Oh get a grip, he'd have to do a game sometime. And i'll have you know he's one of the most up-and-coming ref's the rfl have got, it won't be long before he's doing SL games.

I hope TKL is playing, he's the weakest link!

Yes he doesn't play as much as you'd hope but there is simply no better in the Championship then Toa in both attack and defence!

I'd love to hear why he's a weak link?

Didn't do so well against our inferior pack last season did they?

Makali didn't play for us last year.....and I don't think them kids played against Fax did they?

vikingsfan hahaha, well theres more chance of the ref getting into super league than you have!... and if hes the best that is coming through it doesnt say much about the rest does it

Davies is on loan from Wigan and is a great player, Hougton is a home grown monster and fears nobody.

He will fear the beast when he smashes him into Runcorn!!

good piece on boots n all about viking academy this week. good pr to show non SL teams.

Because he breaks easier than a chocolate bunny.



Fair point, but there again we didn't really have much of a pack either so stands to reason.



You just a fanboi (although I'm starting to sway towards fangirl) therefor all your opinions are null and void.

looks like ban may not be needed, said stood him up and his knee went.

As Said didn't even get binned for high shot tonight should be no case to answer for Haggs

Both sides put a number or High shots in, Hicks being the inconsistent **** he is only blew up for the one all game,

If Ronnie Laughton had been the ref tonight christ knows how many penaltys he'd have given

On the contrary, Hicks WAS consistent tonight. His lack of pea-blowing allowed at least some fluidity to the proceedings, it was the handling errors that made the game ugly if anything. I thought he reffed well tonight.

Fair point but no worse than Ganon and Doran tackling with their knees.

Like all fans you only see the ones where you want a penalty. There were plenty of shots that went in high from both sides. Plus some of the grapple tackles that were applied especially the one to worrency in the second half. Don't hear you complaining about your team there.

4 game ban.. pob about right!

He's out injured, though. So, you'll hardly miss him. How bad was he hurt, and how long is he likely to be out?

Won't make a difference as he is injured anyway isn't he?

Should be banned from playing again until Sam Barlow is fit again, he caused it so he should be out of the game for the same length of time as the injured player and then serve his ban on the end of that time.

This would rule out the thug element of the game that is not welcome.

Barlow played on Sunday.

strange thing is - if he had been sent off and banned for the Fax match he would not be injured now

Exactly so i'll agree with the point above.

No idea when he's out until... about the same 3/4 weeks I think but it' all guess work as club never seem o ive indications over injuries really

Seemed like poetic justice to me that, sorry he got injured but if I am honest not in another way he should not have been playing anyway.
