Ok. How do you come too that conclusion wirefanatic… Referees are not allowed too referee two corresponding fixtures. Ian Smith the saints/HUDDERSFIELD match and Ben Thaler the WARRINGTON/Wakefield match.
If you go on previous encounters where we have had the referee for a match in 2 consecutive games. (which has only happened once too my knowledge.) was a re-arranged league season game at home against Bradford on a very wet Tuesday Night. (22-22 if memory serves) And the response from Stuart Cummings on this issue was as follows

Hi Paul,
Thankyou for contacting me.
As a rule I do not like putting referees out with the same team on two occasions. I plan the games well in advance and this re arranged game has messed up the system. I looked at changing the referee but this causes problems further down the line.
I hope this helps and I am sure you will continue to enjoy the season in your new stadium.
Regards,
Stuart
