Almost no Cowboys fan has made that claim

Some have. But my post wasn’t aimed solely at cowboys fans. All teams have their fans that blame anybody and everybody except their team, hell I myself have done it. But people need to stop blaming the refs for their teams failures

Not having a plan b and c in the opposition 20 lost the game for us last night.

But if you overhear the commentary scratching their heads over a decision more than once during a game it’s pretty easy to guess who has the whistle. Even being bias and favourable to a side still takes a level of competency that is beyond a potato like henry

I would like to know how much nrl refs get paid. In all likelihood not enough to ensure high quality skilled humanoids. I watch union a bit (used to a lot being a kiwi and all) and whilst not perfect of course, their refs are 10x better than those of the nrl. Resolving this shit nrl ref issue may be simply a matter of throwing money at it.

One flag up one flag down for a conversion last night ffs. That’s nrl reffing in a nutshell.

The worst refs in all world sport, Soccer World Cup referees a close second...

That and training.
Some of the refs haven’t been given the skills needed to adjudicate on NRL games.
Also union refs are probably better, but not 10x better, they just have 10x less media pressure applied when they make a mistake.

I admit 10x was not empirically derived.

Referees are on around 100k a year...you think about it, that's the minimum contract for a player
got no issue with 2 touchies having a difference of opinion on a close call like that, the rule book states the call goes to the ref, so it happens

The difference between NRL and all other sports and why the focus so much on the referee is because the referee is more involved in the processes of the match, Union/AFL/Soccer formations and speed are not controlled by the referee

in rugby league the referee controls the ruck speed as well as being in charge of setting the defensive line.

A problem is the NRL structure itself. there are 20 or so full time contracted referees, 16 needed for 8 games. in regards to injuries and the like a referee will not be dropped because there is no one to pick from unlike the old days when the competition was streamlines and reggies and first grade were under one banner

 

[Perth Red]

Surely they must be on nearer $200k? Cant believe anyone would do that full time for $100k!

Imbeciles would.

Edit: do

Imagine a job where you get booed all day for doing your job...

Imagine you right now, in whatever job you do, getting grief from all sorts of people who don't do your job for the quality of you work you do.....

That's the life of a Rugby League referee.

I reckon they deserve whatever they get paid. And probably more.

You also have to be the fittest person on the field as well. Something the majority of league fans wouldn’t think about

100K a year ? Thats f**ked if true... I hate the merkins as much as the next merkin but that's peasant wage..

Lol what ?

Fittest on the field. Lmao.

Any 80 minute foward, fullback, and starting hookers and halves, would have the ref well covered.

Whaaat? Someone supporting the refs? Don't you know the referees only exist to f**k up my team? Their only goal is to ruin our sport!!

Lol

100 k a peasants wage ?

f**k right off Browny

I mean it isn't like they are putting in a full 8 hours 5 days a week 52 weeks a year for their 100k is it ?

Well I ran 7km yesterday while reffing a 70 minute game but it's nowhere near as hard as the up and down stuff players have to do.

Pfft neither are players

Which has nothing to do with the refs
