Female Refs

She started in the Junior Rep system 20 years ago - it's been a long, slow road for her.
Some would argue that she got her foot in the door as a diversity hire, she kept the door open by marrying Gavin, and she's been part of the furniture ever since.

But I think it's always been obvious that she isn't up to it.
I'd take her over Klown every day of the week. So what's his excuse?

38 offsides for the game and only 5 paid. Thats the problem. You need to call penalties early or send a player off if they are still committing the crime. That is the only way to solve it.

They can go back through every other game played and the result will be the same.

Most refs go back 11 to 12m and let the player stand a metre in front of them. Seen it so many times when I'm at a ground. You don't see that on tv.

She has also done the whole white privilege thing so her Woke Elite overlords would accept her even if she is only mediocre. Kasey is the perfect example of a DEI hire based on gender not on talent.

Gavin Badger
@Thebadge72

Yesterday was the proudest I have ever been of this one. She stood in front of her peers and spoke of her white privilege and how she is using it to be an ally for Indigenous Australians. She spoke from the heart with passion, understanding and knowledge. #blacklivesmatter View attachment 86673

So she started at the bottom of the ladder and taken the long road to get to the top, and that is somehow proof that she was a diversity hire?

You are a Canberra Raiders fan so in this situation, I don't think your opinion can be taken into consideration.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen mediocrity is everywhere in this crazy gender targets world.

And of course we all know that gender targets are reverse discrimination. A response most often said by men but echoed by plenty of women too. Neuroscience and basic human valuing proves that negatives stick like Velcro and positives glide off us like Teflon. Gender targets scream: “’out with the men and in with the women”, and this terrible negative message is sticking like Velcro on the already fragile egos of all of us.

Young men are being hurt terribly by the masculine toxic nature of modern society.

And we are seeing the problems it has caused with increases in crime, violence and self-harm within our communities.
This dickhead just outed himself as an Aussie Rules fan.

No League fan would ever use this term.

Yes, Badger made some real poor decisions today. The penalty for a high tackle, which when challenged by the Tigers was overturned as no one came anywhere near the ball carriers head, was a shocker.

I thought Belinda Sharpe had a solid game.

I think Sharpe has had some decent games, today was not one of them. But the bunker let her down massively.
Badger as a lot of people say needs rest.
But honestly there needs to be something one to improve the consistency in the NRL refereeing. It just is not reflective of how professional the game is supposed to be.

But lets also not forget that the media / commentators make it worse by carrying on and getting it wrong as much as the referees.

Badger committed the cardinal sin for any ref.....being so bad that you lose control over the contest as a whole.

She should absolutely be dropped to a lower level of rugby league.

I thought Belinda Sharpe was okay tonight.

I think the real ref problem in the NRL lies with the bunker. They have been horrid this year....yet, their job is much easier than an on-field ref.

Refereeing standards across the board have nose dived this season. Not a single one is having a good year.

of the chicks, badger is the only one that needs dropping. Her decisions on field today were terrible, but so have Ben her decisions when in the bunker too. Not caused by her being a woman, she just happens to be a shit ref.
