My point is that unless you look at the game in a completely unbiased manner and develop the knowledge of the laws of the game that any match official has, then you won't realise just how good the guys at the top really are.

He has plenty of experience and if he wasn't any good, why would he have been given the job?

He is in the comp because he is French simple as. He is crap for all teams so this seems to even things out a little and i understand the bloke is on a learning curve.
If you can't see this bloke is crap you really have the blinkers on.

Really. Do I? I don't see any justification here from anyone as to why he is "Crap," just a few comments that he is. Have the people suggesting that he is "Crap" ever picked up a copy of the 'Laws of the Game' and are they familiar with the RFL's operational rules? Or is it purely a case of unsupported opinion based on him awarding a few penalties against us on Friday?

I can't comment on Friday's game, Hull on a Friday is a no-no without a day off work and an overnight stay – but every time I've seen Thierry Alibert ref, whether live or on TV, I've been generally impressed.

As i said in my post though, he missed stuff for both sides

Infact, towards the end of the game we kicked the ball out on the full and he awarded Hull a 20 metre restart
