Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2872316, member: 1899"] Ref-blaming is ingrained in the sporting culture, people act like it's a Broncos, Raiders, Roosters thing but even in the NFL and NBA you see the umpires discussed just as much as the players these days. That doesn't invalidate all of the criticism mind you. I just believe in a time and place and fans have to be mindful of who they listen to. For instance, I wouldn't listen to an ex-coach or an ex-player because naturally they'll want as little intervention as possible. I'd much rather take notes from other sports to see what they're doing to eliminate mistakes and see how that can be incorporated into Rugby League. For instance, I'd love to see Rugby League players and referees have the same rapport you see in Union. [/QUOTE]
