Because if they didn't there would be a hell of a lot more penaltys. Why don't you use one of your brain cells instead of posting such rubbish

Easy. Turn off the ref's microphone when the game is underway and then restore it when he's explaining a decision. It won't annoy anyone then.

As a former player I welcomed a vocal referee. Ones that are quiet end up having to blow up more as players are unaware they're in danger of infringing. I had more confidence in a ref that was able to make himself heard and kept the advice up as he went along.

Well put, sir !

I disagree that the Move call can go, if we get rid of that, how will players know when to get off a tackled man? There's no set time, and it already varies depending on which ref.

Agree on the onside wait call though.

And my big thing at the minute is the markers square and moving off the mark. If there moving off the mark penalise them. If their not square penalise them. Wed have a much cleaner ruck for it. Instead of what we have now, which is a mess and constant short 10's as the ref compensates for letting the player move off the mark.

This!
Absolutely spot on, I am the point now where i really don't enjoy the coverage anymore but still watch out of loyalty to the sport i guess.
That and the play acting and wrestling is just slowly draining any enjoyment for the game.

Same as it always used to be, the ref calls held, or the tackle number and you then get off the tackled player before he penalises you, this whole hanging on and wrestling stuff is awful and it should be wiped out of the game, the responsibility then falls on the tacklers and defensive line to get set as best they can to avoid getting caught out.
