    So has neither team's fans had a run in with him on social media in the build up to the game? If they had, they could do some PR and media with the club involved just before the show piece event...or would that put the referee in a strange position where his decision making could be called into question.? Hmmmmm??

    Also if he waves the tackle count, perhaps stick with it!!

    The only ref to keep the game flowing this season much better than last year, if he doesn't follow any "RFL Instruction" then we should get a fast open game. Has McManus invited him to tea + biscuits tomorrow.

    Many of us on here said we wanted him, just hope he does our faith justice. Based on his performances this year he deserves this appointment

    Could well have caused a riot if he ( Hicks) gave us the same treatment as of that at Wembley ! Clearly the RFL are able to think rationally !

    Think we should throw in clotted cream as it's a special occasion. As we all know it counts for more than the Challenge Cup.

    Kendall has reffed ; Saints twice in SL this season, Rnd.21 Hull FC away and Rnd.26 Leeds away
    Salford six times, won four, lost two (Wigan home and away, Rnd. 7 & 20)

    p.s. Warrington eight times, won six, lost two (Salford…away and home, Rnd.22 & 27)

    I think many of us thought the RFL was going to give it to Hicks just because of EM's questioning of what went on.

    It would seem Club Directors do have some influence Warrington couple of months ago complained in the media about James Child and he had not refffed a Wire game since then, ditto with McManus and Robert Hicks has not reffed a game with us since.

    One of the reasons I like Kendall this year is that being an ex player he is fairly fit and quickly follows play and he seems to get in the right position this season to see and make decisions quickly. Other refs struggle and can't keep up with the speed of the game and allow those extra seconds to get a breather. Robert Hicks is a good ref but he seems to be out of position quite a few times this year and does a lot of guesswork the so called loose carry versus ball strip is one of his weaknesses.

    Shame it does have an influence, the rfl should pick from the pool based on ability, fitness, form etc.

    By talking about them publically it puts them more in the spotlight and makes it harder for the ref, we have a small pool as it is.
