Post by: Shugs on October 05, 2022, 04:10:24 PM: Why do we get so many new refs. We’ve already had Woodthorpe.

Post by: Peej on October 05, 2022, 04:27:57 PM: Because they have to go somewhere. And it's easier to give them to the worse teams as it's less high profile and pressured. Which is us.

Makes sense.

Really? If we and Saints are the worst teams it must be one hell of a league.

Post by: Raggs on October 06, 2022, 09:06:14 AM: I think last time I remember Leal reffing us, it was when the old TMO completely pulled his trousers down with Biggar deserving a yellow for a clearout etc. TMO got fired a couple of days after for that.

One advantage with Leal is he'll definitely be able to keep up with the game, he's rapid.

8th playing 10th in a 12 team league.

Shouldn't matter. More likely to be fractious thus demanding better control.

:) . After 3 games. As Neils says I’d be hugely surprised if allocation of refs is based on league position anyway.

Post by: Peej on October 06, 2022, 11:02:16 AM: I'd be surprised if it isn't at least partially based on that and whichever game is on tv.

Who is reffing the other games this weekend?
