Wow. I know it's the heritage round, but I didn't realise the referees were required to perform at 1908 standards. Hayne refereed one team and one team only all night. A perfect example from the first half: Parra kick the ball, Stewart gathers near the goal-line and is tackled by Cayless. Cayless holds onto the boot as Stewart tries to get up to slow down the play the ball. At this point, with no whistle, I think that we're not going to worry too much about that penalty tonight. Wrong. Minutes later, Manly get penalised for holding the boot in exactly the same way.
Just when you think Shayne Hayne is turning the corner, he puts in a performance like last night to remind you how truly woeful he can be.
