Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2873755, member: 8988"] Majority of the time, the better team wins these games, regardless of who gets the most penalties, but there are those close ones where the ref seems to go out of his way to change the momentum of a team threatening to run away with it. I think last night the ref seemed to go soft on the cowboys in that second half (not that there weren't a few dubious forward passes we got away with). I think against the eels, it was similar case but in our favour. In both cases the right team won, but the refs need to be more conscious of this or we will start getting compared to pro-wrestling. I think we have a little way to go before we get that far but I really want the rules of the game modernised to take some of interpretation away and make them more clear, consise and easier to adjudicate. I don't think for a moment, our referees are bad, only that they are dealing with a flawed rulebook and weak mentors who give in too easily to noisy opinion. When your threatened with the sack every second week, but a "great" game gets you not only a pass mark but laudits, why wouldn't you err on the side of the underdog. [/QUOTE]
