Cummins might not speak well to players but players rarely speak well to the refs.
True, but...I am fairly certain it was Cummins who, in a recent game of ours he refereed, literally yelled at Jamie Lyon from several metres away "Get away from me! Get away!" before Killer even had a chance to approach him to discuss a decision. Jamie hadn't said a word to him before he launched that tanty.
A number of the referees most definitely have favourites (JT, Smith) and they address everyone else the way you'd speak to an animal. Respect needs to go both ways.
