That's probably why we need a bigger pool of fulltime refs, so we can do that. But then of course there is the money needed to employ these refs.

If we had say 7 Full time refs in SL and the same in the CC then it would probably be ok and a good idea to demote them if they aren't performing. However the performance of refs can be interpreted in different ways so there would need to be a proper referees performance department made up of ex-players etc..

1. Championship, lower league etc

2. Temporary dependant on his performances at that level.

3. A full review of referees money is needed, should be a set amount depending on what league you are officiating in.

4. See answer 3

5. Replace him with best performing referee from the Championship/lower level.

Yup I can see how that will really encourage more people to take up the whistle

Should have been no surprise given that he succeeded another in Cummins.

Although in fairness it's Sharp that does the overseeing; Ganson is in charge of training and development IIRC.

That ginger lad will be the next one to step up, the one who runs the line in Superleague. He's a decent ref. Tall & imposing figure.

Best hope he's got a strong character, being a ginner AND a referee would be too much for most people to bear

He would feel at home then at CP, we might even get some decisions in our favour!

Is it to late to sign this petition ? Terry hallibut was p#ss poor lats night

It must be true as i read in the sun this week the rfl are seriously looking in to having 2 ref for matches next season.
As rugby league is woth 30 million plus a year surley as a sport it needs better officials.
I find it strange when Stuart Cummins was in charge of refs he never had a bad word to say about them,now sky pay his wage he has slipped off the fence.

Hoards will sign it now after Silverwood failed to refer Cox's try to the VR. Useless get.

Were are these new refs going to come from refs have been slagged off since the dawn of time and nothing will change no matter who it is
