To be a ref in the NRL you're not allowed to have one of these...

the refs this week were too inconsistant for me. clown penalised dragons 3 times for playing the ball incorectly( right call) but the ref didnt once penalise the warriors for the same offence but they did it repeatedly.no problems with clamping down on a specific problem as long as it is done across the board

I heard a lovely comment at our game last weekend.

"The ref always plays to the rules. His rules."

www.nrl.com/referees-stood-down/ ... fault.aspx A bit old, but this is why refs here brick it and place people on report or not take the necessary action at the time on the pitch. Just do a Pontius Pilate.

Putting stuff on report should have died withg the advent of 2 refs IMO.
Touchies plus 2 refs....if something happens, have a conflab and make a decision. What's the point in having the option of 10 minutes if you hardley ever see it used?

I believe that if an NRL Ref walked into MacDonnalds and was asked if they wanted to supersize their meal they'd "go upstairs" for a second opinion
