Correct and we will never get these with Stuart Cummins in charge.

We're in a better position than the Aussies in that we could use the same ref twice as distance to travel isn't as big a problem.

Ganson & Silverwood could for example officiate the Saints/Wire game on Friday and then Silverwood & Thaler could ref our game.

We don't have 7 referees good enough in my view, never mind 14! Asking refs to double up is a non starter. You have to take into account the trips to France and I bet it's more demanding that you think!

Obviously when the Dragons are at home you lose 2 refs that weekend, but the point is that they have a controlling ref and a secondary ref. No reason imo why a ref couldn't control one game and be the secondary ref for another.

Before we start this we need to get the touchjudge officials to grow a pair! How many times, do we the fans spot a knock on or a forward pass or even players offside, and the touchjudge who is five yards away cannot see it or doesnt want to interupt play due to his level of authority.

However if there is an incident like Pat's obstruction at Odsal then they are on the pitch straight away, waving their little flags.

I think this needs to be sorted first. The ref Child has stepped up well from being a touchjudge to a ref, however ref's like Ganson IMO are too arrogant to refer to a touchjudge.

Well thats punishing Catalans surely?

I meant that two refs can't double up due to the travelling

its clearly working in the NRL . dont think it will be too long before its intruduced here

Looks like the RFL are dropping Ref's if they have a bad game what made me look i noticed
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats v Salford City Reds 3.30pm
Ref G Hewer

so i looked who had been put in charge of a lower league game.
Barrow Raiders v Featherstone Rovers 6.30pm
Ref I Smith TJ D Butler TJ P Wharton RR L Todd TJ Coach B Sharrock MC P Lee

Wonder what he did wrong
