Head of referees poll : Mon Mar 22, 2010 12:50 am  

This guy has overseen nothing but a reduction in skill level of referees (even now there full time)complication of rules a lack of respect of the rfl. Time for this guy to go and a complete overhaul of referee's.

Anyone else doing such a poor job would have been given marching orders long ago.

No brainer.

But I've wished that he may live in interesting times ever since he red-carded Penguin for a "no case to answer" perceived offence in 1998. So I am biased in that I loathe and despise the man, as well as believing he is totally useless in his present role.

Never liked him since he screwed us at Odsal in either 98 or 99, as the boss of the refs he's brought his incompetence off the field and into the RFL.

Never liked the guy but i doubt he will leave as much as we'd like him to

A bit like most salaried people really. 'You'll get promoted to your true level of incompetence.' He was an awful ref so they got rid of him at that level.

A ref 'past or present' (such as straight talking Fred Lindop?) should be invited to sit with the Sky team every week and offer their opinion on the decisions made during the game.

The referee's are becoming a joke in Sl and killing the game we all love. Not only are they making basic errors the new clampdown on alloowing wrestling at the tackling is making the game a borefest.
I can forgive a ref for making a howler during a game at the end of the day they are only human but to make our game stale and boring is unforgiveable.
