We often criticise through this site the apparent lack of imagination of those responsible for appointments when we see the same refs being allocated to the same teams within a short time.
Well I see Rugby League has excelled all this week. In the opening round of matches last week Robert Hicks did St Helend v Wigan. This weekend, Round 2, he has Wakefield at home to........St Helens.
Yes, I know there are not as many games , nor are there as many refs but this does seem a little lacking in thought from the powers that be.
