All banned players get the details of their offence published, only fair we see the same transparency when a referee is guilty of a specific offence too.

It’s the second time in 4 weeks, probably due to his inept video reffing during FC games. He gets a weekend in the sun though.

.... he's a linesman this weekend, no mention of him being "stripped" of a game on the rfl website, just in the media.

Rumour has it, it was the game against Cas I think where he denied an FC try that Hicks sent up as a try, not sure which one though.

Do you mean the game against Leeds?
The more i watch it replayed the more i find his ruling disturbing given his other errors against HKR ruling out two good tries.

Re: Leeds. Magic Weekend : Thu Sep 09, 2021 4:57 pm

Apologies yes it was, I know he disallowed three tries and only one was the correct and obvious decision, some fans on the Wakey board thought it was when he didn't send an iffy Wakey try upstairs against shudds at the Newcastle last weekend, but apparently it was at your game against Leeds, small comfort eh.
