Would it be too controversial a suggestion to perhaps say that - after recent refereeing performances - it might be time to replace Mr Cummins? Refereeing is a godforsaken job but - tbh - some of the recent performances at Super League and Challenge Cup level have left a lot to be desired. Perhaps it's time for a change! Discuss!

Id say take them back to being part time. They seemed a lot better beforehand.

But of course that means we're going backwards as a developing sport. A bit like we would if we got rid of the video referee.

If you want to see crap refereeing you should have checked out tonght's McDermott v Fury boxing match - now THAT was crap refereeing :shock:






"phil ford, he's a bit of a stepper
replacing hugh wardell, in jumper no. 15 it's brian case
oooh and he does a bit of a boogie
gregory and gregory, sounds like a firm of solicitors

put the glasses down he's under the black dot"

Sounds of Sydney 1988.

Fantastic Post - In every Sport, officials make good and bad calls.

My only proposal is that RL reverts to a Union style Video Ref system with the, "Is there any reason not to award the Try"? Allowing the VR to check anything.






WARRINGTONIAN!

EVERTONIAN!

CLINTONIAN!

Your spot on. Cummins is a joke imo.

We need a reffing system with some balls.

For a start disciplinary is a joke, the panel needs to make some bigger calls that actually punish teams. The whole nine games thing with Tickle, for example.

Secondly a head ref who will actually punish referees for bad decisions, Soccer leads the way on this, dropping refs down a league and promoting the best ref from the leafue below for a week.

I'd change the roles of the Ref/Touch Judges/In Goal. If 5 officials can't get 95% + of decisions correct between them then.....

this has been mooted on other forums for a while,but why get rid of 1 yes man for another?
got a feeling the original poster was thinking of last nights live game,when he had this thread in mind.
The ref has a very difficult job to start off with and most people when they are actually watching a game at the ground,will only see the team they support and the decisions for and against them.If the game is shown live,then further pressure is placed on the refs shoulders.

I have long since been convinced that certain refs favour or dislike certain teams or players.2 refs from the 70s spring to mind.And I know of 1 sl; ref,whos own mother is a season ticket holder for a sl club,whom they both supported for years.and dont forget that live sky tv games are notoriously dodgy anyway.

For me,the only way forward is get rid of video-refs and give the game back to the ref and 2 linesman.
