That MAY have been important in the past.

With the new rules introduced this season, regarding referees and home town clubs - it matters not one jot anymore!

I suppose so butt monkey.

Ah well, I suppose it could have been worse it could have been Klein refereeing Quins vs Saints on Sunday.

But as previous stated, it doesn't really matter. Especially as whilst he might live in London, he's not even from this country so can't have any particular ties to London or the Quins. Just because someone lives somewhere doesn't mean they would be biased towards any particular team. I live in Manchester having previously lived in Lancaster, Sunderland and a town in northwest France, and I've no particular affection for any of those places, they just happened to be where I lived at the time.

In addition, rugby league is only played in a relatively small area, so players - and referees - will probably only come from those areas as well. It is inevitable that referees will come from places which have SL teams, but we've got to at least accept the theory that referees are neutral, no matter where they come from. If not, the whole basis for the game collapses. I have no problem at all with London-based Ashley Clown refereeing London-based Harlequins. Or Ganson refereeing his beloved St Helens for that matter.

Or Ben Thaler refereeing Wakefield.
