2 x refs = 2 times the gymps

Speaking of the refs. Is the pink shirts for charity? Are they for the whole season or just this round?

The main ref should wear a different top to the secondary ref so that Des Hasler and Matt Orford don't get confused. I have a strong hunch that Manly are trying to conceal something about their team with their objection of 2 refs. Are they the real grapplers?

Much to my surprise two refs seem to work, the ruck is being ruled on properly, and the defence is being set quite nicely. far to much calling for the video ref still though. I have noticed that the 2nd ref can seem to get a bit lost close to the oppositions line...I wonder if having them go into the in goal has any merit.

Lets wait until the GF is over then we can assess where its at.

Better refereeing, the only problem is the lack of depth. Gerard Sutton for example in the Tigers/Raiders game was absolutely atrocious and nowhere near first grade standard. Any referee who is unable to recognise a tackle being effected in the lead up to a try, and then having the option to back out of his stuff up by going to the video ref... and STILL getting it horribly wrong, is not worth his salt at this level. Other than lack of depth to sustain it, the game has sped up enormously, much to the detriment of any team who want to sabotage necks for a slow play-the-ball.
