Can't help but think 20 April 2021 will go down in history as a seminal day for a number of reasons but none more so important than those verdicts in Minnesota. The world now must listen and change for the better

asked for scientific evidence that hospitality sector is driving the increase in infection. Answers by saying its "common sense." Seriously, is he the best they can put up at such critical time? Since when was common sense a science? No wonder it's a mess

Another devastating loss. Not sure how to put in to words how good a person Ian was. Thoughtful, admiring and always willing to share. Thoughts with Ian's family may he rest in peace
The Rugby Football League sends the deepest condolences to the family and friends of Ian Laybourn, the former Press Association Rugby League correspondent who has died at the age of 67.

Matt Thomasson & Andy Smith return to the MO Dept. Our officials do a sterling job but need help & guidance. For them to have the ability to listen learn & use the experience of former officials is vital to their long term progression
Great to be back as a consultant Match Officials Reviewer offering coaching points to the
@RFLReferees
and hopefully contributing in a small way to a positive, constructively-critical and professional environment.
