting journos and RFL officials were embarassed by this disgraceful attempt though Mr Bentham did fine as VR and it's good to see him back

enjoy you swings and roundabout - try not to fall off and damage your brains
