I think he lives down here now so he always gets the gig when we play at home.

So for our 4 games we have had Albert and Blonde sod from the NL 1 twice each. The word is you get each ref 3 times per season. When are they going to inflict Thaler and Ganson on us????

Both away from home and both big sides(saints/rhinos)

Don't have a problem with Alibert, he comes without the parochial baggage that many of the others do.

Where did this word come from? Is this new? Scanning my memory from previous seasons I can't remember it being the case. Certain faces we usually see much more than others.

iirc, it was in the news that every team would be ref'd 3 times by each ref' during the season
