Fordy wrote:19 games played - James Child reffed 8 of them, Kendall reffed 4, Hewer 3, Hicks and Moore 2 each. Not a single refereeing appearance for Thaler, Bentham, Mikalauskas or Smith in any of Wakey's games.
Bentham has been injured for a few months after a collision with Chris Houston. Latest rumour is that he'll be back at some point for the 8s.
Smith went part time last year and is mainly linesman for SL games and refs the odd Championship match.
That aside over the last 2 years there does feel to be a heavier weighting in appearances to Child and Kendall. The RFL should monitor this more closely to ensure an even balance.
In recent times I'd welcome Hicks back. Although this year I think Hewer and Moore have been the best refs I've seen at Wakey matches. None get everything right.
