Message: [QUOTE="Nerd, post: 3602160, member: 11778"] I've been saying this for years. The ref pool needs to be enlarged to include Brisbane based refs. This crap about all the refs having to be based in Sydney because that's where they train is just a cop out from the NRL. All the refs can have a video hook up once a week to discuss which rules they are going to mess with this round and we get more than double the number of refs to pick from as lets face it the quality of refereeing seems to be dropping year on year. What turns me off watching non Broncos games is how the interpretation of rules can vary from ref to ref. I blame all the constant rule changes we see every year and especially the disaster that is the 6 again rule which can and is abused by refs with no retrospection. My fix would be to go back to how it was in the 90's when as soon as a ref called held the defenders had to roll away from the tackled player and none of this crap where the ref calls held then waits a second before calling release and then players peel away from the tackled player one at a time. They could then ditch the 6 again disaster and just go back to a penalty if a team attempts to slow the tackle too much or is inside the 10 in defence. This will badly hurt teams like Penrith and the Storm but would make all games much faster and so much better to watch. [/QUOTE]
