I can not express my true feelings about the refs under the rules of this forum.
Absolutely trueThe ref's are a bigger blight on our game than these off field incidents imo.......the difference is that one is swept under the carpet and the other is on the front page!!!!!
Agree 100% on all points.IMO the video ref should be pissed off......and the two on field refs should be a permanent team, so that they know how each other works.....IMO then you would see more consistency.......but the way it is at the moment, unfortunately i think this is the year where a bad refs decision will cost a team either a spot in the GF, or cost a team the GF
what rules?I can not express my true feelings about the refs under the rules of this forum.
Two refs, to touchies, and how many nubs up in the video ref box? Yet they still can NOT get it right, week in, week out. The fans and the game deserve better.
I've had a gutful regarding this hack! and I have for a few years now!
Under his control the game spent a couple of years more similar to wrestling than it did Rugby league.
The game has gotten so fast that it basically involves one marker as the 2nd bloke doesn't get a chance to get into position so low tackles are not worth the effort.
Dummy half running has become a major aspect of the game yet markers get penalised or called out of the play at will when they are close too if not exactly in front.
Teams constantly keep getting relieving penalties early in games for holding down when there is nothing in it just too allow the referee to gain control of the match...
Tries are awarded for bouncing the ball with a finger nail within the vicinity.
The refs have so much on their plate as it is, yet he has them yelling out dominant and surrender almost every play.
I didn't see the manly v's cronulla game, but I have no doubt that Finch and his incompetent ways didn't help the situation...
