Old elbows Nelson deserved a good whack and taste of his own medicine. Luai delivered and disguised it really well.

When a touchie can't see a pass thrown at least two meters forward while directly inline with it(Canberra) we are no chance of seeing any quality reffing in the NRL, I watch better reffed bush footy games every weekend from match officials that aren't even getting paid.

The refereeing is that bad these days, it seems there might be more than a few Ryan Tandy's in the refereeing ranks.

Don't know about the bush games but the JRL ref's are fkn putrid and looks like they are not corrected all the way to the nrLOL.

It's like they just make any moron a ref just to fill numbers.

The quality of junior reffing has always been pretty average as most of the refs are learners and the juniors aren’t playing for sheep stations or at least they shouldn’t be.

So this is the charge sheet as of yesterday.
View attachment 78409
So going through this who actually attempted a tackle. Brown and Fotuaika - Luai just went in with a pure shoulder charge to the face of Nelson while being held.
Who got hurt - only CNF from the Fotu tackle.
Then I look at the Burgess shot last night - based on Fotu and Brown should have been sent off but wasn't.

If I include the Burgess tackle - Luai was by far the scummiest shot of the lot. He got away with it coz he's a lightweight and Nelson isn't. Yet, of the four, the only guy not to spend time on the sideline.

Honestly, I cannot work this shit out anymore.
Its because they are as consistant as a $20 rolex

There was a moment in a dream I had last night where I pulled up to a set of traffic lights with 3 other cars. We all left the lights just before they went green. I looked in my rear vision mirror and Gerald Sutton walked out in the middle of the road behind us with a pad of some sort writing me out a ticket for running a red light. WTF @Doogie, did you sneak into my house and leave hash cookies in my biscuit jar?

Everyone talks about alpha props, etc. Are there any alpha refs??

I always thought Tony Archer was a good ref and apparently he was a former police officer.
