News NRL drops referee

[djdeep4172]

The NRL has dropped referee Ziggy Przeklasa-Adamski for round three after the Bulldogs were denied a try because the official was ruled to have obstructed Cronulla's five-eighth Braydon Trindall in the build-up. Przeklasa-Adamski has not been listed as referee for any of the NRL's eight games this weekend but will serve as touch judge when the Wests Tigers go head-to-head with Cronulla at Leichhardt Oval.

Viliame Kikau had his try disallowed after Przeklasa-Adamski asked the bunker to check whether he had impeded Trindall's ability to make a tackle on the second-rower. Replays showed the Cronulla five-eighth collided with the referee as he attempted to chase down Kikau.

So the bunker ruled a mutual infringement - where neither side was to blame for the incident- and the game restarted from the previous play-the-ball. But the NRL rules state that the ref must make the call on the field if he believes a mutual infringement occurred.

"The referee is the sole judge of what constitutes a mutual infringement and whether or not play has been irregularly affected," the NRL rulebook states. "Contact between a defender and referee may not constitute a mutual infringement."

NRL's head of football Graham Annesley was unhappy with Przeklasa-Adamski's decision, stating that the try shouldn't have been overturned. "I don't believe this try should have been overturned. The referee has to be somewhere on the field. He can't just disappear," he said.

This guys pocket was filled with cash. He was so bad during the game as he destroyed all the dogs momentum. I bet this guy is Gerard Suttons love child

Using the Kikau try as a scapegoat.

He was flipping horrible all game.

HTF does the bunker escape scrutiny?

Local a grade refs are better than this mob

Zoggy was shocking throughout the game snd deserved to be dropped. Kikz try was a bunker error though. Those 360 clowns are always talking about the dogs but were strangely quiet after we got bent over by Ziggy

 

[EL Hefe]

Ziggy on the take, let's see if we get the 50/50 calls this week

 

[Lost Dog]

We seem to get shafted most weeks. This may be a blessing in disguise to put nrl officials on alert. Wondering whether our club emailed the NRL and asked for answers?

 

[John Matrix]

Todd in the bunker needs to be stood down too since he made the abysmal call for kiks but we are stuck with him this week, regardless I wonder if they are going to ease up on us and treat us fairly for a change.

One thing that dissapeared also was our chance to win ,what a momentum killer of a decision not only that but many others.

And what was different from the NRL video? You think 'I don't believe' and 'I'm sure' are the same thing? And where does the NRL say Ziggy got the punt because of that decision? Or are we now taking the Telecraps opinion as gospel.

It was the bunker that actually made that decision. Did they get dropped? No? You sure you don't want a piece of this Harbour Bridge action? Going cheap....

 

[King Gus]

Surly he was stood down for his shit performance, not just that one call that the bunker fucked up.

I admire your stubbornness bro but the Kikz try was a clear ref fuck up not sure why you are so adamant and wrong

 

[Raysie]

Wait, we have a referee with the name Ziggy and I'm only learning this now?

We don't have any referees, let alone a Ziggy

 

[Berries]

I really don’t even feel like the Kikau thing was the worst part of his performance.
I can see why he ruled that way, other aspects there were zero good reasons for what he reffed

In the all the years I have been following the Dogs, this is not the first time that a ref has been dropped after an appalling performance in a Dogs game that potentially cost us competition points. It doesn't help us, though.

 

[Mr Beast]

There needs to be more accountability towards these referees. A sack, a ban, for one or two matches is not enough. 2 competition points could make the difference.

Isn't the bunker ref our on field ref this week?..

It's unbelievable.

The best (or better defined as worst) I’ve seen was a bunker ruling on a forward pass against us vs the Eels a while back when Kasiano scored in the corner to tie up a game…. They (refs) have invented sh!t along the way for us.

That's the only one I can remember, too. I seem to recall how most of the media personalities cried foul.

I have a feeling that we are due for another game of poor refereeing when we face the Bunnies for their usual "Black Friday" payback game for the charge down on Reynolds by James Graham.
