RigbyLuger Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Just been listening to him on the Forty20 podcast, and he seems to be a very credible speaker the RFL need. Doesn't pretend everything is great, tries to suggest solutions, could be a great asset for wherever the new Red Hall is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Funny you say that because I listened to him a few weeks ago on the same podcast and he was just a yes man, basically insinuating that everything in the game was rosy and didn’t answer a single question properly - exactly like Ralph Rimmer. I deliberately didn’t download this week’s episode because I didn’t want more of the same, will have a listen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMEGA Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I’ve had cause to work with Rob Hicks in the past and have since often chatted with him when our paths have crossed. I have always found him to be honest, friendly & to have great professional integrity. He was a Referee so I get why some will never take to him but I’ve had the chance to really get to know him and he’s a good bloke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggyq Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Hicks comes across as a nice guy who isn't afraid of saying things as they are,he will be a good asset to the RFL I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie tries Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Yep. Intelligent man - seems having the right people in the right jobs is a good idea…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 He’s a good bloke. Rugby league to his bones. Near the end he says some very intriguing stuff about how he is privy to work going on behind the scenes and how different the game will look next year. Sounded really promising.

Dont disagree but its far easier for the refs to stop it for all on matchday, 2 games in and it will be sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorside roughyed Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 He'll be honest and straight talking. He's from Oldham. He was a quality ref and he'll be like a breath of fresh air for RFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree with you, I was at s BARLA/RFL meeting and he came over the same to me as he went on about legal contracts teams, clubs, league's had signed up to with the RFL, seemed at a loss when it was mentioned that these teams, clubs, league's could just fold and reinvent themselves under a different name and then the legal contracts would be worthless Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits. http://www.pitchero....hornemarauders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
