Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2853872, member: 8315"] Agreed. We have to empower our refs. That means blocking out dribble from the likes of Rothfield etc. I've been beating up on the NRL a lot lately but one of the things they did right was back Gerard Sutton to the hilt when James Graham broke Reynold's leg in that Easter clash a few years ago. I would've bought Graham's 'but sir, I couldn't pull out in time, was an accident honest!' if he didn't have wrap sheet as long as your arm. The guy bit Billy Slater in a GF ffs. I think the solution is clear. The NRL need to tell the referees to officiate the game however they see fit. Forget KPI's. Forget consistency. If you think a team is holding down penalise them. Offside? Penalty! Dangerous conduct? Point to the sideline and get the fucking muppet off the field. Players aren't dumb. Pretty quickly they'll learn which ref likes to keep a skinny 10 meters, which ref won't cop blockers taking out chasers, etc, etc... [/QUOTE]
