Also there is a French touchjudge. It's nice to see that we're helping to develop officials from abroad.www.rfl.uk.com:
Catalans Dragons v Wigan Warriors 7.00pm
Ref I Smith TJ C Sharrad TJ M Maurel (FRA) RR TBC IC TBC VR TBC MC I McGregor
at Stade Gilbert Brutus, Perpignan
anyone read Mike Gregorys Book? he got cheated by a French tough judge once :conf: Should'nt be allowed as it leaves them open to the charge of being biased. If we want to help develop French officials then they should be employed to officiate in games involving UK teams over here.robjoenz posted:Also there is a French touchjudge.

Clint Sharrad is ok as he is Australian, who would you suggest as the other TJ?Should'nt be allowed as it leaves them open to the charge of being biased.

So what are they to do. If he has links or is from the Catalan team area then he should not be involved but if hes from outside any connection with the club then i dont have a problem.DaveO posted:Should'nt be allowed as it leaves them open to the charge of being biased.

We don't develop Wigan based officials by letting them ref or run the line in Wigan matches for the obvious reason and I don't see why this is any different.

I dont hear the french complaining about it being unfair to have 2 out of the 3 officials being English playing a french club in France.DaveO posted:Should'nt be allowed as it leaves them open to the charge of being biased.
