hes having a bad run no doubt about it, but prior to this id say he was pretty decent. Hes always called a fair game in Belfast or Dundalk, and i dont remember anything of this nature being started over on KOTG.
Even as a giants fan he was rubbish last weekend so its not like im saying that because hes done my team a favour or anything. The only refs the giants ever seem to have any gripe about are Boniface and Hicks.
Its a tricky situation our ref pool in EIHL is very shallow, coupled with a lot of qualified refs who wont ref the eihl for various reasons, We need new refs to come through but when they do we lambast them for being below standard.
Hicks is now seen as one of the senior refs in the league yet only 2 years ago he was on enforced gardening leave after a series of poor performances.
