People say the game is moving forward ,but I disagree. Quite recently we had the sad passing of Fred Lindop, a fine referee. However he was a born and bred Wakey lad and we never had the benefit of him reffing our games and rightly so. Same should apply to Kendell and Huddersfield.
Think (for this money) Phil Bentham (a Leyther) was the best British ref (so far) this century but did not enjoy him officiating Leigh. Possibly, in a subconscious effort to show his impartiality, he sometimes erred on the side of caution to the detriment of The Centurions (as were).
Refs are decent blokes that are made to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous posters. They are also human and can make mistakes (the refs not said posters).
