Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2853845, member: 2221"] That's a fallacy, at least in terms of the scope. Yes, they all have the occasional mistake in them, but nothing like the NRL's degree of incompetence, especially when you take into account the howlers from the Video Ref! We have examples in Australia with the two main other codes... AFL and Yawnion have nowhere near the amount of mistakes, dubious rulings, or the already famous piggy-back "equalisers" to try to make most NRL games look ultra competitive. Look at the NFL a few years ago, when there was a dispute with the professional top grade referees... they brought in the "second rank" and everyone was up in arms pretty quick in the first round due to the amount of mistakes being made. The same goes for the top code in the world, where referees are constantly being scrutinised, and dropped when they're not up to the competition standards, and they don't even have the luxury of a Video review. And the latter is the problem. I don't have an issue with an incidental mistake, but like we don't accept a player constantly derping it up (unless your name is Hunt or Moga :p), the same standard should be demanded from, and provided by the officials, even more so to those in the ultra-modern and expensive Video Room! I see regularly better refereeing at ISC and even Colts level ffs. The NRL wants to artificially pretend its competition is level for all clubs, by enforcing a cap which props up useless clubs and limits the better ones, while using the officiating to help maintain the illusion.
