Right then !
The right honourable Leighton Hodges takes to the pitch tomorrow night in our game against Edinburgh.
True he hasn't done us too many favours lately , but overall we seem to do alright in the games that we have him.
We have made great progress in the last 2 seasons in our relations with the officials and it would be a shame to lose it now.
You don't have to agree with the mans decisions , but respect them and don't abuse them. If you have to shout at them at least make it funny !
Enjoy the game !

I'll be honest, I'd probably eat the apple. The secónd lad was spot on, I AM a fat bastàrd.
But 100%, let's not let ourselves down on the sidelines. Come and complain here afterwards!

Ok new season starts and we have Ben Whitehouse of the Welsh Rugby Union taking the whistle in our first game.
last season I thought there was a huge improvement in the attitude towards the officials.
Abuse of the officials is a serious no no, by all means disagree with them encourage them to give you a decision but dont abuse them, and dont let anyone near you do it either.
Look its very simple if you have two people with you in the room and you have one apple, both want the apple one is nice to you one keeps calling you a fat bastard, who do you think is going to get the apple?
We dont have to be sweetness and light to them, just simply not abuse them, if you are going to shout something at them make it funny and make us all laugh.
At the end of the game we clap off the opposition and the officials regardless of the result.
