Message: [QUOTE="papabear, post: 3298105, member: 8480"] I am a canberra raiders fan. We are famous for watching and blaming officiating. I can attest to without a shadow of a doubt whinging at the refs in pretty much every raiders game I have watched and a lot of neutral games. That all said:- 1 - I prefer one ref to two refs, you just get more consistency over a game. Two refs absolutely shat me. 2 - The reffing this year has been better then reffing in a long long time including last year - in my opinion the biggest reffing decisions are:- - being clear and consistent on when the defensive line can push up. - being clear and consistent on when a player is held and players have to release and GTFO - making the right decision on knock ons in the play the ball - these should only be a penalty if the defensive player knocks / kicks / shoves the guy playing the ball causing the error. Players dropping the ball cold, or milking a drop far too often got this call - this has been less so this year. 3 - Go to every fan site, of every NBA or NFL side and you will see threads / game threads bitching and moaning about refs. 4 - Captains challenge is a net positive - even though the video ref, this is the first year I would be happy if he fucked off, because the on field refs have been pretty accurate. If anything it gives the players an opportunity to challenge or shut the **** up and tackle. 5 - one sided reffing happens - you could make a case it helped brisbane in 2005 - a very good case in fact. But imo it is happening less and less now - but when you are shit and i say this as a canberra fan (who will need help from the refs tonite) you need more 50-50 calls and 70-30 calls go your way to get the win, when they tend to go the better performing sides way so it hurts doubly more. Look I enjoy blaming the refs as much as anyone - I still havent gotten over the 2019 GF but again it is what it is, and they are improving. [/QUOTE]
