A year long topic to discuss/praise/berate the good/average/useless folk officiating our matches in 2012

At last, a proper referee...

Our very good friend...

Doncaster v Sheffield Eagles 3pm
Ref W Turley TJ C Dean TJ C Hancock RR D Butler MC G Fairbairn

It won't be a problem because he'll be fresh as he's had no school this week.

I'd like to amend my match prediction.

Turls was excellent when he did the Salford-Leigh friendly. He even gave the crowd a wave!

We had WT vs Widnes and he had a real shocker. It seemed as if the Widnes players were running the game.

I'm sure he's more experienced and mature now.

Here's hoping for a good performance from 2 sides and the officials.

Ref I Scott TJ T Hargreaves TJ G Moore
At Mount St Marys

Anybody going?

Yes, I'll be there - U15s team has lots of Chargers players. I think they'll find this a lot more difficult than the league game they played at the weekend.

Robert Hicks has dropped to number 2 in the Eagles popularity chart

Mr Thoma...son, Mr Thomason now has his own song an it's not even derogatory.

After all the penalties he gave against us in the second half, I now propose that we boo every ref on and off the pitch, even before the game has started. This ingenious plan will surely give us an advantage and will result in Halifax being down to 9 men after 5 minutes.
