Saints had him for our away game at Huddesfield and to be honest he wasn't that bad
It's Ian Smith thats the worst Ref in Superleague as he was the Ref when Hull KR beat us and that was an excuse as he robbed us (even Dick Turpin wore a mask)

It was quite easily the worst officiating I have ever seen. 2 perfect examples.

1. The spear tackle was a very dangerous one and was rightly penalised however the tackler wasn't even put on report! never mind sin-binned or sent off! Shocking decision regarding an issue we are supposed to be stamping out of the game.

2. Cas put a bomb up in the air (on the last tackle) which everyone let bounce. The ball bounced back towards the cas player who caught it and was then tackled. The ref then gave a handover back to Cas! Cas were tackled on the last and still hand the ball when he wanted to "handover" the ball back to them. Its not even a school boy error as even a school boy can see you cant hand the ball BACK to the team that have still got it! Imbecile.

I hope to never see him spoil a game in SL again.

thats exactly what he did his ineptness spoilt the game from the minute we kicked off.

Thought he was fine generally. The one thing I would pick up on is his failure to consistently signal the last tackle early enough, if at all. He did it at least a couple of times last night (our last set and one for Cas towards the end when they also scooted instead of going for the DG being the notable examples) and has done it a couple of other times in games that have been on Sky. It's poor and really needs to be sorted as it can (has?) and will cost teams points.

You are entitled to your opinion mate,and I respect that,but I totally have to disagree with you.The times he let offsides and laying on go ,was to me amazing.Plus the tackle on Cusack,the fact he lost count of the tackles,blah blah.

The ref was a disgrace. Don't you find that ALL Super League officials seem to have it in for both Hull sides at the minute??

My only biff with the ref last night was the deliberate slowing down of the Play the ball .
