NRL Referees revolt

Harrigan being removed from the game can only be a good thing.

He is a cancer and directly responsible for the diabolical state of refereeing and various rule "interpretations" that are hated by fans and players across the board

His ego destroyed him being a top ref and now it has destroyed him being a good administrator. He always worked off Harrigans rules that were vaguely based on the rules of rugby league.

BUT no point changing mid-season IMO. Wait til years end and then completely overhaul the refereeing ranks & system.


why wait? if he stays he just does more damage. hopefully whoever comes in brings back using some commonsense instead of this weird interpretive dribble harrigan has come up with.

he was once a good ref but his ego has made him decide to change rules to suit whatever weird framework he's using

If they change now it won't make much difference IMO. We're almost half way through the year, wait til the end of the year and make some major reforms.

So Freddy passionately believes that it was a try then? Stirring?

They really didn't take the loss well at all did they?

One gets that impression Pete.

NSW gonna NSW...

:lol: Someone in NSW starts their lawnmower and the Queenslanders immediately cry "CONSPIRACY".

Immediately, of course, forgetting/ignoring/not having the mental capacity to understand that its REFEREES taking this stance, not anyone associated with the NSW Origin team!!!!!!!

Harrigan has proven to be a egotistical spanker the day he thought he could become a global sex symbol by joining Super League.

Replay Russell would be an interesting candidate for the job.

He would take so long to review decisions he could be seen walking aroung League Central in his jim jams at 4am still trying to form an opinion on a forward pass from 2008

Wow.... NSW are really embarassing us all.

The only thing worse than a narcissistic victor is a sore loser. And NSW wins both awards.

Or so Paul Kent says.

The only direct quotes are from Gallop (typical vague quotes) & Former NSW Captain Freddy Fittler who's going to fight the good fight for refereeing standards.

We believe in you Brad!
