No not Ashley Clown he's in Oz as we all know but the one and only Hi Ho Silverwood. Just checked referee appointments and he's not listed, not even as a video referee anywhere. Has Ashley Clown hid him in his suitcase and took him to Oz ???

We can only live in hope!

i think he's away filming the new James Bond film

Has Klown left for good?

Here's Hoping

There seems to be a fair few ref's making the step up to Superleague this season with it's expansion. I just hope the standard doesn't drop

Yeah, im guessing because the RFL are looking for 1 new official and both Leahy and Hewer are appointed this weekend they have narrowed it down to 2. They might give them a few games and rotate the other 6 full time refs for the next 3 games.

No, just 2.

The Full time refs from last year are:

Ganson
Silverwood
Bentham
Thaler
Smith

Alibert has been promoted and the final spot will be between Leahy and Hewer (you know, fight to the death kinda thing) That will be decided over the next few weeks on the games they will be given. My money is on Leahy.

Klown was never the worst, the worst by a country mile is Bentham, IMHO he should practice free fall sky diving in deep sea diving equipment

I agree with this, can't stand Bentham. Klown wasn't ... TERRIBLE ... for us last year, although the 2006 debacle at Wigan stands out firmly in my mind.

Heard from a reLIEable source he has a month long turn at Batley Variety club but he isn't going down well with the locals, oh silly me that was last year when he met a few locals !!!

check out these stats from slstats www.slstats.org/Referees/12/Ashl ... Games.html he nearly averaged one card per game against us!

can never forgive klein for that wire game at home, when he blatently cheated to cost us the game.

What standard???
