Still Penrith District.I think you’ll find it’s the Penrith District Referees Association.
I don’t care one way or the other but to just hit Badger with this I find strange.

I absolutely despise the 6 again rule.Makes a lot of sense
It's that on-the-run 6 again that seems to escape any scrutiny, not the penalties nor the Bins or send-offs.
The 6 again calls, are potentially the greatest weapon to swing a game without accountability. Whether sub-conscious or deliberate from the ref. In the wrong hands a very suss rule.
I don't like them (6 again) at all!
So how about someone contacting Andrew Webster on Sydney morning Herald website and see what he has to say?So we hear many days later that the Canberra Raider fan with the drum was assaulted by Dogs fans. Fearing for his life. He said luck they won or god knows what would have happened. Wow. If that was Saints it would have been all over the news and Braith would be blowing up delux on NRL360. The media is so biased towards teams it is not funny. How protected are the Dogs and it really just shows how much power Gus has.
All good points mate, I’m sure.How about all this blow up about Moses might be seeking a release on NRL360 the other day. Caryannis was on the panel during the discussion. Braith and Gordy were going off deluxe.
They were supporting the team that were talking to Lomax when he had 2 years to go on his deal. Was hoping Carryanis would remind them that being a Saints fan. Lomax was not happy and they pounced. Roosters doing exactly the same. Moses not happy and the Roosters are "monitoring" the situation just like Parra commented on when Lomax was sour. Looks like Ryles has come in, tapped players on the shoulder and since then players looking to get out. It's gone south since then.
How funny would it be if Moses leaves and Parra struggle the next few years whilst Dragons are finals bound every year going forward. They were not good enough for Ryles apparently. Saints dodged a bullet big time. How lucky he backed out. You never know Lomax may have a clause which is common for Parra to get a release if Moses is gone.

Not only this but it is nearly ALWAYS refereed differently for the two teams. How many times have you seen one team get six again after six again down one end of the field, only to see the other team get nothing down the opposite end of the field when the opposition is doing exactly the same things. Its infuriating.The 6 again has zero accountability as the game still flows. The callers just mention it, and the fans sit there thinking " what was that for ".
Then the count is "evened up" when the game is done and dusted.Not only this but it is nearly ALWAYS refereed differently for the two teams.

Couldn’t agree more! Amazing that everyone I speak to hates it just as much as the blow out scores 48-38 type games. Yet, you never seem to hear any comment on it through the media…?As you and @blacksafake have articulated, the 6 again is a stain on the game.
It has changed the very fabric of Rugby League. Our game was never meant to have arbitrary calls resetting the tackle count at will. There's a reason we have penalties and sin bins. They are also subjective but subject to scrutiny. The ref ( rightly or wrongly ) calls off side, ruck infringement, high tackle etc.

The game was fine before it. Too many rule changes and bear in mind, now it’s ONE ref making all the calls. I fricken hate it.
So many of us do Tru. They happen a lot to us when the opposition is in our red zone. It's like the Ref just looks for the slightest off side or infringement and calls it. I think the Cowboys and us are the worst ones hit by the 6 agains when teams are in our red zone. It's the repeat ones of maybe 3 or 4 that you know the opposition will score you can bet on it. The refs are loving it. They have the control stick to stick us up, the bastards.As you and @blacksafake have articulated, the 6 again is a stain on the game.

Here is one I also don’t agree with and may be alone on thisCouldn’t agree more! Amazing that everyone I speak to hates it just as much as the blow out scores 48-38 type games. Yet, you never seem to hear any comment on it through the media…?
I do but I think they could use it apart from a try scoring situations like a knock on? but whatever it was restricted and basic as it should beThe 6 agains causes me to worry about how many are called by the bunker?
The best captain’s challenge / bunker “rule” was in our game with Newcastle at Jubilee about 5 years ago. Neither of us could make the semis so they used an experimental rule where the ref would rule tries and the defensive Capt could have a challenge on the try. From memory it was one each (one per half?) and there were none used in the first half - the game was played basically like the way we used to play footy, the half flew by!
Anyone else remember this?
Oh for the days of Ron Casey , Rex ‘ absolutely flabbergasted ‘ Mossop and Frank ‘ it’s long , it’s high and it’s straight between the posts ! ‘ Hyde .Couldn’t agree more!

Yeah, CookieHave we signed any bloody good players yet or what?
Ron Casey was as a terrible caller & his knowledge of the game was questionable. The other two were greatOh for the days of Ron Casey , Rex ‘ absolutely flabbergasted ‘ Mossop and Frank ‘ it’s long , it’s high and it’s straight between the posts ! ‘ Hyde .
Those 3 gentlemen always called a spade a spade , not fearful of their respective T.V. stations as are the balless cretins who pass for announcers today .
many parts to it. does not happen over night. We just may have agreed to terms unofficially but thenHave we signed any bloody good players yet or what?
Ronnie was most likeable in my opinion, as to his knowledge of the game it was good enough for the 9 network to renew his contract season after season .Ron Casey was as a terrible caller & his knowledge of the game was questionable. The other two were great
