Ian Smith to Officiate Bulls v Rhinos : Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:31 pm  

Will take charge of Bradford v Leeds and will ensure we beat you by a good 12 points.

That man in the tv van will be Mr Alibert from Tarn.

.... quite incredibly will be making his debut for this particular SL Regular Round fixture.

With no previous we'll just have to wait and see who he is biased in favour of.

In fact this will be the first time he has controlled any Leeds V Bradford 1st grade fixture anywhere.... ever.

Even the RFL appear to have demoted the importance of Bradford to that of cannon fodder these days.

rubbish

They know only too well that Ganson gives you the game asn BENTham will only give us a draw (16-16).

But at least you had Silverwood who gave Donald THAT try that never was in which it took him three minutes to make the call and still get it wrong.

This could be the end of Mr Smith.

His last TV game was a farce. If I was synical, I would suggest that Mr Cummings is tightning the noose.
