Look maybe we **just need to ask the refs who the Top 8 , Top 4 and premiers will be each season**
Just had to nick out to BCF and the ABC Grandstand blokes are just blowing up , missed the two sin binnings
I'm heading towards this point of view. I can't remember a season as farcical as this in the refereeing stakes. Maybe it's the NRS's 'enforce everything' position this season, after years of coaches manipulating the rules and getting away with it, that is leaving ref's, coaches and players confused. I'm glad the NRL cracking down because it had to happen but until they have it sorted across the board it is going to look really ugly…......... and boring
I can deal with them enforcing the rules
But in the space of 90 seconds in the Cowboys -Souths game they miss 4 players all offside all within the 10 metres when Feldt drops the short drop out
And then go 80 metres downfield and catch Granville offside
My point is this , if the refs are this bad , the game has a massive problem
My issue is I don't think they are that bad , they miss stuff and then hope that results fall a particular way

You could cop it if they explained post game or on their own show on Fox why particular decisions were made
Show would rate very well too imo , most would watch to find out why
If they make a mistake admit to it , gain some credibility that way
Mistakes happen , none of us are perfect , but at least if you own your mistakes and show accountability people can deal with it
True ??
