Steve Lyons and Tony De Las Heras get the punt!

[hitman82]

My understanding is that NRL Referees are contracted year to year - so rather than being sacked, they are simply not being renewed.

If that is the case, then too bad really. Fixed term contracts open you up to being dropped with f**k all warning.

 

[Perth Red]

Depends on their contract, annual then no come back, permenant then the NRL are in strife.

 

[Vic Mackey]

God this makes me sick.

You were shit at your job and you got sacked. Theres 20 positions to fill and you werent one of the 20. Stop whinging like a little bitch. This bullshit self entitlement attitude is exactly what's wrong with people these days.

Here's a tip: work hard, be good at what you do and you won't get sacked!

 

[butchmcdick]

So what skills can he transfer from his reffing career into an everyday job ?

I mean he is set up as life as a parking inspector. Everybody hates those merkins too

 

[bluey]

This has been handled like amateur hour
Would the AFL have done this

You do realise people who work hard and are good at what they do still get sacked right champ ?

 

[skeepe]

Two of the worst referees to ever hold a whistle. Good riddance.

Suttor, Maxwell and James should be next.

No they don't

 

[ceagle]

Going with younger refs?? These are refs not players ffs! Age is irrelevant.

f**k me Vic.

I'm agreeing with you far too much lately.

Astonished that James ended up surviving, he's the worst I've seen.

Who the f**k cares?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

It's a good start. Next on the agenda is to take every touch judge or linesman or whatever the f**k they call them out the back and shoot them.

$109000 a year for complete incompetence? Lyons and derp les sal should go into politics.

Or neck themselves.

 

[Glenn]

As others have mentioned surprised to see Lyons told his services are no longer required. If no news can be believed it sounds like a clear cut age discrimination case.

 

[God-King Dean]

Publicity sackings. Sack 2 of the lesser profile refs to try & look proactive.

Feel sorry for them.

 

[Burwood]

Rothfield comes up with a list of 50 things that need fixing, and this is where the ARLC starts? #codeincrisis!

 

[Godz Illa]

In AFL it's impossible to work out the difference between a good umpire and a bad umpire.

 

[Kiwi]

What I want to know is how do knuckeheads like Simpkins and Clarke keep their jobs with the blatant mistakes they made? And they had replay's in front of them to view and still f**ked it badly and cost teams matches.

 

[Edward]

This will put added pressure on referees, which is not a good thing.

 

[reanimate]

They sack these two, yet keep Brett Suttor? :sarcasm:
