just looking on the leeds website and i c we have got a new ref on sunday called richard hicks now my question is,do the RFL go to the clubs and ask permission to put him in place or would they just have put him in charge....plus do u have any views on it....

He's called Robert Hicks I think mate, he's reffed a few York games this year and he's pretty good (by that I mean you don't even notice he's there).



He's a fully licensed RFL referee so they can give him any game they like.

Normally a TJ at most of our games?

You're right.



Yeah, he normally does a lot of SL lines. If you want a preview he is doing the telly game tonight.



He also did the cup game against Blackpool so most of you won't have seen him in live action before in the middle

Think it was the one who got hit on the head with the sweets at the Wigan game?

Correct.

Correct.



Seen him ref the Championship games on Sky a few times. Wonder what the odds are for him being full-time next season?

Zero to none actually.

Is Ganson still injured?

Nope, he's back on deck this weekend.



Thierry Alibert is the crock now.

When is Harrigan going to make the step up?

He can't even keep up the pace with the students...
