Refs have a bigger impact on the game than most people realise.
Here's a point...Many tries come from penalties. Who awards the penalties? If the ref chooses not to award a penalty as sometimes they don't then this will affect the score.
It's rubbish to say don't blame the ref, it's always the players fault.
A ref could give 'not square' at most play the balls.
A ref could penalise the defending team for not having 2 feet on the line on EVERY occasion.

And without the ref there would be no game. Hey ho, we've gone full circle.

Think you are both thinking of Gareth Hewer who is from Whitehaven and did the Salford game.

Leahy is from Dewsbury and did the pre season friendly at Huddersfield. Competitively we've not had him before.
