I noticed the other day that the officials for the championship playoffs were "premiership" refs. Does anyone know if this will be the case for our matches?

I only ask because I find it unfair that the refs who officiate our games week in and week out are suddenly deemed not good enough for play off games.
Admittedly their standards are not as high but they are used to the additional physicality in our division and ae more familiar with the players

is it that the league are hiding these officials from general public?

Seems strange to me

    How unfair would you find it if we got an inexperienced or sub-standard ref and he cost us a place in the final due to his incompetance?

    At the weekend Leicester had 4 handball shouts and Phil Dowd missed them all

    the refs we get are likely to be more honest than a prem ref as they are not "friends" with half the players

    If we'd a Prem ref for the Leeds match, why would we get a worse ref for the playoffs?

    I don't think he missed them, it's just none of them should have been penalties lol.
