Sack Daniel Anderson

For the good of the game, Daniel Anderson must be sacked or stand down immediately. The refereeing has been abominable this season, and nowhere was this clearer than tonight.

Absolute confusion reigns. This is by far the worst season for officiating I have seen.

Daniel Anderson, it's time to go.

Yep, have enjoyed the Skeepe show all year. Thanks Skeepe and I have to agree with you. It has been appalling all year for all teams

The simple reality is when Hayne is your best you have issues.

I remember a Raiders V WT game in 03 or 04 where he was basically a cheat and got stood down for nearly a full year and now he is the best we got.

Ray of hope was that Ziggy chap in the NSW Cup though

Pretty much, Hayne is the same referee that decided to send players off "for talking with their hands".

It's quite ironic that the NRL found someone worse than Harrigan to be the referees boss.

I honestly thought when I watched roosters v souffs at the start of the year the refereeing looked quite good, and had high hopes for the year - video ref had f**ked off that stupid benefit of the doubt crap, they were quite consistent and to be honest I hardly noticed them.

After the next game, it was all downhill, culminating in that. It seriously is at the point now where you don't have to be Johnathan Thurston to think that there is a conspiracy, it's truly awful.

Didn't think the refs were that bad tonight to be honest , they are never going to be perfect to get closer to perfection we would have to be like NFL and stop the game for 5 mins on every single play

That night in Canberra was a. 13-3 penalty count. And the tigers got 2 of them in about the 77th minute. Spray tanned f**king prick

Again the refs missed a blatant forward pass which changes the course of the game.

Not a little intriguing that for the second week in a row, the rorters managed to jag every contentious call and more than their fair share of penalties.

Amazing that they have given up so many penalties through the course of the year until the business end and then they become a team that doesn't get penalised. Either that or the refs apply a different standard.

Can't stand Hayne. No idea who's out there, but I hope to god someone can replace him as the "best referee" the game has. f**king useless merkin who calls it from his own book of rules. Though my hate does runs a little deeper than just his shit calls.

I wouldn't sack Anderson. The season started strong and then around the Test round, it started to dip.

Huh? Which game was this? The only game I remember from Hayne in '03 was the night the Eels hammered the Sharks 74-4 and Peachey was sent-off

INteresting you started to talk about cheating. As a Knights fan, I won't forget that Knights/Bulldogs game last year and how when the Knights were down on the scoreboard by quite a bit, we got all these mysterious penalties and when Ennis approached Brett Suttor, Suttor mentioned something along the lines of "the tide is turning". Always struck me as suspicious as to whether or not the penalties were contrived (even though we ended up losing the game).

Why are refs interviewed before the game like they were today?

The f**kers should be anonymous.

Anyway, I though the Roosters deserved to win, but they did get the rub of the green. Manly had enough ball in the last 15 to score but couldnt.

Ho hum.

74-4 was great. he basically told the sharkies he was giving them leg ups later on in the match to keep the scored down. Eels would have brought the century up if he followed the rules...

I thought it was heaps btr than last year...

Manly were unlucky with a lots of calls, unfortunately.

Is break in the plays that horrible? You will never get a game referred both perfectly & instantly.

I think the captain's challenge sounds like a good start for next season.

Well, yeah, but don't let that get in the way of a 'we hate the refs' whinge.

The Terrorgraph has it's "Dave Smith is a hoity toity Welshman" crusade, LU has its "Refs are f**ked" crusade.
