Oh NO !

This is quite funny because we thought we had Salisbury as Ref but pople piled in their observations based on what they saw and it turned out to be Martin Coy who reffed but whoever it was he was poor. Gets panned (not just by me) every time he Refs us - so expect the worst even if you have hoped for the best

At least we shouldn't get Salisbury senior for a while. He went off injured at Oxford on Saturday. Apparently the fourth official, who took over the whistle, was a vast improvement.

Thought he did well could have booked or sent off a couple of theirs but apart from the odd throw in he got wrong one of the better refs we have had

[Donnywolf]

Amazingly I have to give a Ref 3 Points for the second time in a row. That must be a first

He took long enough to Book their 6 who was chopping everything above grass but once he got the hang of it he produced Card after Card and did relatively well

Much better than I have ever seen him before and massively better that the recent Muppets we have had

[drfchound]

It’s a three from me as well.

[Filo]

One of the better refs this season

[The Red Baron]

Once the penny dropped with him that Wilks was being targeted he did well, I thought.

I think it was a case of them not knowing how to stop him other than fouling him, rather than them targetting him
