[Rhino_NQ]

Will these mean she needs to replace #metoo with #penaltybroncos?

 

[Still Nutty]

She'll be a shining light with fine company like this

Considering the advice was that it didn't require a review …

Anyway - good luck...we need as many referees as we can get to build the talent pool and hopefully she can do her job well

Belinda Sharpe is set to become the first female on field referee this Thursday night.

This is the same buffoon that was partly responsible for the Nene MacDonald injury fiasco earlier in the year. Glad to see that incompetence has been rewarded.

Discuss.

So is it sexist to abuse the ref or it sexist to not abuse the ref?

I'm so confused.

 

[Leber]

If she's on the field then who will cut up the oranges at half time?

I’m sure there is someone out there wanted to be offended

Her handling as a main ref of a Qcup game (easts v cutters) earlier in the year was f**king horrendous. Carlin Anderson cops a sickening knock to the head trying to catch a bomb and is unconcious on the ground in absolute distress and she allows the game to continue for 2-3 more plays. Easts end up scoring but it was some of the most farcical officiating I have ever seen. He ended up with a fractured vertebrae and I acknowledge that she is not a doctor and not able to diagnose injuries off the cuff but it was pretty f**king obvious play needed to stop to get this kid immediate medical attention.

As long as she can at least pretend to be impartial, and consistent, then she will be numerous steps ahead of the current crop of inept fools.

 

[Fangs]

Good luck to her.

She might very well be the best referee in the NRL. The others aren't much better.

Maybe she'll make a sandwich for your fat, untalented arse.

You assuming that all women are good for is making sandwiches?

You sexist pig.

Good time for her to come in. The bar is that low you could walk over it.
