Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2765047, member: 1769"] unfortunately I fear as much when Greenburg go the job ... he only cares about keeping the status quo. I thought the whole idea of an "Independent" commission was to end all that and do what the game needed done. guess i was wrong. it is also a bad sign that the standard of refereeing in the game has plummeted since the likes of Tim Mander (do you think he has had enough of politics yet) and Bill Harrigan retired. The Bunker itself is a great concept, by allowing the video refs to choice the footage they view instead of the broadcaster, you ensure you get a true version about what is happening. unfortunately, the one draw back of having this technology is that you need someone competent to use it ... and we simply haven't got that. after Greenburgs big statement that the Bunker will not get any decisions wrong, it appears that he has instructed Archer to defend the decisions made (if he actually believes what he is saying then he should be fired immediately). So, when the NRL release the stats about the bunker, the can claim what a success it has been, but these stats are based on a lie. The referees now know that no matter what decisions they make, they will be backed publicly, which makes it impossible for them to be dropped for poor performance. all of this has lessened my passion for this great game, I used to watch rugby league for hours on end, but i got sick of seeing the incompetence of the referees destroy a great game of footy. I will however, still watch both QLD and the Broncos whenever they play [/QUOTE]
