It seems to me, that reading these boards, certain coaches teams break certain rules more than others , that would suggest certain coaches ' coach ' their players to break certain rules

" Simples " ,as the furry animal says, something that would apply to you it seems

He is 'Match Official Director' so is in charge of every ref in the UK however he has many people below him who look after different groups.

For example, Ian Smith looks after the Championship refs whilst James Child looks after academy touch judges

My favourite thing with the media is not the mid spelled names, but their lack of ability to put the correct picture with a name. Eg there will be a article on Sam tomkins with a picture of kev sinfield attached

I think someone has got their maths a bit skewiff there.

Julie Stott - Defunct News Of the World rugby league reporter tells us all the credibility we need to give to this heap of trash reporting.

What is Smiths role?

He's mainly in charge of the Championship refs so handles their training and appointments.

It cant be a hard job managing 6 or 7 Refs.

Reviews of the last game. Look at areas for improvement.

Discuss improvements and issues as a group.

Nominate Refs for forthcoming fixtures

Work with development team in ensuring there is a refs development programme

Be interesting to see his Job Description and his KPI's annually

He's in control of about 10.

The problem is, only 3 of the regular Championship refs have a full-time contract which makes his job harder.

It's not the world's hardest job but someone has to do it.
