Flanno and Barrett result

[Vee]

might have missed it, has any decision on their appeals been announced yet?

 

[carcharias]

Dunno about Barret
Flano is appealing

Fined 30k first time he has ever bagged a ref in a press conference.


Klein hasn't reffed since.

 

[POPEYE]

Klein was a great referee in ESL . . . 2 refs competing for attention has a lot to answer for

We forget too easily the reason we went to two refs, because one couldn't keep up.

They keep up well enough in England and we don't need to see every single f**king indiscretion penalised, we don't need to see the course of the game changed by pedantry . . . we just need referees to enforce the obvious

England is shit.

Do you remember how bad it got before we changed?

 

[POPEYE]

England is shit.

Their best referees are better than ours . . . doesn't matter if England, SWS or anywhere else is shit

The standard and speed of play is way down on the nrl therefore the referees have an easier job and and so are made to look 'better than ours'.

Of course to prevent your tears I won't mention that Bellamy bringing in the wrestle was the main instigator of having two refs in the first place.

Referees can't keep up here because they consider themselves players in the game, the Poms think it necessary to remain anonymous until necessity dictates otherwise

You'll need a wheelbarrow for all that bullshit

 

[POPEYE]

Just to clarify, the English game goes end to end many more times than in the NRL regardless of how fast the players can run. In part due to lousy defence but mostly due to the refs letting the game flow

 

[Vee]

And how do you change that?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

What bullshit?

Super league is a lower standard than the nrl. Bullshit? No.

The 2nd referee was introduced to better police the ruck due to the higher levels of wrestling. Bullshit? No.

Craig Bellamy introduced wrestling techniques such as the grapple tackle, chicken wing etc to the game. Bullshit? No.

Too easy ol mite.

 

[POPEYE]

And how do you change that?

Maybe dress the refs in burqas so recognition is null and void. Probably better to tell them to imagine every game is SOO. The best refereeing performance I've ever seen was an Aust/NZ game refreed by Richard Silverwood

Pretty easy game from the grandstand.

to penalise everyone of the purple scums indiscretions we need 5 refs, 2 obviously isn't enough for the cheating merkins.

 

[POPEYE]

Pretty easy game from the grandstand.

The grandstand maybe but not up as close as we get by camera . . . almost as close as the referees. If you can't distinguish between an obvious knock-on and one that should be disregarded then you should carry the flag for Australian refereeing

Searching for ways to interrupt the game would have Suncorp burnt down at Origin time. All the refs have to do, as in Origin, is interrupt the game for obvious disadvantages to either team. Someone on here said the game could be stopped in every set of six if the refs chose to . . . there are occasions where the time, place and reason they chose to do so are dubious

 

[POPEYE]

What should be obvious to anyone with more than half a brain is that Bellamy's tactics have changed. He has left the wrestle to teams trying to catch up. A look at for-and-against tells everyone he has embarked on something new . . . he told me not to tell
