Citing Officer: Paul Hull.
Is that the ex Bristol full back? Do we ever get Buster White for our matches?

Mind you, as an exponent of the dark arts, I'm sure Buster knows much more about what goes on for citing purposes.

The very same.

Not to mention Bristol's head coach for a couple of years more recently.  But we have definitely had Buster in the past.  Citing official doesn't have quite the same direct impact on the game as other officials, so I see no issue with it.

Me neither. Just thought it was interesting. I don't know if Karl Dickson ever gets to ref Quins. I don't think that would be a problem either.

Don't mind Carley as a ref, bit more pedantic than a few I think, but that's not always a bad thing!

I can't complain about David Rose as I finally forgave him after the last match he when he was TMO.

Not sure if he has reffed yet but  I think ran the line at last years final between Quins and Chiefs

I don’t think a good ref, and they have to be good to get to and remain at Premiership level, has time to be biased, without it being really obvious.  At which point down the leagues they go.

Yes, he has fulfilled that role at our matches.

I quite like Carley. He’s a bit fussy but he doesn’t generally miss much due to the fact that he’s looking harder for it.
