We really don't understand why the RFL appoint referees to officiate in matches involving their local teams. We don't believe, and have never seen any evidence, that referees are biased towards their local teams but it puts extra pressure on them. In fact, if anything, the pressure is on them to over compensate the other way to prove that they are not biased. This week's referee is from the Dewsbury and Batley referees society although we believe he is actually from Batley rather than Dewsbury.
