| Spot on, the reason so many perplexing reffing omissions / bloopers/ misses are made is probably 99% of the time because the refs are playing to a script written for them outside the actual rules. I too would have no great issue with that (same for all) if I only could be bloody well told what the fsck the "rule" is.
One glaring example is the PTB. Nobody has sent me a letter of confirmation, but it is 100% certainly the case that the reason referees ignore persistent and delibertae ignoring of the LAW to place the ball on the ground, and to then play it with the foot, is because this LAW has been disapplied by the back door. It isn't a question of "interpretation" either. When I see players barely lift their off the floor and immediately roll the ball to the acting half, maybe under a cursorily raised boot, it isn't as if there could be the slightest argument that the LAW has been comprehensively infringed.

| Thought this thread was all about injustice? And also the fact that in a later injustice served up by Steve Ganson, when he eventually agreed that we (and the millions of viewers who saw the injustice on Sky were right and he was wrong, which like the voluntary tackle by Chris Joint cost us victory against Saints and Leeds. At least Smith bugg...d off to Australia whilst Ganson was promoted to the highest office (probably on the 3rd floor, if Red Hall is multi story) at the RFL.
Yes it was right on both counts!!
