Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3552425, member: 1769"] Atkins and 2 touchies have been dropped from this weekends games for not being able to count to 7. Atkins has been "demoted" to bunker official for 3 games. Dean Ritchie says [B][I]"Their axing is a clear warning that the NRL will not tolerate such serious adjudication blunders with the all-important finals just a fortnight away." edit: The NRL's head spin doctor said:[/I][/B] “All three officials are very experienced and they have plenty of credit built up over a long period of strong performances,” Annesley said. “However, serious errors do have consequences, which they all accept goes with the job. “Grant Atkins is one of our most senior referees, and I have no doubt he will quickly recover from this set-back.” [/QUOTE]
