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
That was 5 years ago.
Anyway, if you want to throw evidence at me, I'll chuck some your way just to show what you have showed me is incorrect. Take this season for example:
When we played Wigan in Round 14 at home, that game was refereed by Ben Thaler. In our Round 15 game, we played away at Castleford. Guess who the referee was then................yep, Ben Thaler.
Thaler also did it again with Celtic. He refereed their Round 5 game away at Hull KR, then refereed them a week later in their Round 6 fixture at home to Wakefield.
Phil Bentham reffed Saford in Round 16 when they played at home against Catalans. A week later, he refereed them again in Round 17 when Salford played away at Hull.
I thank you.
