Traitor lolIts a big fat nah brah. Get past all the waffle etc., if Trindall was Taaffe and Kiks was Nikora, would I be happy if that was awarded? No way.
Never happen to us? You that confident?Traitor lol
Ps it will never happen to us .
I 100% sure if it was the other way around it will be a try.Never happen to us? You that confident?
But would you be happy with that? Coz as you say - its the worst calls.I 100% sure if it was the other way around it will be a try.
We get absolutely the worst calls.
If it happens all the time and they give the same ruling I would be happy, but you will probably never see it again for another couple of years.But would you be happy with that? Coz as you say - its the worst calls.
Same on the field ruling or the Analsley version?If it happens all the time and they give the same ruling I would be happy, but you will probably never see it again for another couple of years.
Whatever they are consistent with.Same on the field ruling or the Analsley version?
You thought of reffing? You'll get rooted by Analsley after 2 weeks but hey - it'll be a good 2 weeksWhatever they are consistent with.
I bleed blue and white so technically any opposition try is a no try and every bulldogs try is a try
I don't buy it too, but the way the game is administered, it opens itself up to a capacity to be easily manipulated.Will make next to no difference.
He’s still a touchy and still getting paid.
He’ll be back in first grade in a couple of weeks.
It’s just the NRL begrudgingly admitting an error.
I still don’t buy the ‘courruption’ claims though.
Some fair points there mate, absolutely.I don't buy it too, but the way the game is administered, it opens itself up to a capacity to be easily manipulated.
Biggest ones I can think of right now are the six agains and referees being kings.
-Six agains can't be scrutinized, the NRL's favouritism towards a quick touch footy style rather than finding a balance (penalties were good, ref can chat with players rather than blowing a whistle and just get the game going rather than being pedantic).
-Kings, they don't have to own up or cop the same pressure coaches come up with. Pay the refs more, allow them to do press conferences, that's a start to preventing corruption or favouritism
Players get punished after the game as well.Do you mean during tge game haha,
How would that work?
I can never see the NRL putting a ref on tv to answer questions no matter what their getting paid.Some fair points there mate, absolutely.
I agree totally the NRL wants a fast, free flowing product bringing bums on seats - live and broadcast.
It's all about the $ - not in a 'corruption' sense but definitely in a revenue sense.
They should bring back the two referee system - they only took it away to save money during Covid and the game is so fast now it's impossible to leave the adjudication to one person and expect them to get it right all the time. At least have one referee for the defending team and one for the attacking team - it worked well in the past, why wouldn't it work now?
If anything it might be even more effective.
You might be surprised how much referees get paid - some of the top guys earn well in excess of $250k - so yes, why not make them do pressers and explain decisions, even if it's not immediately after the game like coaches/captains but on say Monday once they've had the benefit of watching replays etc. It would go a long way to reducing any distrust. The main problem there might be getting referees continually coming through - it they're exposed to more scrutiny they might think it's not worth it. Good suggestion though.
You’re probably right mate - but they can do better than just rolling Annersley out every Monday too. So if it’s not post mortem explanations, it could be trying to reduce mistakes in a faster game - why bringing back the second referee could work. They want more money (Las Vegas, higher ticket prices, increased TV/Digital revenues) then they can also invest in ensuring that those who hand over their hard earned feel that they’re not getting the rough end of the pineapple so often. There will always be mistakes and the occasional howler, but there is also likely a better way than today, especially since the game got noticeably faster.I can never see the NRL putting a ref on tv to answer questions no matter what their getting paid.
You are correct mate they are on descent coin guys like Adam.G left his high school job at Aquinas,would have been doing okay but nothing in comparison to his current position.
Being a big dogs supporter he’s still not doing us many favours on the field lol
Agree I just don’t understand why the second referee has not been introduced back into our game doesn’t make sense at all.You’re probably right mate - but they can do better than just rolling Annersley out every Monday too.

After the game works,Players get punished after the game as well.
We do get f*cked over the most!Genuine try overturned when they "checked" it ten times to declare Nigel Vagana offside on the opposite side of the field at least 30m away from the play! Never forgotten that rort! Lol
This came up on my feed.We do get f*cked over the most!
