refs can't make judgement decisions, it's been proven time and time again

if they aren't told exactly how to officiate a game then they're in trouble, remember years ago with the obstruction rule?

How does dropping the ball instantly count as using your advantage?

They considered the pass as taking advantage. I think if you're going to say that, then the guy receiving the pass has to take it cleanly before you say advantage over.

What really gets me is you have that call today, yet in the Test on Friday, Thurston kicks the ball forward more than 10 metres and then fumbles the regather, and the ref said he hadn't taken his advantage.

Pretty scrappy stuff but nice atmosphere going. I loved the St George jersey banner/tifo, rugby league needs more of that stuff.

They are told. They're told that passing or kicking the ball is considered taking your advantage. Going by what they're told, the right call was made.

I think a little common sense would have been good on this occasion.
