Last week at the KC was the first time I've seen a touch judge have to come on the field and tell the ref what to do.
No disrespect to the bloke, but he doesn't seem to be ready for Superleague.

that was exactly how he was for Hull-Cas last week, favoured neither side, just baffled them and the crowd with erratic decisions. He isn't up to the standard, but we have little other choices with the ref shortage.

against wakefield 2 weeks ago it was our head and feed in the scrum but pointed to wakefield the guy creates confusion.

He did that tonight early on. Pointed the scrum to Saints, then Wakefield put the ball in, that's why there was all that confusion from the scrum in the first half.

He made some odd decisions, but it didn't alter the end result.

All week we have heard the press saying this wasn't about the result etc but about the young lad who passed away.

Both teams were affected, so maybe the referee was as well.

Not the best of night's for either side, but a great crowd tribute to an unfortunate event.

Almost felt that this game should not have been played and both sides given a bye.

Life does go one though.

I totaly agree with every word of that, thought the ref was a totaly clueless at times for both sides, but hey i don't care.

RL won last night

Because you couldn't get off your backside and do better?

He definatley gets the award for the ref with the most annoying voice.

I think he made a few strange desisions, but tbf to him I have seen games he has contolled reasonably well, its his firts year in SL ( i think) and he should be allowed to make mistakes if he learns from them in the future, just as young players would.

Perhaps not the man for the job last night though with all that went on.

Omfg how the hell has this numpty landed himself in Super League??? He only started reffing NL1 last season and was an utter imbecile back then...

It's sm gone mad. He shouldn't even be allowed to ref amateur level games.

Worst ref ever.

I remember him reffing a Game at Doncaster against Halifax about 4 years or so ago. He's been about since then

I didn't think he was great tonight, however I have been impressed with him the last few times I have seen him. He is definitely getting much much better and as good as many others. Sometimes his signals and the fact that his English isn't brilliant doesn't help us to understand what he has given, but he is ok.
