Warrington ref for Warrington game???? : Wed May 25, 2016 10:17 am  

This seems a little odd to me......
Campbell started his career at Warrington and made eight Super League appearances for the Wolves in the 2000 season, scoring two tries, although he did not play against the Rhinos that season. A winger, he also enjoyed spells at Whitehaven, Rochdale Hornets and Oldham Roughyeds. He retired from the professional game following his second stint at Rochdale and went on to be player-coach of Warrington Wizards competing in the National Conference League before eventually hanging up his boots to take up the whistle.

No issue. Russell Smith used to play for us and when he became a ref he was completely impartial in all Bulls/Rhinos games......

No problem with this ref for Friday. He might not be exactly impartial, but he can't possibly be any worse than Silverwood, who was originally down. And I was quite impressed with him at Magic Weekend.

Clearly part of a covert strategy to continually undermine the best run club in SL (that's Leeds BTW) by providing officialdom which clearly favours the opposition.

Leeds haven't lost a single game this season under circumstances which could be deemed fair.

Chris Campbell is from Widnes which should balance things out .

Oh for the ref to be a talking point, it should actually mean we have at least competed in a game for the first time in a while

We had him a fortnight ago against Warrington in his first super league game, although he yellow carded 3 of our players, two of those you'd be hard pressed to argue against.
He did make some mistakes for both sides which evened themselves out, what doubts you have concerning the game should be centred on Warrington, having been well beaten in their last 2 games and not the referee.

Whoever is the ref will be irrelevant since I fully expect to see us lose badly again.

Yep. And have to suffer the flat track bully squad using their full repertoire against us.

the R.L are desperate as the standard of reffing is at an all time low

Mind you the standard of the teams in Super League is also at at an all time low
