Quote: Roy Haggerty "They should. Sometimes they do. From talking to folks who know the SL refs, some refs are more amenable to assistance than others.
But even if some refs choose to ignore offside advice from their touchies, it rather supports my point - we have enough eyes already to police offside. There's no reason for the ref not to be effectively policing the PTB. A second ref is simply duplicating what touchies can already do.'"
I would imagine its the same as the officials in the round ball game.
My friend is a lino at championship level and he has told me more than once that some refs will say 'I want offsides only'.
Maybe just maybe if they get told enough to 'just stand there looking pretty' then that is all they will do even when they haven't been told to do that.
