Female Refs

[Banger]

I’d have no issue Belinda reffing first grade if she was in the top 8 refs in the game. But she isn’t. She’s there because she’s female. More woke bullshit.

 

[Fangs]

Thought Belinda was crap yesterday but in her other matches she has done well. Can't be perfect every game. Tough conditions for players and referees.

NRL leading in this regard. Any AFL female refs? I'd be surprised if there were.

Yeah anyone who says "woke bullshit" isn't entitled to an opinion, boomer

Especially when their opinion also implies you can find a clear top 8 from the shit heap of refs we have in the NRL

Sharpe was pretty shit last night. So she’ll fit in perfectly with the male refs.

 

[T-Boon]

you've missed the point the OP was making, it wasn't about any game specifically

its female refs generally and they officiate in all leagues and variouos sports world wide now, its the 21st century

True - they aren’t as lazy as they were in the previous 20 century’s.

I couldn't even name 8 male NRL refs, let alone a "top 8"

Plus if we accept a literal inhuman orc as a referee surely we can accept someone with boobs...

Can you name the top 8 refs in the game?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Can you name the top 8 refs in the game?

Can anyone name the top referee?

 

[Bazal]

Can anyone name the top referee?

I can only name bottoms

I think you'd struggle to find 8 refs better than Ms Sharpe.

Gee? Nup.
Atkins? Probably not.
Sutton? Either of them?
Ziggy? At least he tries hard.
Klown? f**k no!

Can you name the top 8 refs in the game?

Nope.

Answer me this. Is she there because of her ability to referee a game of rugby league at the highest level, or is she there in the name of inclusivity?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Nope.

You have any proof on your claims?

 

[Saxon]

Nope.

I would argue she is at least on par with the other first grade refs. Ironically, it's a couple of the so-called "top" refs who I think are struggling to meet first grade standard.

 

[GongPanther]

Michaela Tabb is a Scottish female snooker ref since 2021. Monika Sulkowska and Desislava Bozhilova as other notables.

 

[Maximus]

Nope.

She's there because of her ability to referee a game. Prove she's not.

 

[Vee]

It is quite amazing how much more respect the female referee gets over their male counterparts from the players.

I wonder how long that will last.

 

[Munky]

I wonder how long that will last.

The one thing Union has over League is that the refs take no shit.

Any back chat goes to the bin.

Well atleast in 2003 when I last watched the sport

 

[blue bags]

Can these female referee's Cook

 

[Rod]

I would say the exact opposite. The ruck laws are applied with remarkable consistency at all levels of the game in the 5 main RL nations. Genuine deficiencies are only conspicuous in developing areas.

I suspect those who rail against inconsistency have never read, much less understood, the "Tackle and PTB" section of the rulebook. Same applies to most media pundits. Very frustrating for refs when their ruck infringement calls are so frequently misinterpreted by commentators. Blind leading the blind.

Rubbish. The ruck isn't even refereed consistently from game to game in the NRL.
