Got something to discuss about RL in general? Then this is the place to post it.

A new Head of referees, a fast track for ex players, possibly 2 referee system, VR at every game and give James Child a job as a lollipop man (I cannot remember seeing such an inept official for a very long time)

Doubt it - that's a responsible position !

The most inconsistent ref on the list & that includes tonight's comedian.

I thought when I typed it when was the last time I saw such an inept official as Child. I can only think of Gerry Kershaw / Geoff Berry and that is 30 years ago.

Kershaw was brilliantly bad. Many a time he would be about to give a decision, the crowd would roar and he'd change it.

Remove Cummings.
Make the refs accountable.
Allow clubs to challenge a performance and ask the ref or whomever replaces Cummings to meet with a representative of the club to discuss the concerns, and if proved correct the ref should be sent for training to fix the eroprs.
Personally I'm not a fan of the two ref system. It seems to prevent the type of defensive game Wigan play, and means the POTB is too quick, resulting in much more scooting from dummy half, and going away from the passing game.
