Unfortunately that word is an easy win people trying to virtue signal , rather than face the facts .no need to mention gender she is “considered” a professional and is paid to do a job. Refereeing was conducted in a poor and referee should be dropped back to a level where performance can be assessed. Only when performance is deemed to have improved, only when this has occurred only then shall referee earn the right to return to top level. Unfortunately the NRL will continue to damage the brand if this amateur referee at an elite level. USELESS
Whilst I admit , I was furious with her on Saturday , I’ve been just as angry if not more so at the Sutton army , as well as thier best friend Klein for a lot longer .
For me my main issue with her is her demeanour . She has a sense of arrogance and condescension , and the way she dismissed our captain on Saturday repeatedly , who had genuine grievances with her officiating , was just not professional IMO. It came across as spite and come-uppance , which in turn contributed to the fact the players began to undermine her . She missed the golden rule with officiating at that level . Mutual respect . And in turn , the players and many of us fans as a by product gave her the same lack of respect . It was a shit show IMO . And everyone looked bad .
