Laughable Officiating

[Fade.To.Black]

The officiating is an absolute disgrace. Pretty much every game, every week.
The Warriors v Raiders game today where the Raiders had a successful challenge when their bloke was tackled a few millimetres off the ground which resulted in a mid-air tackle ruling. Yet at the death the ref was happy to let a (at least 2m, but possibly 4m) forward pass go. Thank god RTS was there to shut it down, that was disgraceful refereeing.
On a positive note, RTS ran from close to 50m to pull off that try-saver. What an effort!

How about we stop calling them referees and call them something else?
and its not because their only human and that they can make mistakes (think, how many successful captain challenges have we had in just two games?)
Some of them are clearly disgracefully biased.
They are not nrl referees they are in fact corrupt nrl game supervisors.

Absolutely. Good post.
Perhaps instead of referees we can call them punters. Some of them seem to have a cash interest in certain matches.

The Warriors also scored off a 4m forward pass. Perenara is simply out of his depth.

The game was never designed to be officiated in such a manner. Frame by frame freezing the play to pick up micro errors whilst 4m forward passes go unchallenged. Officiating has been lost for years and it is only getting worse

Not so sure ..I remember as many dud decisions in the 70's and 80's etc for example when Grahame O'Grady was ruled offside in a semi when he was the one who kicked the ball..a captains challenge or bunker review back in those times would have changed that..

It's just that there is more technology involved now..

Refs have been duds since 1908...

 

[supercoach]

Good thing about Henry the Howler, he doesn’t ride the top weight every week like Cumins and Sutton and is not a arrogant tosser. He just makes some terrible calls.

Referees have to start using commonsense to rule on the game. We as supporters have to be able to understand if is not to the letter of the law. We will have a much better game

That's the point. The money spent, the time wasted and the consistent wrong decisions take away from the games enjoyment. We're expected to put up with all this rubbish for no real improvement.

Makes sense. :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Tbh beside a few bad calls I have found refereeing great this year, its improved for me. Less penalties for milking etc. More action.

Less penalties full stop. Now it is random six again calls, which again seem to benefit particular teams

No. Unhappy that they can rule on that, it was a matter of millimetres in that instance. Yet they miss 4 metre forward passes.
And the fact that blatant forward passes are highlighted massively during tv replays yet still cannot be ruled on. It's a joke.

 

[hank37w]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, what the hell are the touchies doing letting all these forward passes go.

Unhappy they can rule on things correctly, but you also are mad that they get things wrong? If he's in the air he's in the air and it's a penalty. You sound like Joey saying knock ones shouldn't count if it's in slow motion ?
