Message: [QUOTE="Battler, post: 2967064, member: 8509"] The existence of game management and penalty kpis (refs telling each other what the count is) is enough to suggest that they aren’t doing what they’re supposed to do: referee the game as they see it and enforce the rules evenly throughout the match. For example, our ruck speed when we copped about three penalties in the final quarter of the game was no worse than the cow’s, and certainly not as slow as Melbourne’s. That peeling penalty is something the storm do in legitmatley every tackle, after they’ve worked a bloke over towards his own goal line on the ground. Edit: it’d be like if a t20 was starting to become lopsided the umpire starts turning down lbw shouts and calling no balls when the foot isn’t over the line. The sport doesn’t need that sort of nonsense to be interesting, neither does RL. I don’t think that they’re smart enough to consciously rig it like a wwe event, but subconsciously? All we ever hear about is how close every cows Broncos game is, and the refs are notorious for what I stated above so no one in the media will call them out if a few ‘dubious’ calls got the score line close. But you’re right about losing interest and why don’t I walk away if I believe it’s manufactured. If it wasn’t for SuperCoach I’d only watch Broncos games, I already have lost pretty much all interest in Origin. It’s a shame, because I love the sport dearly. Contact sport will be dead in my life time anyway, so the nrl kicking its decline into overdrive may help soften that reality. [/QUOTE]
