Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3475990, member: 8423"] Great response. I also want to clarify, I don't think there is a conspiracy because I just don't think people involved in rugby league are smart enough to do so. For me the issue has always been incompetence from top down, very much including Vlandys. The one bloke who seemed to actually be doing a good job was the British accountant and then he got punted / left because he was too good for the job. My issue has always been that it should be one of the best and most popular sports in the world but it isn't because although it masquerades as a professional organisation and competition, it is run by idiots / incompetents / amateurs and this is symptomatic in the refereeing. I hate that I think the Broncos should wrestle, play dirty, be constantly offside, etc because that is not how I want rugby league to be. I hate that I think Kevvie should speak out about the refereeing but I think he should because those that do, like Robinson, Stuart, Tripp and the Cows as an entire organisation, they get treated better because the powers that be get scared of those that call them out. As said above by other posters, I think there is a bias against teams that do not speak up. The Cows v Tigers was a probably the best example of this because incompetence directly changed the result and then this was doubled down by officialdom post-game trying to cover their own backsides and as a fan of the sport itself, this sucks. The World Club challenge was another excellent example of this bias coming through. St Helens were clearly the better team all game and in the end, the right result happened but in spite of the ref, not because of fair officiating. And another point for posters who seem to constantly criticise fans for being passionate in game and complaining, seriously, what is wrong with you? This is a fan forum, posters should feel free to be, you know, fans. So if you don't like bias in posts in game threads, don't go into them, it is that simple. Passionate fans for our club should never be criticised for being passionate fans for our club. [/QUOTE]
