Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2874142, member: 8988"] I just want consisant ruling whether it means 50 penalties a game or 5. The worst thing is for a ref's ruling to change the game contentiously, and with almost every dicission open to interpretation how can they avoid it. One thing I envy of soccer is the cut and dried nature of the rules. Even the yellow and red cards have their application spelt out. With ours you need lawyers. Try to simplify where possible, aid in interpretation with precedent, and above all give some thought to the guys officiating the game when making them. They should be trialed and NRL refs tested on their application for consistent interpretation. Ideally the rules should be that cut and dried that you don't need to. I know that's not how they work now, with greater weight given to the "flow of the gane", but we're coming to a point where a grandfinal's last moment will be decided by a player reading the refs calls and deliberately playing " momentum" calls or fouling opposition players, knowing the 50/50 calls are theirs.
