In fairness the referees are there to police the rules, not make it an even contest. A few years ago the Tigers got absolutely towelled up by the ref in a golden point loss to Souths. In the media briefing on Monday Annessleley admitted three crucial calls were all wrong against the Tigers. Paul Kent then wrote an extremely well worded article about sub conscious bias against so called 'shit teams' by the officials. Essentially it was saying that referees never go out to purposely be against a certain team however in 50/50 moments then 'good teams' will always get the call, this will happen even more so when the game is on the line or the 'shit team' is leading, as sub consciously the referee is programmed to believe the good team should win, the also know that there will be less blow back and less scrutiny if the 'good' team wins as its whats expected.
