Regrettably, it is possible to be both.

He made the jesture to put a desicion up to the video ref on Saturday until he realised there wasn't one and then ran over to the touch judge to his red face.

I'm going to put my neck on the line and say the gap between the Super League and the NRL is bigger for the referees than it is for the players. Why is Stuart Cummings not called into account by the RFL and made to show what he is doing about it on Boots n' All and the Super League Show, his response would be to show the development that the RFL is doing at grass-roots level, amateur level, through to the full-time officials and what the authorities are doing to make sure the refereeing team do not allow forward passes and can recognise a forward pass. I have seen as many forward passes in five or so games at the Stoop this year as I have seen in the previous five years there.

That's awful.

I know its not exactly his fault, more of the time-keepers, but as I said above, they played 10mins extra in the first half for the Cru-Wire game at the Racecourse. Even though we have a time-keeper in Rugby League, the referee should still keep looking at his watch. For that to happen at this level is a disgrace (just our luck for Wire to score 3 tries in that period too).

*Incase you think I may have got this wrong, Wire scored 3 tries in the 40th minute, that isn't possible.

I don't think Robert Hicks is the worst official (Child has to be !), but for big error at the level, he is the worst.

The annoying thing about one of the decisions was that he spoke to the in goal who gave it & then he ran to the touch judge furthest away who was stood by the flag 50 metres away on the try line who then didn't give it. A TJ not giving it is OK but when they are stood by the flag that means all is OK but did not see the grounding-If he was 5 metres up the touch line then he has seen an offence/problem
