Who cares who the ref is, let's just get on with it and get the job done.

It shouldn't matter but it's just a point of note.

I don't believe anyone was not interested in who the referee was going to be.

All refs will let stuff go in a cup final, still have to be at our best and not get caught offside or drawn into fights with Sims and Bailey when they go looking.

Anyone sitting in the area of the Royal Box? Don't commit the same faux pas as I. 1982 final, Stuart Wright sets off for the line, I jumped up and laid into him with a pretty foulmouthed tirade. A Yank sitting next to me, tapped me on the back and said "I don't think Liz is amused"

George King up before rfl for dangerous contact. Hope the flying pig comes in for him so we can give him an earful

We've only had him twice so far this season - home game against St Helens and Castleford away both of which we won.

It's a surprising choice, I would've thought Thaler or Bentham would get the gig.

He was poor in the Saints game. Can't tell a forward pass from a legal one, although some of that might have been the TJs.

Bentham and Thaler have both annoyed the RFL this season. Guess this is payback.

Well Bentham missed a load of forward passes last week
Its about time the R/L made the linesmen more responsible for picking out forward passes as they should be in line with play and in a better position then the referee
