Dear Lord, I just hope the clock doesn't need stopping...

When it comes to refs its not about who is good and who is bad, its about finding the best from a terrible bunch. Lets be honest they are all rubbish.

The question is...would you prefer a competent ref who is biased like all Australian refs when reffing a Test in which Australia play or biased like many English refs who have a history of disliking Wigan or Alibert who is always neutral but not so competent. I prefer Alibert. And, He has improved.

You'll be ok. He's easily influenced Alibert - he tends to make decisions based on the crowd or what his touch judges tell him.

Good luck anyway. Even though I'm a Saints fan I hope you win.

Terry Albert should referee the WCC for sure. It's the only fair choice, as he isn't English and isn't Australian.

I would always want Saints to beat an Australian team...or even a Yorkshire team in a final.
