He's even too good to ref Celtic Vs Salford, with no offense to either side. Lets hope we don't get him at Murrayfield eh ?

What summed it up for me was when he didn't have a clue what to give and had to run accross the pitch to his touchjudge to give FC a clear hand over.

Totallly out of his depth for mine. The ten was very erratic from 8 to 12 depending on the speed of the play the ball and his ability to get back. Erratic in his penalties for holding down with some similar incidents resulting in penalties and other not.
Never in command of the game or earning any espect from the players, hence the constant bickering at him. Don't know if it's a language barrier of not but certainly not up to SL level.
On the balance of play however was equally poor for both teams and did not make any game breaking mistakes or decisions.

i never said it was.

Anybody know what Cummings has actually done to improve refereeing standards in our game since he took charge ? Was given a budget for full time referees but that appears to have made no difference at all in standards. Instead we have to put up with a 'token' frenchman who was so far out of his depth reffing a Super League game it was unbelievable. There may not be a plethora of refereeing talent available but the bloke who reffed Fax v Widnes (forget his name) would at least be able to keep up with play and count. Not good enough it's Cummings who should be the first one down the road. Time for a shake up.

Totally agree

Well said. Cummings is stealing a living IMO.

Are you deliberately missing the point or are you really that dense??

NO-ONE is blaming the ref for Hull's loss!!! We all know why we lost and I believe there's not one fan who hasn't congratulated Cas on their win!!

Have you completely disregarded the Cas fans saying the self same thing we are about the ref because it doesn't suit your theory??

It was quite easily the worst officiating I have ever seen. 2 perfect examples.

1. The spear tackle was a very dangerous one and was rightly penalised however the tackler wasn't even put on report! never mind sin-binned or sent off! Shocking decision regarding an issue we are supposed to be stamping out of the game.

2. Cas put a bomb up in the air (on the last tackle) which everyone let bounce. The ball bounced back towards the cas player who caught it and was then tackled. The ref then gave a handover back to Cas! Cas were tackled on the last and still hand the ball when he wanted to "handover" the ball back to them. Its not even a school boy error as even a school boy can see you cant hand the ball BACK to the team that have still got it! Imbecile.

I hope to never see him spoil a game in SL again.

Missing the fifth tackle and having to ask the touch judge said it all for me.

( Cabman mode) I AM NOT BLAMING HIM FOR OUR DEFEAT THOUGH.(Cabman mode )
