Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2680416, member: 1950"] Referees should be applauded for doing a thankless job. Somebody's gotta do it. That said, to be the best in that field it seems to take a fairly egotistical personality. To rise to the top of that bunch would take some serious, maniacal personality traits. You can only assume that such a personality would want to make a stance on the biggest night in the NRL calendar or to make a controversial decision [I]despite or in spite of [/I]the pressure of the occasion. Hence just the ridiculous decisions that seem to come out of Origin matches. And the fix was on last year for a NSW series win. Nothing overtly as far as saying "here's is a bag full of cash to make NSW win" but every powerbroker, decision maker, tv rights holder, NSW born management everyone knew that "this is the year" because we can't let the bastards win 10. Let's take every marginally legal advantage or pressure point and hammer it for all its worth. [/QUOTE]
