STEP NUMBER 1
REMOVE IAN ROBERTS FROM THE JUDICIARY PANEL

ah god times , good times. :lol:
The Popper said:No surprises here. IMO the League has always played favourites and reeks of corruption.
E.G. 1978 - our Captain, Greg Pierce, who had an unblemished record was sent off for decking the late big Dallas Donnelly, who was a substantial perpetrator of offences. Greg was given a four week penalty which ensured he would have no chance of playing in the GF. Dane Sorenson had been sent off in a late round game and missed the GF too.
Consequently, with Hartley reffing, Manly beat Parra with a try on the 7th. tackle. Then drew with Cronulla through an apparently blatant referring non-decision. Thus Hartley was able to please the League supremo of the time, Ken Arthurson. (Don't scrub this Mr. Moderator as Arthurson definitely would have been pleased with the result.)
Furthermore, my wife suspects that some referees, by their performances, are told which team has to win particular games and act accordingly. I would like NOT to believe this, but it's damned hard when we're tolerating some of the excuses for a referee that are being fed to the public these days.
I guess the only other thing I can say is - look where the money is?
