Message: [QUOTE="broncos4life, post: 3594573, member: 7802"] Going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I hated the way the GF was reffed because I hate the whole notion of reffing games differently, even origin but I can accept it there because you have the best of the best playing and it has always been like that. All the average fan ever wants from the refs is consistency so when then go and tell them it’s great if the ref one game completely different to the rest of the year and let the rules slide? Makes no sense. Especially in the GF, the game that is the culmination of the whole season and all of a sudden you are changing your interpretations. Even in these ‘put the whistle away’ games they still have to call some penalties so it is a guessing game of when they have finally had enough and you have to hope it isn’t your side that gets caught out. As for the game yesterday if the whole thing was about being a spectacle to try and get a few Americans to watch the occasional game then I don’t have that much of an issue with the reffing but it should be an exhibition game and not for season points. I am actually floored he said this is a spectacle. I also don’t buy the heat of the moment excuse, his job is about making heat of the moment decisions so you can’t get a pass mark when you **** it up. Should we give Spencer a pass mark? I mean it was the heat of the moment after all. [/QUOTE]
