Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3263182, member: 8255"] And this is what happens when the rules aren't enforced, but the game is "managed": [ATTACH type="full"]12992[/ATTACH] The players have no idea what is allowed and what's not because it's subjective, to the referee's interpretation, and it changes every other week. I was a huge fan of the penalty blitz a couple of years ago where the refs were told to blow the pea out of the whistle for all legitimate penalties, for mine that was a sliding doors moment for the game. It should have continued until the players got the fucking idea. Instead the administration rolled over and went back to "managing" the game. I hate hearing referees coaching players through a game - these guys are playing at the highest level, they know the rules, why give them any latitude? It's more work for the refs and it's more confusing for the players - and the fans. Inconsistency is easily the game's biggest issue right now, and has been for a decade. The fix is simple - officiate by the rules. But no-one has the kahunas to do it. RIP Rugby League. I won't be watching any more games this weekend and refuse to watch any games other than the Broncos for the rest of the season. [/QUOTE]
